Chocolate Snowman

I made this fun Christmas card for my mom to give away to her office-mates. She liked the first on that I made so I ended up making a couple more. It's a lot of distressing and my fingers ended up brown after every one of the cards got finished.

Supplies:
CB embossing folder "Scrollwork"
Spellbinders Classic Oval & Scalloped Oval Dies
Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink
A Cute Snowman Stamp (about 3")
Brown Flowers
Sheer Ribbon
Coco CS

G-G-G-Golfing






This album is intended for my older brother John-the golf enthusiast. He golfs like every day of his life. No matter the weather. As long as the courses are open. The boy went to Texas to go golfing. And yet...the only picture that I have of him golfing is from the newspaper when he won some tournament in Menomonie or something. So...it has yet to be filled due to lack of pictures to fill it with.

Travel Album



I recently went to Chicago with a couple of friends and got this really great idea to make an album for them with g45 paper. It's all distressed and "old-looking" says my friend who couldn't believe when she saw that it was done that I had just made this, and it hadn't been sitting around for years aging in the attic. I've been trying to introduce her to card making but she just won't take to the techniques.

Anyway...the book turned out super cute I think and is really fitting for everything that we did. I <3 G45 for that versatility.
There's a travel section...
A "sights" section...
A shopping section...
And a BEACH section...


See?
Supercute!

Oh! Baby


These cards were made because I found some scraps of baby paper in my stash and I just got  my Cuttlebug and needed to try out the little embossing squares that came with it.
Along with the CB  baby carriage and baby paper scraps, I used Light Spring Green CS, CB embossing Folder "Swiss Dots", and Spellbinders Labels One or Spellbinders Scalloped Squares and scrap ribbon (cream/white).
