After almost three weeks we are back to our bi-weekly card club gatherings. This weeks theme was Thinking of You. Starting off with the far left card in the center. This card was designed by Sue M. Next in top center card was designed by Marilyn. Then we have Sue R. in the top right corner. To the bottom center card was designed by Terry and the bottom right card was done by Gloria. Some very bright and vibrant colors were presented this week and all just turned out lovely. This was another great weeks of card designing. Tune in next time when our theme is: Birthday!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736849909216752817.post-23632010085997382372009-06-26T11:42:00.000-04:002009-06-26T11:43:20.744-04:00Great News!Jim and I got engaged yesterday!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736849909216752817.post-70408881509612089862009-06-19T08:54:00.003-04:002009-06-19T09:05:26.846-04:00Card Club June 18, 2009 - Theme: Anything<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3L82yHSVQgvED1fJKCMx35z9lDueSMEKrxqmmaYfq_cAegxISjKWxe2AaGgCCGZ82yCMJlu5L79pXMNvkcVjI4I8FQlcO1pA6ojykYAqqn_h_9HQbo_yNwhQOe1zPhwaL0Gy-7iDkYZo-/s1600-h/CardClub6_18+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3L82yHSVQgvED1fJKCMx35z9lDueSMEKrxqmmaYfq_cAegxISjKWxe2AaGgCCGZ82yCMJlu5L79pXMNvkcVjI4I8FQlcO1pA6ojykYAqqn_h_9HQbo_yNwhQOe1zPhwaL0Gy-7iDkYZo-/s200/CardClub6_18+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349022024617451314" border="0" /></a>Good Morning and Happy Friday. Last night was card club and our theme was anything. We did some great new techniques last night that I think everyone enjoyed. Sue R. created this cute little owl (top left) by using the top notch die cut and a number of other punches. Marilyn created this colorful flowering card (top right). We used colored pencils and embellished with some dimensional flowers. Terry created this very cool origami shirt (bottom left). We all got the chance to use the Scor-pal and try out the art of paper folding. the deign was finished off with some coordinating buttons. Sue M. created this red, white and blue card (bottom center) - Fourth of July if just around the corner and is perfect for any type of patriotic event/need. Gloria created this s'mores birthday card (bottom right). We used prismacolor pencils and gamsol on this one to created some great colored effects on the stamped images. Well folks, that's all for now. Hope you have a great day.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736849909216752817.post-6766626765729933352009-06-17T09:30:00.002-04:002009-06-17T09:35:00.931-04:00Happy Bird-Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KgTIShX7uG_9iEUUDwBqBYOkr7Xmv75Hhz132murNsxnmmJGvKE1ljf6_5gOxlI0cFyUCN4Vw49TAPuoTLSV5GkBEz3HeaIrRs36DFDsB9UDqd_amhUg751irucvthk6M3y_RQAe3gGu/s1600-h/HappyBirdDay.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 107px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KgTIShX7uG_9iEUUDwBqBYOkr7Xmv75Hhz132murNsxnmmJGvKE1ljf6_5gOxlI0cFyUCN4Vw49TAPuoTLSV5GkBEz3HeaIrRs36DFDsB9UDqd_amhUg751irucvthk6M3y_RQAe3gGu/s200/HappyBirdDay.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348288597883932674" border="0" /></a>Today's card is inspired by a card done over at <a href="http://morepaperplease.blogspot.com/">More Paper Please</a>. I really toned down the card a lot as I thought it was super busy and wanted the focus to be the cute little birds. I created the birds in Illustrator and exported the file to my Silhouette cutter. I think I spent about 3 hours just assembling the birds. Very happy with this one. It will also serve as a card for a birthday coming up this weekend for my boyfriends mother. I think she'll like it. Saturday we leave for the beach in North Carolina and then to Pennsylvania so I'll be gone for two weeks so needless to say I won't be posting much if anything :-( At any rate happy Wednesday folks!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736849909216752817.post-46151158938330804042009-06-16T18:27:00.002-04:002009-06-16T18:30:08.039-04:00Tote Bag<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_NJmA1uMVnk67KP3Ru9gUdvedaZ9grVLH-Y5aJ-N4xHdfPeNNfEmG3jFDsy5wMhKaTKxda6M-w9hlUGDooVSzGBbfC8MfLx8tGkqp55EIKV9LP_VvQ2tZsWZeMpFY0bzY7TTC-AfgB3LV/s1600-h/Tote+bag.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_NJmA1uMVnk67KP3Ru9gUdvedaZ9grVLH-Y5aJ-N4xHdfPeNNfEmG3jFDsy5wMhKaTKxda6M-w9hlUGDooVSzGBbfC8MfLx8tGkqp55EIKV9LP_VvQ2tZsWZeMpFY0bzY7TTC-AfgB3LV/s200/Tote+bag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348056335602447906" border="0" /></a>Hello. Today, I spent the bulk of the creating this little beauty. I just love it. This is my very first handmade tote bag. Sure there were a few oops with the sewing of it but I don't think anyone can tell unless I pointed them out. So, should I make it again at least I know what NOT to do. I really like the colors a lot and think the dragonfly button set was perfect for the outside pocket.

