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.
