Another OLC

I made this one-layer card the same day as the one I posted yesterday. I think it was for a clean & simple challenge over at SCS, but I don't remember which one (again, that was a month ago).


Simple Butterflies (all SU! unless otherwise noted): A Little Bit of Happiness stamp set (retired); White cardstock (PTI); Basic Black classic stampin' pad; Rose Red and Sahara Sand stampin' write markers; aquapainter; stamp-a-ma-jig; ruler

Hello, again...again.

Yeah, I'm not going to mention the fact that it's been exactly a month since I posted, and I have no good excuse but laziness.

On to the good stuff!!

This card was actually made the day after my last post...a month ago...but who's counting?? Some sets I love from the get go and some don't "speak to me" until long after they retire. This set, A Little Bit of Happiness, was a hostess set a couple catalogs ago. I unmounted and cut apart the images to make them simpler to use alone or in other configurations. I've discovered I especially like them alone.


I applied crystal effects to the dragonfly to help him stand out from the card base.

Dragonfly Friend (all supplies Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted): A Little Bit of Happiness stamp set (retired); White cardstock (PTI); Basic Black Classic ink; Tempting Turquoise, Gable Green and Sahara Sand stampin' write markers; crystal effects

Contraband color challenge

Kristina has another great color challenge this week. Click the picture to check it out!

While I've created things for her color challenges before, it's been quite a while since I've been done in time to play along. I hope you like it.

Oh, this is also my first post with my NEW photo light tent. My setup's a little ghetto (using an ikea desk lamp...leaving it unattended could burn down the house), but, hey, if it works, that's the main thing, right?

Hmm...now all I need is a decent camera...

Oh, and the title of the post? About half the supplies for this card are non-SU!...GASP!!!! I just couldn't help myself.

kw#53 card: all supplies SU!, unless noted: Boxes Bags and Tags (PTI) and Short and Sweet; Stampers Select White cardstock (PTI), Real Red patterns dsp (retired); Valet ribbon originals; Pacific Point, Real Red, Summer Sun and Basic Black classic stampin' pads; rhinestone stickers (me & my big ideas)

Bleaching Sneak Peek

This is me making good on my promise to post "soon." Tuesday I'm teaching my monthly Technique Tuesday class, and it's all about bleach! So, here are sneak peeks of the cards we'll be making.

How was that for a "peek"?? If you'd like to see more, and take home some for yourself, join me Tuesday...Less then 24 hours to RSVP!! See you there.
