Finally Time to Share Some Projects!

Let me begin with an apology of being away for so long.  Sometimes life can give us things which make our worlds a little crazy now and then.  This has been the case for me.  Unfortunately my in-laws have had some very serious health issues since September of last year.  There were 3 separate times and each one involved a possibility of losing one of them.  I have to say we have been blessed and spent some good quality time together.  But with the last one my father-in-law did pass away.  He was a good man and a great example to me and our family and I am grateful to know I will see him again.  But needless to say some things were put on hold for awhile.

But things are starting to return to a new normal and I am ready to share with you our last project we did in February.  I will post other pictures of past projects in future posts to catch you up on some of what we have been doing.

 I thought I would show you the outside and the inside of this fun card.  Don't you love the Designer Series Paper!

I cased this from Teri Pocock.  Thank you Teri! It was a lot of fun to make.  When you use the Bow punch builder you need to punch out your paper twice to have all the pieces you need to put your bow together.  I used a bone folder to curl each loop of my bow closing with a mini glue dot.

Supplies:  Naturals White and Black cardstock, Black to Black Designer Series Paper; Pearl jewels, Bow punch builder, Sassy Salutaions Stamp set, mini glue dots, bone, folder, and Black Momento ink.

This was another fun one to do!  Doesn't it make you just want to celebrate!  I cased this one from Patty Bennett.

This card gives you another way to use your Photopolymer stamp sets.  The Tempting Turquoise background was done by using the reverse side of the saying.  Afterwards I just cleaned it off and turned it over to stamp the saying in Momento Black.

Supplies: Pumpkin Pie and White cardstock, Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Black Momento ink, Balloon Bash Stamp Set, Tombow glue, In Color sequins, Pumpkin Pie marker and dimensionals.

I hope this puts in the mood to play and experiment.  Have fun playing!  I did!  Sorry the pictures are so funny.  It just isn't cooperating and I wanted to get it posted instead of wasting time playing with them.  Hopefully the next post will be better.
