Boot Camp

                       This is my card for this month's Boot Camp.  I use 3 colors and tried to stay with that.
                       The paper is from Joann's and the stamp is Hero Arts.  I used some "candy" on the big
                       flower and black pearl pen on the smaller flowers.  I embossed the yellow banner
                       in the middle to give it some texture.

Repetition

I made this card for the Boot Camp series on repetition.  I got the stamp in the dollar bin at Michaels and I just love it.  My friend Cindy got me started on Washi tape and now I just love that stuff.  The stamp is from Gina K, the ink is Amuse and the Washi tape is a Smash product.  This will go in my next box for Operation Write Home.  As you can see, I am not great at taking pictures.  It is way prettier in person.

Cricut cards

I had no mojo last week so I put away the stamps and the ink and got out my Cricut.  These are the cards
that I made and once I got started the mojo kept coming!!!  What I like about using my Cricut for cards is they can be very embellished but still flat to go in the mail.
These cards will all go in my next box to Operation Write Home.

Cards using material

I recently spent a weekend at the Cozy Crop House in Pennsylvania with some amazing friends.  We visited a store called Farmhouse Memories.  It is a quilt store that incorporates fabric into cards.  Here are some of the cards I made using fabric.  I am not big on coloring and I like the vibrant colors on the material that I didn't have to color!  Enjoy!

Bright and Cheerful

I am going away on a long weekend scrapbook/card making trip with some ladies who also make cards for Operation Write Home.  I cannot wait to meet them in person.  Here is a card that is bright and cheerful just like my mood is!  I will post some cards we make from our weekend when I get back!

Happy Easter

Pattern Play Day 3

I have had this busy paper for ages and never knew what to do with it.  I recently took an on line card
class called pattered play.  One of the things I learned is if you have busy paper, break it up and
it doesn't seem so busy.  I cannot tell you where the paper is from as I have had it forever.
The sentiment is from Hobby Lobby and the punch is from Fiskar's.  The little green embellishments
are from Walmart.  Pretty clean and simple but beautiful too!
