First, the sketch:

and here's my card:

The paper is from Collage Press (the plaid) and Scribble Scrabble (the cherries and the red are from the same double-sided sheet). The letters are from Making Memories; the rest of the pieces are generic supplies like rhinestones (recolored with Bic permanent markers), green twill ribbon, embroidery floss, buttons and lime green Stickles.

The paper for the card comes from Cosmo Cricket's "Material Girl," "Garden Variety" and "Nutmeg" lines. The rub-ons are from Making Memories. I hand-stitched the border with embroidery floss.

April Layout Kit

I'm working on my April layout kit for Sharin' Memories, this time with Paper Loft's "Dude" collection. My kits have sold out every month so far...it's very exciting! This is what the collection looks like...I'll be using a few of these papers in my kit!

Thank You Card

This is a card I made to thank the vet staff at Lacey Animal Clinic and Olympia Pet Emergency for caring for our dog, Midnight. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis, and thankfully is doing much better now!

Paper Crafts Submissions

I submitted these cards for Paper Crafts' latest call for submissions. It doesn't look like I got picked up this time, but there's always next time! :)

 

Graphic 45 Projects

Here are a few pictures of some projects I've made with Graphic 45 papers. My design style doesn't usually include vintage, but I'm experimenting and branching out a bit. Let me know what you think!

Bo Bunny Card Challenge - March 2

The latest Bo Bunny card challenge is based on the following sketch by Robyn Weatherspoon:

Here's my card, using "Sky" and "Vine" from the "Abbey Road" collection...

The flower accents are cut from the patterned paper. I punched the white accent border with a Martha Stewart punch.

PageMaps Card Contest

PageMaps is hosting a card contest ... the prize is a 6x6 paper pad of Sassafras's "Nerdy Bird"! The card I'm entering in the contest is based on the sketch below:

And here's my card! It was made with paper from 3 Bugs in a Rug's "Spread Your Wings" line...specifically the "In a Row" and "Little Red" paper. I used the scalloped border on the paper, and cut out a bird and a flower as accents. I folded the petals of the flower up to give it a little dimension and popped both the bird and the sentiment up with an adhesive foam square.

March Kit at Sharin' Memories

This is the kit I created for Sharin' Memories this month. It uses Cosmo Cricket's "Garden Variety" papers and chipboard embellishments. I also added a Jenni Bowlin journaling card. Each kit will get a random journaling card, random chipboard embellishments and flower combination. The border strip is pre-punched to thread the ribbon, which is also included.

Monthly Kit Update

Today I finished my third monthly kit for Sharin' Memories...My February kit sold out! This month's kit uses papers from Cosmo Cricket's "Garden Variety" line. I'll post a picture of it tomorrow!
