Winter Wonderland

Whoo hoo.........I get to play today!! I have been wanting to do the winter page for several months. I think I got the sketch layout from Spellbinders website. I love when the trees look like this and this photo is from a tree in my front yard on the way to work one morning.
With the scraps I also made a card (shown on bottom) and there was still enough left to make a duplicate card that will hit the floor for sale.

Page Supplies: Bo Bunny papers, Hero Art gems, Cuttlebug snowflake die, Judith snowflake stamp, Picture This diecut.
Card Supplies: Bo bunny papers, Versa Color ink, Copics, Nestabilities Label 9, May Arts ric rac, MS punch, Inky Antics stamp and cardstock.

Alright..........I am off to play some more.

Butterfly Flight

This will give you spring fever. This page will be for a upcoming private kids class. And then some will hit the floor as pagekits.

Hummingbird

Here's the card I promised earlier this week. It was paper for the Fab 5 but I didn't care for the end result enough for it to make it into my Fab 5.

Supplies: SEI paper, cardstock, EK Success stickers and border punch, ribbon and gems.

Fab 5 Day 5

Welcome to our final day of our Fab 5. We hope you have been enjoying all of the ideas. Be sure to thank my talented staff the next time you are in if you are gaining a lot of inspriation from our Fab 5's. Its more work put on our plates but if they know you all are loving it and getting inspired....it sure makes it easier for me to convince them to do it again =)

I had asked a guest designer to do one of my projects since I knew I was short on time this month. So her post is following this one. But I also managed to get one done myself. So bonus for you...even more ideas!!

Our paper today is from Scrapworks and is double sided again. Don't you love double sided? I do. I am able to use the coordinating side so layering or as in this case....I used it on the inside of the card. (you can't see here but you can see most of our projects from this week displayed at the store for the next few weeks) I colored the animals with Copic Markers. I am loving them more and more each time I use them. I did a close-up on the dog so you can SEE how seamlessly the browns blend. All the colors blend but with other markers....you always get the brushstrokes..especially with brown.

Supplies: Scrapworks paper, Copic Markers, Stampavie Stamps, Prima flowers, Hero Arts gems, Creative Impressions ricrac, Nestabilities die.

Don't forget...today is last day to leave comment on any of our Fab 5 from this week to get your name entered into a drawing to win free product.

Guest Designer

I have a guest designer this week. Cari J. I gave her one of our papers from our Fab 5 to create something with. She was on our Design Team for a 6 month term and now has won in our customer design challenges we just started this year. Cari said she loves a challenge. She did a unique fold for her card and used velcro tabs to seal the card shut. The flower on the front was cut from the remaining of the paper and then pop dotted onto the front. Very nice and thank you Cari for being part of our Fab 5.

Fab 5 Day 4

Today's challenge was using a My Minds Eye double sided paper. I used the backside as it worked for the cloudy background. I also used a cloud template to add a little more cloud definition. The graduation hat as pop-dotted for added dimension. It's all about details ladies.

Supplies: Judith stamps, EK Success border punch, Copics, Rosie Roadshow Cloud template, Jute cardstock, My Minds Eye paper.
