Hi everyone,
Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!
Today's card is another direct to card inked and stamped creation. Yet, it's stepped up a notch with the addition of some unbranded letter dies...
Created for Jim and Jill's anniversary, the letters were cut out from off cuts from their mini wrap journals. As you can see, I changed up the colors and ink a bit for his by using my NBUS Distress Oxies. The card background is a piece of unstamped lavender over Tumbled Glass Oxied card.
Card: Unbranded white, lavender and linen card
Ink: Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord and Antique Linen Distress Inks
Stamp sets: SU's Timeless Textures
Tools and embellishments: Birch Press Delfina Layer Dies, Unbranded letter dies, and Glossy Accents
Challenges...
AG at TTCRD
#380 Any Holiday (anniversary) at HIMCR
#11 AG at Crafter's Castle
I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

Mini Wrap Journal
Hi everyone,
Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!
Today's project was created using more of the direct to paper inked and stamped background card I used to create last weeks cards. But, as you can see, I didn't stop there! Oh no, using the same stamp from SU's Timeless Textures set, I skipped the first step and randomly stamped 5 sheets of lavender card on both sides to create the journal pages.
To create the front cover, I inked both sides of the white card. But only stamped one because I wanted the die cut piece to stand out...
I didn't think about creating a pictorial at the time, but love the style and will try to remember to document it when I create a few more. In the meantime, to see how the journal was created, hop over to YouTube and search Mini Wrap Journal for instructions.
Card: Unbranded white and lavender
Ink: Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord Distress Inks
Stamp sets: SU's Timeless Textures
Tools and embellishments: Birch Press Delfina Layer die
Challenges...
#339 Use Snippets at Pixie's Snippets Playground (large snippet used for front die detail)
AG at TTCRD
#378 Super Scraps Saturday at HIMCR (large scrap used for front die detail)
I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

Monochromatic Christmas
Hi everyone,
Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!
Today's card is one of five identical ones which have been sitting, unphotographed, on my desk for a couple months. And yep, they are the only Christmas cards I've created so far. Eeek!
That said, they are appropriate for a job application, I hope! The amazingly talented Mynn of On A Stampage and other sites, has started a new challenge blog, Rainbow Card Challenge and is currently holding a Design Team Call...
As per the DT Call request, my style is mostly CAS. I love white space, and you could say this card is CAS, but with the white and color flipped? I would love to join the new team, not least because it would be my third such team led by Mynn. She's a precious friend and I love her creativity.
Hopefully that doesn't sound too suck up, and if it does, I'll try to distract you with the card recipe...
Card: SU whisper white base and snippets, and Tonic's Denim Ripple specialty card
Ink: VersaMark (although it might not be obvious the dies are all cut from glitter embossing powered card)
Tools and embellishments: SU's Star of Light thinlits, and X-Cut Merry & Bright dies, WOW clear sparkle embossing powder, and unbranded rhinestones
Challenges...
#214 AG at 613 Avenue Create
#427 Christmas at 4 Crafty Chicks
AG at TTCRD
I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then. In the meantime, please wish me luck?
