Season's Greetings
A nice little card using the G.C.D. Studios papers.
A close-up of the centers of the poinsettia.MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2008
Running page
I tend to have a lot of running sports pages in my albums because one son runs in Track and Cross Country. It isn't easy coming up with a new design for pictures that tend to look the same. With all the words in the background paper and the business of the photos, I used some plain papers to bring the focus back to the pictures.SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2008

Pretty papers
I just fell in love with this paper from G.C.D. Studios. The colors are awesome and they are double sided so for cards and pages you can find your coordinating pieces right on the back!MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2008
with love
I love playing with my CUTTLEBUG.....as if you couldn't guess this!
I used a little ink on my CUTTLEBUG embossing folder to get the ink look on the title. Did I mention I LOVED playing with my CUTTLEBUG tools?

Pumpkin colors
I love this paper from REMINISCE. The colors are so fresh looking.
And it has a bit of shimmer to it, like an iridescent foil, and it works great in the CUTTLEBUGSATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2008
Happy Birthday Card
I was checking out the Splitcoast Stampers website and came across a sketch challenge. The cards they had there were SO pretty! I just had to make one myself.FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2008
Cute stamps
I love a cute stamp...and this little giraffe is ADORABLE!
The scribbles on the dotted paper are actually part of the design and not my own mess....but it could be...hehehe
These cute papers would make a great birthday card and the ribbons from Pebbles are so vibrant, they add a lot to a project.
And look, no CUTTLEBUG usage this time!...lol

Back to School
The papers from the REMINISCE School line is great for keeping those year by year photos in place. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2008
Cosmo Cricket and T!M HOLTZ
A quick page using the new goodies from T!M HOLTZ. Love those gears and bits and pieces. Plus the quote from the Stampers Anonymous line was perfect! FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2008

Spooky....is more like it!
So, a little Christmas and now a little Halloween/Fall....
The background paper for this card is a Basic Grey paper that has some black distressing lines already in it, so I tried something different with the CUTTLEBUG. Instead of sanding the raised image to give it a distressed look, I INKED the EMBOSSING FOLDER and then ran my paper through. Make sure your ink is a water soluble one and NOT a craft ink. After the paper is pulled out I ran my embossing folder under running water and set aside, with it open, to dry. I did the same technique with the pumpkin image too.

Celebrate Christmas.....
A little early...but not really!
I am already planning my Christmas cards...I know I won't have time to do it when the season rolls around so I am thinking of all the possibilities for great cards NOW!

Wedding/Annniversary
I did this card a while ago using the metallic cardstock and CUTTLEBUG leaf dies. I wanted to prove to myself that a leaf can be used for things other than a FALL card...and I think I did it.
Paper Cut Metallic cardstock (card) and text weight papers (for the leaves)
Offray ribbon
I put a little crease in the middle of the leaf, really lightly, and adhere the leaves to the front of a card with a little double sided tape on that crease. With the slight fold it makes it look like they are floating on the card under the ribbon.
