A few more brights

I used some retired polka dot ribbon in this one, but anything could be used. My resolotion this year it to "use what I have." I am going to use supplies and quit hording. I did this not only in my craft room but in my kitchen this new year. 

Thanks to Marie for loaing me her Ott Light and for Becky Robert's input on how to take better pics for blog posting. The pics from this week were just taken using the better light and my digital camera on "automatic" setting. I am going to be making a few more pretties today and tomorrow. I am hoping to get some input from hubby on using different settings on my camera to take even better pics.

Happy New Year!!!

a few brights to cheer up these gray days

Loving this new paper pack from SU! It is sold in a pad of 4x6" precut pieces--double sided, of course.
Fresh Prints DSP $6.95. 48 sheets double sided with 12 patterns.

This one I used an image from the stamp set Seasonal Sayings.

Love the scalloped edge I got by using the large scallop Edgelit. 

Don't forget Sale-A-Bration starts this week!!

Happy New Year!!!

I am finally back in the groove of things after the holidays and then having the flu for over a week. Yippee!!
I was able to spend half a day in my craft room last weekend creating cards for my friend Becky to sell at cute little coffee shop called the Meet Shop, Too in Garfield, WA

I got a couple new things from the new Occasions mini catalog before the holidays. I love the colors of the new designer series paper stack. They match my craft room!  

FRESH PRINTS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER STACK 

Price: $6.95

Here are some of the cards I made (please excuse the poor quality, I scanned them while they were in the clear envelopes. Bad idea, but I was in a hurry.)

weekend with crafty friends

I made an art canvas collage with my friends this weekend at the Palouse Divide Lodge. I used mostly SU supplies. I can't figure out how to make the eyes, so I skipped 'em. Now that I see it on screen I am contemplating a bit more glitter. 

Keep watching for more projects from this weekend. . . .

A few more Halloween Cards

These cards are using mostly the Witches Brew DSP from the SU Holiday catalog. 

Lovely Soft Sky

Love this color. It used to be an old In Color, long since gone. They brought it back to be one of the core colors for SU. Yippeee!!! I love a good light blue. 

This verse image is one of the new polymer stamps SU is slowly bringing into their inventory. They just have a few sets. They are clear and very sticky. Totally clear, so when you ink them--you see everything! Loved using them for the first time a week or so ago. 

Birthday Basics

Love the colors of the Birthday Basics DSP: Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe, Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, and Very Vanilla. The verse is discontinued from last year's catalog, but it fit perfectly in this Apothecary Accents framelit.
