Masculine Cards 2

My St. Louis friends and I got together the day after Christmas for some stamping!! One of the girls had gotten a Christmas card using this pin wheel design. We copied it for some different card occasions.

Swimming?? In January???

In an attempt to remember what WARM weather feels like, Angie hosted a pool theme swap. Changito makes me cold just looking at him.

Calendar with Trees


A few years ago, a different SU Demo did a calendar using a retired tree set (can't remember the name off the top of my head). Marge's hubby got these nifty little calendars & wanted to make a similar card. As I had just gotten Branch Out or Christmas, I threw together this prototype. Not prefect but I thought it turned out pretty cute.

Christmas Ornament


I made this for the kids' teachers and my friend/stylist. It didn't turn out quite as cute as I wanted it to. Next year, I need glittery snow. I put glitter in these but it all sunk to the bottom.

Ok, I KNOW Thanksgiving was a LONG time ago but


Here's the ATC I did for my Turkey Trot Swap. I LOVE how this one turned out! I think it's time to host some more swaps now that the Shack is Back!!!

Christmas Card 2009



While I like having the extra cards from doing Sherri's 5 card a month challenge, I really do like making my cards in November (or, lets be real, December!) production line style. Plus, I like having the one quintessential Christmas card for the year. I really didn't like this card when I put it together. In fact, I considered dumping the whole concept. But, as it sat on my desk, I decided I DID like it. Now, it's really grown on my & I think I'm going to make a few more (Scott's co-workers need cards). Merry Christmas!!

Zoo ATCs

I hosted a zoo swap and this was Becca entry. Everyone got the original 9 and then this one as a bonus. I guess I need to host a "kid" swap.

I don't even remember who's swap this was. I'm thinking Sherri's but who knows (I really need to post DAILY!!!) I LOVE this b/g paper. I used the left overs to make to/from tags for my gifts. I'm going to try to start using all the scraps to make cards & such so I don't have so many left overs after making a swap.

Sherri's Santa Swap



The previous post is the card I made for Sherri's swap. Becca (my 15yo artistic dd) wanted to get in on the action so she made this card.
