Thanksgiving Card

There's not a lot of stamping in this quick and easy Thanksgiving card.  But I used a Tim Holtz flourish stamp to stamp the background with Versamark ink.  Then I brushed Perfect Pearls on it to give it a soft, glimmery color.  Patterned paper, twine, an image from Twisted Paper and a die cut finish out the card.

Found Poetry Swap-part two

I recently posted the ATC's I made for a Found Poetry swap.  Here are the ATC's I received.

I hope you enjoy them.  This was a fun swap.

Found Poetry Swap

I recently participated in an interesting swap through the Collage Stuff Yahoo group.  The idea behind "found poetry" is to take pages from an old book, cut out words and make little poems from this.  This particular swap was for ATC's, which are one of my favorites anyway.  These are the ATC's I made.

I found this swap fun and challenging. In a later post I will share the ATCs I got in exchange.

MFT sketch challenge 143

I made this card for the My Favorite Things sketch challenge and for a swap.  The flowers are MFT stamps and dies.  I love the soft look they have.

Remember Card

I made this card for Simon Says Stamp's Monday challenge.  The challenge was to use an exclusive Simon product.  I used a die called Bella Bloom to make my flower.  My image is stamped on an alchohol ink background.  I used patterned paper and two different types of netting to make the flower.

Time to Play

Here's a card I made following the Mojo Monday 213 sketch.  I was doing some straightening in my craft room and found this set of wooden playing card stamps by Inkadinkado.

Scrapbook Layout-Gossamer Blue #1 September

Hello Blogging Friends.  I made this scrapbook page from Gossamer Blue's September kit.  I think the only items not from the kit are the white card stock, the journaling stamp and the alpha.  I'm a relatively new subscriber to Gossamer Blue and I plan on entering their challenge to make 4 layouts a month from their kits.  This layout is about playing mini golf on a long weekend trip to Branson.

Still on the fence about True Scrap 5, an awesome on line papercrafting convention?

I've been to the other True Scrap events, and they were a lot of fun and full of useful information.  But if you've never been, Lain is hosting a complimentary True Scrap Sneak Peek event on Thursday, Sept. 26 to give people a taste of what True Scrap is all about.  This is what Lain has to say about the preview:  "By now you've probably heard about True Scrap 5, the universe's coolest, funnest, and most innovative scrapbooking and papercrafting event. If you aren't one of the over 200 people already signed up to join us online on Oct. 11 and 12,  maybe you have some questions.

 

Not sure about the whole "virtual webroom" thingy?

Confused about whether you'll like interacting and learning in that online environment?

Wondering if True Scrap is really different than other online learning opportunities?

 

Wonder no more! Join me and some of the True Scrap 5 instructors for an informal get-together on Thursday, Sept. 26. We'll be giving you a tour of the room, answering questions, and even sharing a virtual make-and-take from a previous True Scrap event. And it's free, so sign up and bring a friend!"
