Happy St Patrick's Day

I used punches on this card. For this month's facebook card swap, the theme is St. Patrick's Day.

For the pot of gold, I used the ornament punch, picture corner punch, small oval punch, and small circle punch. I layered the ornament on the small picture corner. I then placed three circles over the ornament handle. I then placed half of an oval to look like the lid of the pot. Finally, I used the slot punch and ran a ribbon through it.

I used a Martha Stewart Clover punch to get the clovers.

I embossed the sentiment on whisper white and then sponged the green inks. And tore the paper.

Old Calendar

So I had an old calendar I got Rob for Christmas several years ago. I found it a few months ago when we were cleaning things getting ready for selling our home. I thought I could use the pictures for something. One of March's themes on our FB Monthly Card Swap is Boy Birthday Cards. I pulled out the old Marvel calendar and picked pictures that would fit on a card.

I had some clear acrylic stamps that had comic book words so I stamped them in Real Red, Brilliant Blue, Garden Green, and Yo Yo Yellow on to Whisper White Cardstock. I then stamped Happy Birthday in StayzOn Jet Black on whisper White and punched out the sentiment with various punches. I tried to match the card color with the picture color. I think I did a pretty good job.

I Am...

This is the first page of my scrapbook for our scrapbook challenge. The first page's challenge was to use 10 words that describe myself. I chose to hand write the words since I did not have stamps for all the words and the stamps I did have were various things and I wanted this page to be somewhat uniform.

I used my circle cutter to cut the yellow circle and then my picture corner punch to make the rays on the sun. I used brown paper as a background for the words and sponged brown on the white to make it look like plaques...

Looking forward to the next page

Who Are You?

COMING SOON!

Scrapbook Challenge

My sister and I have come up with a challenge. We are going to create scrapbooks. The theme is "I Am". The first page, we will use 10 words to describe us. On the following pages, we use one word and decorate the page to compliment the word.

I will start this weekend!

Updates after I finish each page!
