Anniversary Card

I had the pleasure to create an anniversary card this week for my sister and her husband who celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary on September 21st!!!

I sponged the background with CTMH sky, indian corn blue and outdoor denim inks.  The images are stamped with Memento black ink with the stamp set Childhood Portrait.  I love this little pair on the bench under the moonlight, sneaking a little smooch.

The card is dark so I wanted to pop with a buttercup cardstock mat.

No embellishments, just my inky fingers!!!



I hope you enjoy this card.

Door Card

Wow - I'm squeaking in two posts in one week!!!  This is the 2nd card we'll be doing in September card classes.  I have been wanting to make this "door" card for some time and this was the perfect time to do so. 

Again, a simple card that highlights the stamped image.  These beautiful images are from Remarkable Wreath stamp set.

The door handle is a durable stud - cute right?

The inside sentiment reads:  May the bounty of the season fill your hearts and home.

Cardstock is champagne - ink distressed with saddle.  I love the combination.


I hope you enjoy this card.

Always Grateful

Sometimes, when browsing a new CTMH Idea Book one item will jump out at you.  Now calling something your favourite is impossible, but we all have favourite stamp sets, colours, bling, or embellishment that just call to us.

In the Autumn/Winter Idea Book 2013 the stamp set Always Grateful did that for me.  It's a very simple set of 3 single trees, 4 sentiments - nothing spectacular - or is there?  Maybe the simplicity of the images spoke to me, or the thoughts the sentiments evoked, but this set was a must have.

   
I wanted to keep my card clean & simple - let the image and sentiment speak for themselves.  I added black tulle ribbon to bring in some texture and angled my image (kinda like the tilt in my head when I'm thinking) to add some visual interest.







Enjoy,


Jennifer

Hello All

Yikes, I can't believe summer is almost over.  I don't know but time seems to have flown by.  I hope you all have lots of great summer pics and are ready to get at your scrapbooking layouts.  The Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book has great paper choices for all!!! 

I haven't posted artwork lately because I've been (gasp!!!) working on Christmas presents.  I love to create special gifts for my family and friends that are unique to anything else.  Unfortunately, that means you can't see what I've been doing!!!

Let's just say my Cricut has been busy chirping away, my fingers are inky, glitter is spread around the house, and paper pieces could turn up anywhere.

I am also working on projects for fall/winter workshops, and card classes.  I will post those in the next few days.
