Good to be back!

It has been a while since I have been on here. I took a break because honestly I felt like this blog was not reaching people like I hoped it would. I wanted to inspire people to make hand made cards to give to their loved ones and to capture those memories and tell the story through scrapbooking. I am going to try again so please if you stop by and take the time to look or read, please leave a comment and let me know that you were here and share your thoughts, needs and your victories. Something brought you here in the first place so please take a moment to say hi or just share. Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Stamped cards

Here are three cards I made by just stamping the images. I hope you enjoy them!

Cards with Scholastic paper

Happy Thursday! These cards are made with Close To My Heart Scholastic paper packet. With this packet I tried to think out of the box in making these because I know that not everyone has children or their children are no longer in school. I hope that you enjoy and are inspired! As always if you have any questions I am happy to answer them! 

Bend it, Curve it and Stamp it video

This is one of the many reasons why I love Close To My Heart!

Mojo Monday card

Good Monday my friends! Okay, so this is my Mojo Monday challenge card. If you are not familiar hop on over and check it out! So I made this with our Flirty paper. The color of inks I used were New England Ivy, Goldrush, Bamboo. I hope you enjoy and are inspired and will do the Mojo challenge also!

Summer Mini Album

So this is what we had for dinner last night and there are two boxes. 

 I cut the pages 6x6.

 Where the pictures are I found that I needed to sand it so that the glue would spread instead of pooling in one place.

 For the holes to bind it I measured in half and inch and up from the bottom and inch and down from the top an inch.

 I soon realized that my normal punch was not going to get the job done so I head to Hobby Lobby to see what I could come up with and my choice was a leather punch set and it works wonderfully and the price was right at $5.99.

 In this picture I am trying to show the detail of what I am calling my sand. I sanded the paper and sprayed with a mixture of re-inker and water.

 On the sun I stamped it twice in two different colors Creme Brulee and Goldrush and then ink distressed around the edges with sunset and on top with a sponge.

This is my finished, well almost finished, I just need to add the pictures and the embellishments on the pages.

The paper that I used is Footloose, Sweet Leaf, and Creme Brulee.

I hope you enjoy and make one of these for yourself! If you have any questions I am happy to answer them!

I will certainly post pictures of pages when I get them filled and finished.

Vintage Crusin' card

This is just one of the cards that my workshops are going to be doing this month. My goal is to do more masculine cards for my workshops and well for myself too.

I really like this card I think it has a vintage feel to it and lets face it what guy doesn't like old cars.

To make this card I used the Cruisin' paper packet, Grey wool card stock, black card stock and the stamp from the workshop on the go.

I hope that you are inspired and you create your own vintage cruisin' card for the guy/s in your life!
