Christmas Cards for Troops #8

For the next challenge we were to use a Christmas card we've received or made in the past and give it a fun facelift!

I loved the pretty embossed paper, so used that portion only and kept the card very simple. Added the punched border, bling, chipboard from Scenic Route and ribbon from my stash.

Christmas Cards for Troops #7

The next challenge is to use Non-Christmas patterned paper on your card.

I used Pink Paislee Amber Road
found at the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking store.

The other card was done using My Minds Eye Warm Asparagus.

Christmas Cards for Troops #6

This challenge was to use a stamp. I decided to use all stamps on this card. I had seen this done on someones blog, but now can't find it. If I run across it again, I'll post the link. I masked off the rectangle, stamped with VersaMark then used Stampin Up! chalks to color the trees. Removed the mask and stamped the large tree with ink, added a little Radiant Pearls Golden Honey to look like snow. The greeting is embossed with black.

Christmas Cards for Troops #5

We are to use a sketch from Page Maps. Here are my cards.

The first one is Scenic Route patterned paper and greeting. The flourish is a stamp by Autumn Leaves. I sprayed the cardstock with Glimmer Mist Pink Taffy.

The second one is made with papers from DCWV. The tree stickers are unknown. I sprayed the papers with Glimmer Mist Olive Vine.

Ocean Phobia

So when is a "beach vacation" not a "beach vacation"? It's when your granddaughter tells you after you get there that she has "Ocean Phobia"! We spent 3 days at an ocean side resort and never once went to the beach. Katie found so many other ways to keep us and herself busy it didn't seem to matter that we drug all the sand toys, mats, umbrella and chairs along - but weren't used. Maybe another time!

Christmas Cards for Troops #4

Our 4th challenge is to make a "wintery" card. Here's mine. I used a snow people stamp by Stampin Up!, patterned paper is Basic Grey, spritzed on some Distress Ink combined with blue Perfect Pearls so the white card wasn't so white. I also added some Crystal Effects on the large snowflake brads, snowballs and a few spots of the snow people. The other card is also a Stampin Up! stamp, the flourish is by Autumn Leaves which I stamped in white and embosses in a mixture of white and clear. The greeting is a rub-on. Patterned paper is by Scenic Route.

June DT layouts

One of the best things about working with Scrap Attack Scrapbooking Design Team kits is that you often get papers you hadn't thought about buying for your layouts. Lauri sent me Moxxie Chillin Out line, Chatterbox Artsy.licious foil engraved cardstock, Rose Moka Design Appel de la Nature and Equinoxe. While I hadn't given these papers a second thought I love how they all work together to make some fun summer pages. Thanks for a great kit Lauri!!!

Christmas Cards for Troops #3

For our second challenge we were to create an ornament out of scraps. The Stamp Set is Peaceful Wishes from Stampin Up! Papers are from DCWV and American Crafts, the metallic foil board is by Grafix that I ran through the crimper.

Christmas Cards for Troops #2

Our second challenge is to do a card with embossing - either wet, dry or both. I chose to do wet embossing, the technique Cracked Glass using UTEE. The Stamp Set is Christmas Cardinal from Stampin Up! Papers are from DCWV.
