So...its been a while!

Hello, my poor neglected blog.

Yes, it's been a while.  Life happens...and my cardmaking has taken a back seat.

But I'm working my way back.  :)



 

Here's a quick card I recently sent to Julia in university.  Patterned paper, SRM heart sticker, glitter alpha stickers and a tag.  Done.

Hope to be more prolific in future creations.  :)

Season's Greetings/Happy Holidays

Hello.

Here's today's card. 

All products are from my stash.  The background is a gorgeous vellum that I wish I could find again, it's just perfect for Christmas cards.  Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

As the season gets into high gear, the pretty packages are ready to mail.

These are on their way to two very special friends.   Inspiration came from Pinterest.
The embossed kraft bag is from SRM Stickers here.  Sentiment is also from SRM here.  The ribbon, label punch and stamp are from Stampin' UP!. I dug out the old chalks(which I haven't used for ages) to distress the doilies.
I'm entering this into Virginia's View Challenge # 10, the theme this month is distressing.

Thanks so much for dropping by today.

Happy Graduation!

Along with everything else that I'm late with this summer, I am very late with a special graduation card for my girl...a high school graduate!

So I was very happy to come across the July challenge at SRM stickers, and right there was the sketch that inspired me.

I was equally as happy to see that Simon Says Stamps' Wednesday challenge is to emboss it!!

I used Dots and Clockworks Cuttlebug embossing folders, Making Memories glittered stars, and SRM Graduation Stickers by the Dozen.  I brushed the cardstock with Platinum Planet Brilliance ink pad for some added shimmer.

Thanks for dropping by today.  There's still time to join in on the SRM challenge (there are prizes!), go check it out.
