Two days in a row!

Another post! I really like how this card turned out. I cased this card here:

I recently purchased En Francais, and couldn't wait to try it out. I gave this card to my friend Astrid in a set of cards given as a hostess set. I'm definitely going to make this again.

A New Year and new commitment

I promised myself I was going to pay more attention to my blog this year! So far, I have failed miserably.

Before Christmas, my friend Michelle asked me to make her some cards. Here is one of the cards I created for her. I'm sure I got the idea off of splitcoast, but can't be certain. It was sometime ago. I know I get alot of ideas and inspiration from that website.

I love this Cherry Cobbler colour from Stampin' Up and I'm using this embossing folder quite a bit. It really adds something to the card.

I am in the process of making a calendar for my Aunt. I feel bad that January is half over and I haven't finished it for her yet. I'm almost there and hopefully she'll be able to use it for at least the last week in January. I'll share some pictures of it with you later.

Thanks for looking!

Not sure about this!

I really need to get better at posting on my blog. I religiously check out the blogs I have listed on my blog, but I'm not good at keeping up my own. I have been creating lots! Actually, last weekend I was on a crafting spree. I think that was the only good thing about last weekend. But that's another story. I probably don't tend to my blog as much as I should because I think there is only one or two people who actually follow it. I guess I should try to get it out there more. I'll have to think about that.

For today I have something I created, that I'm not sure if I like or not. I like some elements of it. I think I made poor colour choices. In any event here it is for your viewing enjoyment (or not so much!)

Off to enjoy some time with friends. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Stamping on Vellum

I really like how this card turned out. I created this from two cards I saw in Stamp It! Cards. The layout of the card from Valerie Stangle's card on page 23 and the stamped element from Jen del Muro's card on page 45. I should scan their cards so you can see it (I'll try to do remember to do that).

I have never stamped on vellum before, but I really like the overlay effect it created. The floral image was stamped in chocolate chip and kiwi kiss on white cardstock. The friends sentiment was stamped in chocolate chip on vellum and attached to the white cardstock with brads.

I am going to try to create this card in a standard size. This is 5x5, and I don't have an envelope to fit it.

By the way, it looks uneven simply because of the way it was scanned!

Prize for a Bridal Shower - Part 1

These are some cards I created for a prize at a bridal shower my Mom is having in May.
