Uploading Soon

I hope to be posting more cards here soon. I am still having some issues because of a lightning storm that destroyed a lot of our electronics! Thanks for looking and posting comments. They are greatly appreciated! I have been working with the shabby chic look and have made several cards. I plan to get these uploaded as soon as possible. Keep cool!!!!!!! Been extremely hot here!

Cuttlebug Acetate Challenge

Here is my cuttlebug challenge card for this week. We were to use acetate on our card along with something cuttlebugged! The window on my card is acetate colored with alcohol inks. The frame is a Disney cuttlebug folder and die. The flowers along the bottom of the frame is a cuttlebug border. The birds are from Inkadinkado. This was a fun challenge. I have not used acetate for a long time, so it was fun to pull out something old to use again.

Posh Dry Embossing Challenge

Hi Everyone! I am glad to be back online. Last Friday, lightning fried our computer, several TVs and other things.  We just got things up and running again. Glad we are safe and that the house didn't burn down! Anyway, here is a card I just entered in the club Posh dry embossing challenge. We were to use dry embossing on our card. I used the paisley cuttlebug folder for my dry embossing. The frame is a nestibily and the bird image is from Inkadinkado.

After Summer Haven Challenge

Here are some more cards I have done with RAKs from the Summer Haven Challenges. I used cardstock ( green and purple ) the metal leaves, and the coaster that I was given. Thanks to the thoughtful ladies who passed these items along to me.

Cuttlebug Challenge -- Sympathy Card

Here is my sympathy card for the cuttlebug challenge this week. I used the textile folder, and Labels Four  nestibilities to cut out the window. The flower stamp is from Inkadinkado. I made the little medallion using a Martha Stewart corner loop punch.

Tag Challenge -- Distress Inks

I joined another Posh challenge this week. The challenge is to make a tag by itself or on a card or scrapbook page, using distress inks. For the background of this tag I patted 4 colors of the distress inks on a craft sheet, spritzed the colors with water and then laid my tag on the colors and smooshed it around a bit. I love the background that this technique makes.

Tattered Angel

It is always fun to have stamping friends over to play. I had 2 good friends to come over yesterday and I got to play with a new set of stamps from Tattered Angels. These are gorgeous stamps and they also have stencils to go along with them. On the first card I sponged color over the stencils for the background and on the other cards I sprayed Adirondack color wash over them. I love techniques, so this was a lot of fun for me.
