Welcome to my World

Welcome to my little corner of the vast God planned domain. I plan to share mostly my card projects here, you might even possible see some scrapping, quilt projects, and photography. Who knows I may even try other other craft projects. I am also going to share a selection of little recipe cards I have collected over the past few years - scrapped, of course. There may even be some little things of greatness of my daily life. Every now and then, I might even vent!

Getting a lot of swap completed

Made these two cards today for a floral swap.  I am having so much fun completing my swap on SCS. Hope people are liking the cards I am making. The top card is using CC302 and SC313 turned the long way up.. The stamp is Fast and Fabulous from SU using white, Real Red and Black. The ribbon is SU Real Red Ribbon Grosgrain Polka Dot and I tied it in the center with some red spool of ribbon. I am not sure I like the two step stamping much as I wish it would line up better.  The bottom card is CC293 Concord Cherry Olives. I used the Because I Care stamp for the flower and thank you. The flower is t5amped in Crushed Concord and leaves are Old Olive with the Thank you in Cherry Cobbler. Flower is back in Cherry Coblbb\er and double border punches in Olive and Concord accented with Ruby rhinestones. Thanks for looking. These are in the mail soon.

Birthday Wishes for Swap

This is a card I made for a masculine swap on SCS. Also used challenges Mojo171 and CC301 on SCS.
I did change the Mojo171 to an oblong card because this is just about the best size for mailing and swapping.
The recipe for this card was Mojo171 Sketch.
Ink : SU Going Grey
Paper: All SU, Whisper White, Marina Mist, Going Grey, Concord Crush from CC301
Stamps: Countryside and Sincere Salutations by SU
Accessories: CM Cutting System for oval, miscellaneous brads, dimensional under the end of the oval.

Just 4 more day until the big wedding

A couple of cards I have made this past week for a couple of SCS swaps I am participating in.  Really don't want to give the whole thing away but just a sneak peek of what may come your way if you are in the black and white Christmas or any other swap on that board.  I am also taking a lot of cardmaking supplies with me to work on swaps and my own Christmas cards while on vacation. I have to make close to 100 for myself and my own Christmas swap. Think I might be busy if the weather is nasty or I get tired of walking on the beach. HA HA Thanks for looking and will check once in awhile when I can.

Getting a Jump on Christmas 2010







Going through my stash of stuff and needing to use it up I found the Creative Kit by KI Memories in the stack. Also found a challenge to join - Christmas Cards All Year Round so made 5 cards with this kit. There were only 4 softies clips so I added the poinsettia to this one for get my 5 cards for the challenge.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate any and all comments.