I turned this on into a slider card the little dog bone will slide from side to side. This is created using two pennies mounted with some foam adhesive. I also used my Versamark marker to make the little watermark paw prints in the background. The entire front of the card was mounted with foam dimensional to allow the slider to move. This card is also part of the challenge on <a href="http://kitchensinkstamps.blogspot.com/">Kitchen Sink Stamps</a>, we are to decorate the corners and I think this fits that challenge perfectly.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736849909216752817.post-81049863979097831992009-06-08T11:38:00.002-04:002009-06-08T11:40:06.618-04:00Coffee Break Scrapbook Page<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3HljRsEA2lbCrNXEScEwaixdOBXQFJrbtodc2LcXOFVuY5H8mjR4X2FCjwy5KMiLP3xe4uY1h2IEVHOglBrCL7-WqVyFNsXzY8lHpMYiZxc8cxjFm-U3XbtywjF7oX2ZUM8lkNa80QlF/s1600-h/JimCoffeeBreak.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3HljRsEA2lbCrNXEScEwaixdOBXQFJrbtodc2LcXOFVuY5H8mjR4X2FCjwy5KMiLP3xe4uY1h2IEVHOglBrCL7-WqVyFNsXzY8lHpMYiZxc8cxjFm-U3XbtywjF7oX2ZUM8lkNa80QlF/s200/JimCoffeeBreak.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344981671314111266" border="0" /></a>Today, I recycled some of old newspaper for background artwork for this page.

Here is what we all came up with. (Top left) Sue created, she designed it to be done using some really cool graduation ribbon in a criss-cross pattern we then finished it off with two stamped images that we punched out. (Top right) Terry created this one which had lots of embossing and cutting. We used the Nestabilities to cut out and emboss the oval and scallop. This was a challenge in and of itself, lol. (Bottom left) Sue designed this card which had a good bit of heat embossing. The card was then finished off a paper crimped band and brad. (Bottom center) Sue created this one using lots of layers. The design was finished off with some stars to pull the two colors together for this final card. (Bottom right) Gloria created, the black part was embossed with the Cuttlebug and then finished off with some square brads that we turned end to end.

Today's card is for my submission for the <span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><a href="http://kitchensinkstamps.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-ks-crew-challenge-kss-mystery-box.html">KS Crew Monday Challenge #14</a>.</span></span></span></span> The idea is to "Go Green" by using something you may have normally thrown in the trash for a craft project. My item that I reused was aluminum foil. I ran the foil through a Cuttlebug folder with embossing ink inside so it would have a "sticky" surface for me to apply the embossing powder after I took out of the Cuttlebug. The foil took the embossing powder and heat rather well. Actually better than I thought it would. The only problem was the foil is very thin and can rip in places. But, overall I like the technique. Not sure if I created a new technique or not but it's not something I've read about.
