Saw Birthday

I need a few male cards so I pulled out Tool Time stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps. The colors were made to fit last weeks Stamp TV color challenge. The base and mats for DP and saying is Basis Brown. The saying and saw are on Vellum Bristol Tan. The saw was stamped in versamark and than embossed in copper. The DP is SU. The buttons have Distress Stickles Vintage Photo. The scallop circle has Distress Stickles Walnut Stain. The sketch is from Cleary IStamp's Friday challenge.

Around the ship

I created this page for Erika's Jan release challenge for Gina K. These pictures are from a training that my husband and kids did on a ship this past summer. The base is Safari Brown Column. I just love this new paper. It has a great texture. This page is 12 x 12. The photos and block behind the title is Ponderosa Pine Linen. The DP is SU retired. I used some tool stamps from Clear Dollar Stamps for accents. The rope twine is from SU. I created the journal boxes on the computer and printed on Iridescent Croygen White. The title is SU chipboard and Distress Paint Peeled Paint & Distress Ink Peeled Paint.

Ok, if you are wondering why I posted 2 pictures of this page, there is one difference between the pages. The top page has cute little lifeguard and the bottom doesn't. I need to know which way you like the page. Should I put the little guy on or should I leave him off?

Graduation Page

I have finally started on the calenders I need to finish by Christmas. I used Clear Dollar Stamps and scraps for the paper. I used Erkia's sketch on Stamp TV for the layout.

Purple Set

I got a chance to take an online class with Erika Martin. If you ever have the chane, to take one of her classes. Do it. This purse was one of the projects. It was so easy to make following the directions. Erika has a picture for each step. She gives you all the directions in a pdf document so you can print the directions if you want.I just had to make a matching card to go with this cute purse. The puple swirl paper is digital paper that I printed on Sparkle Text to give the paper a beautiful shimmer.

This set also fufills Clear Dollar Stamps Weekend Color Challenge. This weekends challenge is to make a monochromatic card. This means to use 1 color. I choose purple because I have had this swirl paper printed for awhile waiting to be used.
Latisha has a wonderful video on Flourishes Blog showing how she ties her bows. Now I know how to make beautiful bows.
