More, more, more…
Before I forget (again)… the winners of the brads are Olivia and Gretchyn! I emailed you both to get your addresses.
Next up, here are some cards I did today while Colin was doing the same. (He likes doing art stuff – it is the only way he is like me – he is totally like his dad every other way.) I just grabbed some scraps that I had collected over the last week, including some extra stamped pieces, embossed pieces, etc. (I keep these "nicer" scraps in a little basket to use whenever I am too lazy to create new pieces for cards. Ha.) Here are the things I came up with.
This first one is using scraps from the card I did yesterday. (Which, I realized, I think I broke one of Kristina's challenge rules: I used dark brown for the greeting, but that that isn't in the color combo. Opps.) I love these stamps that Dawn created!
Supplies: Papertrey Ink Stamps (greeting and umbrella), Hero Arts (stamp, notecard and pearls), Making Memories paper (ledger 8×8 paper), October Afternoon paper (patterned teal), Quickutz embossing folder (on the top teal piece – hard to see), SEI paper (dotted teal), EK Success foam adhesive, corner rounder, Memories Black Inkm string
Here is another use-up-some-good-scraps card. (Click HERE to watch a video showing the technique on the hearts.)
Supplies: Papertrey Ink Stamp (greeting), Hero Arts stamps (background and on hearts), Hero Arts gems (which appear to not be put on completely), Quickutz embossing folder, EK Success foam adhesive, corner rounder, Distress Inks, Fiskars heart punch

OH MY. 🙂
I have been spending a lot of time planting. And buying more and more plants. Anyone else planting? Tell me what you like – I am always looking for new flowers to try. I like lots of color. Here are two of my many different clematis (the flowers are bigger than my open hand) and a new hanging pot…
Night! See you tomorrow…
