Best EVER

I just adore this paper. The elephants are so cute and the gold ones are shiny!

Hugs

Here's a fun card with some pretty Teresa Collins paper. I love how some of the elephants are shiny. I used some gold American Crafts brads to match and a Hero Arts sentiment. 

Penguin Thanks

Isn't this Memory Box penguin cute? He'd make a great thank you card for children to send as a thanks for a holiday gift. Remember when we had to write them? I had to do it the day after Christmas before I could do anything else! I hated it back then, but I can see now what an important lesson I was learning.

The image and Inkadinkado sentiment are stamped with Memento Tuxedo black on white card stock then layered with black. The red and blue are Bazzill and the patterned paper is Teresa Collins. The circles are done with Nestabilities. I did the blue first, thinking it would reflect water, but I ended up liking the red one better.

Thinking of You

Here's a bright card for you. I rarely use yellows but these were in my scraps and were begging to be used!

I started with the yellow SU papers and found some pretty Teresa Collins dots to go with it. Then I found OWH sketch 11 that would work with the sizes of scraps I had handy. A bit of trimming and layering and I was all set. The sentiment and punches are SU.

 

Do you have colors you rarely use on your cards?

You are SO funny!

Today I have three more cards from my scraps. They all follow OWH sketch 20 and use the same papers. The polka dots are Teresa Collins Welcome Home and the yellow is Stampin' Up! DSP. For the sentiment, I used a Studio G stamp and the flip flops are from K&Company. The cardstock is all Bazzill.

 

 

Enjoy your weekend!

OWH sketches 150 & 151

Today I have the last two sketches for 2012, at least the last ones I could get done before my craft area became our Christmas tree area!

I used my Stampin' Up! I Dig You set for the first time to make this card for sketch 150. I like how the Teresa Collins polka a dot paper gives it a more girlish feel. After all, girls can like trucks, too. The brown paper is Bazzill and Nesties were used for the circles.

 

This one is sketch 151. The red paper is Bazzill and the black/white pattern is Femme Fatale by Recollections. The black and white circles were done with Nesties. I used red and black rhinestones from Michaels for the bling.

 

 

Do you have any crafty resolutions for the new year?
