Clear out time

 Whenever I tidy my craft room I try to find things to use up to decrease the
clutter as I don't want to part with any stamps, stencils etc.  I found a stack of
black and white floral card stock that I wanted to use up and a set of
envelopes with a scallop edge.  I made 14 cards and used a lot of snippets.
Here are 3 of them:


Snippets for card 1:
 
 




My stash of cards for chemoangels special requests is now
resupplied.  I just need to make some masculine cards.  

Have a wonderful week!

JDS - Rocket Man

Showing another  new monthly  release and challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps:





My card today features:  Rocket Man, a fun Fourth of July card.  I
printed the fireworks on vellum and quickly put gold
embossing powder on top.  The bottom layer was in one of
my snippet piles.  It is patterned paper glued to card stock and
then embossed with a star embossing folder.

Take a look at what my teammates created and join the
 monthly challenge,  anything goes here.

JDS - Pirates Life



 Time for a new monthly  release and challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps:





My card today features: A Pirates Life.  I printed the black and white of the
image in ivory card stock.  I distressed the image with  Tea Die distress ink,
on the edges I darkened it with Brushed Corduroy distress ink and then
black soot on the edges.  I added a layer and used my distress tool on
the edges, layered up and distressed the sentiment.

Take a look at what my teammates created and join the monthly challenge,
anything goes here.

Happy Shower

 


First my apologies for not visiting your blogs very often.  My
parents have had some health issues and this has kept me
busy.  Also we had a vacation out west, hiking and
visited Pasa Robleis-a wine region.  I am trying to visit
and comment once a week. 

This card was made for a friend's daughter for her baby
shower.  It is Elephant Parade by Lawn Fawn and is a darling set 
with so many uses.
