Cathedral

This is a picture that was taken in downtown Eau Claire. It's a beautiful building and I think works great as  a sympathy card or something religious like baptism, Easter, or communion.

Feeling Squirrelly

I love the fact that the birch tree in this squirrel picture looks just like the birch bark paper I used for the background. Most of all I just love this squirrel. He takes the show for the whole card. You could add a sentiment inside: Feeling nutty? Aw, nuts I forgot your birthday. Feeling squirrelly?

Supplies:
McRice Birchbark paper
McRice Eau Claire Montage
Lawn Fawn Stitches Journaling Card die set
The Twinery black and white twine

Grassy Cow

Here's another card made with the exclusive paper from McRice only available at Picture This. I used the picture that was the epitome of Wisconsin: a Holstein cow.

So a couple of months ago Picture This received exclusive paper from McRice papers. We are the only store that will ever carry it and it was a one time print. The paper is one of McRice's Medley papers with photos taken by the girls from PT: the PT Posse. Its compiled of all local pictures. Downtown, the zoo, farms, etc. Here's one of the cards that I made with our exclusive paper.

I love it when I can finish off a piece of paper that previously I had no idea how I was going to use it up. And in this case, all that digging I did last weekend in my project bags helped me clear out a little more than just my Christmas stock pile. Many of the pieces on this page are from a MME Olala line package that I bought last summer I think...

Supplies:

Background is MME Olala paper
The mount for the pictures on left are Pink Paislee Neighborhood Pool
The pictures are from a McRice paper medley
There's some bling from Zva
Everything else on the page is from the MME Olala line tags sheet

Grass

I should probably get a lawn mower so I can cut my grass now that I think of it...

Supplies: McRice "Out West" Medley, MME Miss Caroline paper, MFT Dienamics Fresh Cut Grass die

HONEY. .. .

This was a birthday card for my honey Shane.



I used the McRice Medley Out West (the bear), MME miss caroline collection for the background, Judith stub stamp for the honey  jar, and Copic markers to color it in.

There's a show on Comedy Central called "Workaholics" the loves and one episode there were bear puns on the show. The inside of the card highlights one of those puns.

(If you're interested in the pun, here's a link to that episode but viewer discretion is advised.)
