Laugh


Wanted to try a new technique today so I made this card using the Manila Resist technique - another card I will teach in Feb I think. Uses a set called Endless Love and the Friends Word Puzzle Set. Instead of using cardstock you use a manila folder to do the resist on which creates the yellow look to the background. Could do the same with a cardstock of this color though I would think but then maybe the re-inker wouldn't brush on as it does with the manila. Guess it would depend on the cardstock. I wouldn't use this technique in a scrapbook though if I used a manila folder as they aren't archival.
I added the window charms to give some dimension and depth to the card.

Heart Pocket Card

Hearts don't always have to be Valentines and this is a card you would send to someone who needs a pick you up.
I will teach this card in February as I just love the ease of making the pocket. The template can be found at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=315128

The sentiment reads - Be glad if of life because it gives you the chance to love, and to play, and to look at the stars.

Serendipity Album

CTMH has a special this month for a really cute stamp set with matching papers. I loved it when I saw it and now I've used I love it even more. Here's my first project using it. I used the CTMH 9 by 9 Reflections program to help design the pages which makes it really easy!

Love is in the Air.......


Another Love Card - this time I'm using Pure Love C1270 from CTMH. This is my first try at a new technique for me and I'm not sure I'm in love with the results. May have to try again with a little less paint. Thought I would share the starter for 10 and maybe today I will make another and see if it looks better with less paint.

Enjoy

Happy Easter



Yes - I know its early but well I've moved on again. From Valentine now to Easter what will you do with me. This is a sample of a flip flap fold which I will be teaching in January to my clubs. Love the card and I like how the liquid glass just adds some gloss.
Colors are sweet leaf, chocolate, spring iris and buttercup.

In My Heart


This is one of my projects for December. I've finally moved on from Christmas and now onto the next holiday for me. This is made using a laughing cow cheese cow box which is painted and then decorated. Just fill it with heart candy and give it to the one you love!
