My father-in-law stopped in for an over-night visit last night so I was a little too busy yesterday to post anything. To make up for it I'll post two pictures today. :) First, this is a picture of the blog candy that Nancy won. It should be well on its way to Canada and her mailbox by now, and I'm sure she'll be getting it soon. I hope she has fun with it!! She's getting 28 pieces of 6 x 6 patterned paper, 4 selections of ribbon/trim, an alterable frame, 15 pieces of CS that have been embossed with 5 different Cuttle Bug A2 Embossing Folders, 7 sets of Cuttle Bug die-cuts, AND the stamp set Doodle That!!! It doesn't look like much in the picture, but that's because I didn't spread out all of the paper, CS and dies. I tried to coordinate some of the embossed CS with the patterned paper, but my main desire was to give her lots of different colors of items to play with. You never know what supplies someone already has to work with. Hope you enjoy it Nancy!!
This card is one that I made for a swap I'm in. It's a full-card swap, but we only had to make 5 + 1. I'm really enjoying this stamp set made by Papertrey Ink. It's so versatile, and I hope that my 2nd swap card shows that - I didn't use the butterfly images at all. I'll show you that one tomorrow ;) Anyway, for this card I used Marigold Morning, Whisper White, Basic Black and Kraft CS. I used Marigold Morning ink, Black StazOn, and a white Signo gel pen. I also used my corner rounder punch to make the scalloped edge - a technique I'm still working on! :) Lastly, I used some black organdy ribbon that I got from Wal-Mart with polka-dots. I tried to tie in the dots in the butterfly with the ribbon and the dots on the scalloped edges. These are not usual colors for me, but I wanted something bright and happy for a birthday card. I hope the ladies in the swap like them!
