Birthday Card

I made this card for one of my friends. I used Stampin Up stamps, paper, and brads.

I cut the tag by hand and cut the base with my cricut.

I love all the white showing....makes it look clean!

If you're like me you sometimes get stuck for a really great idea for a scrapbook layout.

Here's a website by Becky Fleck I found that has hundreds of layout "maps". Unlike a real map, you don't have to follow it exactly to get where you want to go.

I printed out a bunch of the maps and plan on taking them to my church's scrapbook overnighter tonight.

Just click on the link below to access all the wonderful layouts she has in her archive.

Storage Ideas

This is a link to a site I found today while I was just browsing the internet. There are some great ideas here for craft storage.

I especially liked to use of old drawers for storage or bookshelves.

Check it out for yourself!!

Storage Ideas

Here are a couple of cards I've recently done. The flower card was done by stamping the images and then sponging on the color, cutting out the image and then smashing and folding and opening and doing it all over again! Then I lightly sponge more color on and mounted them with Stampin Dimensionals.

The fishing card was done using a variation on the technique Pullin' Pastels by Gina K. The fish was stamped seperately and cut out. Although it looks like it's tied on with the hemp cord it's actually glued on.

Tag Card

Here is something I made a couple of years ago. I made each tag individually and then "hooked" them together with a punch from my word window punch. I think next time I would use one sheet of paper but I originally was going to do something else so this is what I ended up with. I do like the way it turned out though.
