6x6 card--using Wings & Jan. SOTM

Can you tell I'm really enjoying the new Wings paper?? :-)

It's featured again here along w/ an accordian flower & the January SOTM (available 1-31 Jan. 2011 ONLY!).  The card size is 6x6--this one would definitely need extra postage & cushion to mail!

3.5x8 Card with Wings paper & Rosy Regards stamp set

This isn't the greatest picture (taken w/ my phone), but I wanted to share a card I just made.  It features the new Wings paper pack/color combo, the new Rosy Regards stamp set & a great technique using liquid glass to create a marbled effect (see the Sweet Leaf green strip of paper across the top of the card).  I used the base & shade stamp technique for the flower & distressed the Col. White piece & Vineyard Berry mat using my edge distresser.

Summer Pics/Lay-outs

These are some of our spring/summer pictures from 2010.  Most were taken at Vedauwoo, the Children's Village or Lion's Park--all some of our favorite places to hang out and play.  When my mom visited this summer, I wanted to make sure the kids got lots of fun time with Gramma--and I made sure to get lots of pictures. A few of the lay-outs aren't quite complete (need accessories or titles), but I'm trying to get my blog updated so I wanted to post some recent work.

 Retired paper (think it's called Rowdy).  Haven't titled it yet.

Pics taken at the Children's Village when my mom was here visiting this summer (June 2010).

The Love Dare - Day 1

I've been a busy bee! Some recent projects...in no particular order!

I haven't had a lot of time to scrap in the last couple months, but I took advantage of some "down-time" during the recent holiday break to do some scrappin'!  I'm not even close to being caught up (and never will be!), but it felt good to get so many pictures onto scrapbook pages--some recent, some old.  Enjoy!

Monochramatic color scheme--Outdoor Denim, Indian Corn Blue, Crystal Blue, Heavenly Blue

(This is my older son & me...in 2000!  Some of my favorite pictures of us!)
