Friendship Card Front


I've been getting inky again :)
I had intended this card to be mostly blues and greens...but ended up with my ususal red and brown in there...typical!!
I used more great Tim techniques too! loving the classes over at Kazmo's, which are based upon Technique Challenges found on Tim's blog. You should check them out - great fun!
This will eventually be matted onto a card and sent along...if I can bear to part with it!
Thanks for stopping by :)

A Layout & A Card

This is hubs and Haylee reading together. I have to be careful when doing layouts with Cam in them as he hates anything too frou frou and girly. So I got out my tiny circle punch and scissors and made the 'notebook' paper, inked it all up and voila! Journalling is on a hidden tag under the vertical pic. The card is made with scraps from the layout..couldn't resist lol






Layout materials: SU cardstock, Kaisercraft, Scenic Route & Jenni Bowlin patterned papers. Ink is Vintage Photo distress ink. MM metal bits, misc ribbon.
Card materials: SU stamp sets 'So Very' & 'Everyday Flexible Phrases'. SU cardstock, Scenic Route & Jenni Bowlin patterned papers. Ink is Vintage Photo distress ink. MM metal bits, misc ribbon & tag.

Olive Love

I actually went into this with the intention of making a masculine card, and yet again I ended up with something girly. Ack! Why oh why do I find it so hard to make masculine cards? Hmpf!
Anyway, here's what I came up with. Love this colour combination!!
Again the pic isn't great, but for those that don't know me, I have a problem with my hands, and as it turns out, today is not a good day for them. The result - blurry pic from my wonky hands. Sorry bout that.



Materials: SU cardstock 'Old Olive' & 'Chocolate Chip', Kaisercraft patterned paper, SU stamps from sets: 'Noteworthy' & 'French Script BG', American Crafts ribbon, Versamark ink, popdots

Bright Birthday's

A bit of a personal challenge - I hate bright reds and yellow but really wanted to try something new. And I must say - I really like them!

Tinted Thank You's

Not my usual style but I'm trying different things :) I'm loving the 'tinted' kind of softness about these cards.
I have used Stampin Up! French Script background that is difficult to see in the photo but looks divine IRL.
*Drat - last pic is a little blurry. Hope you can still get the general idea!





Materials: SU Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Blush Blosson & Whisper White. SU stamps: French Script & Best Barcodes. Basic Grey patterned paper: Lilykate "Chenille". Dew Drop chalk ink in Pixie Dust & Versamark watermark ink. Bazill brads, Kaisercraft pearls, Prima flowers & misc. ribbon.
