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).

Happy Halloween

Spooky, huh?

This mini card was made using My Mind's Eye Halloween paper, metallic brads, twine, and Recollections Skeleton Head Stickers. 

The inside says "Happy Halloween".

Debutante

I have no idea where I got any of the things used in this card. It all came out of my stash. But it was fun to make and I don't know what it will be for but the chandelier paper is shimmery!

Elsiebelle

Need a card to give a little girl? For a birthday? Any day? This would be perfect.

For my brother

Using Graphic 45 paper (A Perfect Gentleman's Collection), I made this simple card with the intention of giving it to my older brother who is an avid gold enthusiast. It never made it to him even though I got it done before his birthday. I guess I'll save it for next year.

Fab 5 in July

This card was made for the Fab 5 (Plus 1) in July at Picture This when our product theme was Spellbinders Pendants. I used the pendants for the flowers, a CB embossing piece for the champagne glasses from the wedding set, and the CB embossing folder from the Combo Damask Frame for the background. I distressed all of the edges and the champagne glasses.

The second card was for a Make-n-Take in July. I also used the CB Combo Damask Frame for this card. I embossed the red piece of cardstock with the embossing folder from this set. I used Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Ovals, nested, for the middle of the card. The flower on top of the card is the die that was included in the CB Combo set. The blue background paper is My Minds Eye.

Time

The Hero Arts Trunk Show is coming to Picture This! Both of these cards are samples for the trunk show; the clock stamp on both is Hero Arts. For the first one, I made a Christmas themed card that reads "As another year flies by..." "Take time to be with the ones you love" "Merry Christmas." I used red and cream CS, "Jovial" Basic Gray striped paper, "Walnut Stain" and "Vintage Photo" Distress Inks, two pearls, red and white striped ribbon, and the Clock Hero Arts Stamp along with those 3 saying stamps.
For the second card I used "light chocolate malt" CS, "Capella" Basic Gray Paper, twine, Distress Ink, the clock "Hero Arts" stamp, and another stamp saying "take time to be with the ones you love" for the inside.
