Tim Holtz Class

I do LOVE this card.  I have never been all that jazzed by this die but I think I might be now!!  Painted the wings, embossed the crown & covered the heart with stickles!!  I'm not sure you can see but the background is embossed too!  I love tying the twine around various elements.  I need to incorporate that into more of my swaps!  I also think I NEED that tiny attacher thing.  The tiny staples are so cute!!

While I LOVE the way this card turned out, I HATE those flowers.  I'm sure Archviers wanted us to buyt the 4 punches and the tool kit to make these flowers but the were toooo much!!  Punch them, ink them and then use a tool to curl them.  Nuh uh!!!!  I LOVE the ribbons stacked up & the cupid!!

Orange & Purple

I made what I thought was a PERFECT purple & orange ATC for Chris's swap.  She never got it & never got it.  So, I made a different one & sent it to her.  I don't LOVE this as much as I did the first one but maybe that's 'cause I KNEW it was a replacement.  I think this is a Unity stamp & I KNOW the DSP is Basic Grey.

Last week, I got a USPS "body bag" and the original ATCs were returned to me.  Chris' name was ripped thru so they sent it back to me.  ATCs were not damaged!!!  I'll have to come up with a swap theme that fits & host one of my own!

Tim Holtz Valentine Class

Ever so long ago, I took a class at Archivers.  I've just never got around to posting the pics!  Now that Valentines Day was a MONTH ago, I'll post.  LOL

I liked the IDEA of this card but my execution of it left something to be desired.  I'm going to have to try this on another card.  Maybe one I can actually do properly. 

October Afternoon ATC Swap

I hosted a swap with the only stipulation that you use October Afternoon paper.  This is my ATC from the swap.  A month or so ago, Lori (I THINK it was Lori; Lori was the one to send me star cut outs!) showed us how to make these 3D stars but much LARGER sizes.    I thought that a smaller version would work great for this paper.  I love how the end product came out!  The grid star is from Unity, the orange one is a punch!

Love, love, lovel, love!

Love is in the air.  That's Chris' swap theme.  Applies a TH Mask to white cardstock.  Sprayed with Glimmer Mist.  Then, before removing the mask, I stamped w/my Ippity music stamp.  LOVE how it turned out.  Now, if Chris ever got them....

More Snow?

I could have SWORN I've already posted this but, I didn't see it when I searched my blog.  I think this was for a swap Angie was hosting.  This was one of my first SU sets.  I bought this back when I didn't know how to color images.  In fact, I HAD no coloring mediums!!  Kinda surprised I didn't get rid of this set for just that reason.  But, I'm glad I kept it.

Blue & Green

Chris did a couple of color combo swaps!!  I had this old SU paper I got on clearance and it was PERFECT for the blue & green swap.  You can't tell but I squirted the white paper w/glimmer mist.  made it look really cool but, made it VERY hard to glue down properly.  The paper curled & didn't want to stay to the mat.

I got your goat!!

For a goat ATC swap.  Digital goat, paper pieced.  I really liked this goat.  Aparently, so did everyone 'cause 2 other people used the same goat.  

More Birds??

This is my absolutely favoritist card of all those we did at Debi's.  I MUST get the scratchy background & the Nature Walk set now!!!!  I may need this emobssing folder too!!

My blogs are for the birds!!

Go check out my 365 blog for EAGLE pics and a rather boring hawk pic. 

And here, I have bird cards today & tomorrow.  LOL  Made these at Debi's SU party last month.  This is my new favorite, must have set!!!  It's so awesome!!

Baby Baby!

Another card from the SU party!  I needed a baby congrats card so I picked pinks to do this spinner card.  The arrow is just a brad.

Plane & Simple

I LOVE how the clouds turned out on this card.  We took a Scallop circle punchie & inked around the edges of it.  So simple but SO EFFECTIVE!!!  Now, I'm ready for my dad's birthday!!!

Happy Birthday

Another project from our recent stamp camp.  All supplies SU.  Sent this to my newest SIL for her birthday last week ;)

That's Amour!

Went to a SU party and made some cards!!  This is my least favorite but that's only 'cause I HATE how the ripped paper turned out.  I am NOT GOOD on random; I can't tear, I can't stamp random backgrounds (see the big, blank space under the heart?) and I can't do jaunty angles.
