Day 7

I love this big eyed owl.  Him and the sentiment are Unity stamps.  The dots are Stamps of Life.

Day 6

This was fun.  I made a card some time ago with this same lace and paper, so thought I would play with the elements and see what I could come up with.  It looks totally different from the original.  I did another that I will be posting later that looks different still from this one.  The stamps are Unity, flowers are from Oriental Trading. 

It's the first time I've used these stamps, aren't they cute?  I love the little birds and ddin't even realize they were there when I bought the set.

All black is heat embossed.  The background stamp for the flower is not Unity, but CTMH,

Day 5

Another tri-shutter card.  I actually took this one apart after the first attempt.  I did the outsides one night and then came back to do the side pieces, and used a stamp from Stampers Anonymous and the style really didn't match the rest of the card.  So I took them off and started over again.  I'll know not to change styles in between.  I left the inking on the sentiment and probably should have changed it too, but I didn't.

I have only used the black embossing powder a couple times but really like it.

I liked the chipboard flower but felt that it needed something to make it pop.

Papers, stamps and chipboard are CTMH.

Day 4

I have a really hard time photographing these tri shutter cards.  They take a long time to make, but are a lot of fun to do.

Paper and quote on right are CTMH.  Bird stamp and center quote are Stampes Anonymous.  White heat embossing on pink.  Chipboard is inked.  Paper strips in the middle are ink masked.  Tutorial for tri shutter card is on Splitcoast Stampers site.

Day 3

I made it three days!  I had the worst time though, kept loosing stuff.  Lost the border punch.  Searched all over and couldn't find it.  Had to clean off my table and still didn't find it.  Dave wondered in and helped.  He said, "look on the floor."  Sure enough, it had fallen on the floor. When all else fails... look on the floor! 

Flower image is Unity.  Buttons CTMH. 

Day Two

Unity flower stamp, sentiment Close to My Heart, Flourish Tim Holtz Grungeboard element.  Cuddlebug background and border.  Martha Stewart glitter.  This is going to be fun, hope I can keep up with it.

Happy and Blessed New Year!

Twenty ten, Two thousand ten, just plain 10. How will you say it?  It all sounds pretty foreign to me.  For someone born in 1946, it doesn't hardly seem possible, does it? Yep, we're here, and I'm actually admitting how old I am??  Now, that is a revelation!  Well, on with the new Year, and I hope that everyone has many blessings to count for the old one, and things to look forward to in the new one!

I am going to make a bold resolution, and hope that I can live up to it.  I am going to endeavor to make and post a card a day for the year.  Since it seems that I can hardly stay out of my stamp room, I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard.  I'm hoping the do the Year in cards with 2Peas in a Bucket also, so that might keep me on track.

I am so loving this script stamp and could do a whole set with different images and inking.  I am trying to decide if these three need a sentiment like on the previous post.  What do you think?

The first one has Stampers Anonymous flourish and Club Scrap fence post.

Unity Stamp tree.  Sizzix corner die cut on my Cuddlebug.

Stampers Anonymous flourish again, with Unity stamp and alcoholic inked pearls.
