6 x 6 Layout for SWAP


I have to confess that I have never made a 6x6 Layout before. I also do not feel my Layouts look all that great. I used a PageMap to come up with this. I think it looks pretty good. I wanted to show how the same layout could be used for different occasions. Here is the Layout as a wedding theme. Yes, that is me and my husband. We look so young! Oh right, it was before kids! :-)
Thanks for looking!

Crab and Company Card front


I LOVE this cute set! I made this card front, my second one since joining Stampin' Up, for a SWAP at a Downline meeting. I used the Versamark ink for the shell background. I think I am going to get a lot of use out of this set!

"Fall" tag



I love how this turned out! It is my first tag I have made! I made it for a SWAP I am in on Cricut.com - 6 months of tags SWAP. I used the Jumbo roller by Stampin Up! called "Whimsy". I inked it using the Versamark stamp pad. The letters I cut "fall" out in are ginger fonts by QuicKutz, (I believe that was the font). The little leaves are by Jolee's. The ribbon is from Micheal's. I can't wait to see what I come up with for next months tags!
Be on the lookout for more with this versitile Jumbo Rolling stamp!

Booglie Eyes by Stampin' Up!


I was in a halloween card swap, and dug out this set that is by Stampin' Up! I loved this set from the moment I first set eyes on it! It is retired, but makes such cute cards! I used the masking technique and stamped the mummy over and over (and over) again! It was a little tiring, but I think it is so cute!

Stampin Up's Fishy Friends


I made this card for a SWAP on Cricut for a Kids cards that I hosted. It uses Fishy Friends, which although it is retired, is a very cute set! The frame around the front of the card is done with a rolling stamp I bought ages ago from Michael's. I cut the frame with the Coluzzle.
Thanks for looking!

Shoe Box SWAP


I made this card in preperation of a ShoeBox SWAP I am in at Claire Lawrence's house this Saturday. I used Real Red Cardstock, and the Naturals White, and Glorious Green. The stamp is from "Give Thanks". I used the Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils to color the image, and the Real Red cardstock is sponged using Certain Celery stamp pad.

Sentiment reads:
Give thanks for
the simple things
in life.

Card Front SWAP


I went to my first meeting at Kristin Fuller's house for Stampin Up on Monday July 21st. I was invited to bring a SWAP along. It had to use only Stampin Up product, which was currently avalable. So I used his stamp from the "For Father" set. The Card stock used was Real Red and Naturals White. I used the Stampin Up water color pencils to color the image. I don't currently have any embelishments from Stampin Up, so I couldn't add them. But The recievr could always add ribbon, or some brads/eyelets.

Sentiment reads:
May HAPPINESS touch your LIFE
today as you have so often
TOUCHED the lives of OTHERS.
