More Valentine Cards

I finally managed to finish up the 3 remaining cards that I started last weekend.  Hope you enjoy

 

 

Bookmarks

I also just finished up some Bookmarks that I made for a swap on one of the groups I belong to and will share them with you.  
This first set:  Bookmark on the left is all from the Natural Resource kit, the leaves were actually decorations used at Thanksgiving - I do recycle...., the one on the right is a mixed group of papers and stamps.....

The one on the left - I used a new "around the corner" punch from Martha Stewart - stamps and papers
 from various sources in my stash  The one on the right used a Herringbone Technique from Club Scrap and Technique Junkies, verse I found on a quote website:  http://www.quotegarden.com/books.html
Paper from various Club Scrap kits.












This uses all Club Scrap papers and fibers and a calendar that was provided by Hetty's blog http://craftchaos.blogspot.com/  Thank you Hetty

Valentine Cards

I decided to get a head start on Valentine Cards.....All of the papers on these are from the "From the Heart" kit from Club Scrap issued Jan 08.  Stamps are from the 08, 09 and 10 Valentine kits and flowers and gems from my stash.

Happy New Year

I know, I'm a little late in wishing everyone a Happy New Year.  We finally got a few days that I didn't have to work - when you work on an activity team at an RV Resort the time from Thanksgiving until after New Years can be very hectic.  On Friday there were 5 couples that took a New Year's day ride from Casa Grande area up to Tortilla Flats - an old Stage Line Depot - for lunch and the long way home - rode about 200 miles and then on Saturday 3 couples rode from our RV Resort up to Globe and Superior area - old Copper Mining area - and back.  Not sure how many miles, but I'm sure it was around 200 again.  I hope to get some photos downloaded and posted soon.

I did get back into a creative mode today - Technique Junkies had a "Brown Bag" technique in the latest newsletter and I had some brown bag paper laying around so played with tearing, inking and a little stamping and came up with this card.  Stamps are from Club Scrap.

I wish all of you the best for 2010.

Cards from the past few days

I did manage to make up a few more cards and a gift card holder.  These 2 cards are made with Old World Christmas papers from 2008 Club Scrap Kit, the snowflakes are from this year's Joyful kit.

This card uses papers from Old World Christmas kit from Club Scrap (08) and the stamp is from an 06 kit called Groovy Christmas.  I didn't like it once I stamped it, so I took it and spritzed with water, crumpled and then used some distress inks from Ranger to make it look "aged".

This is the gift card holder card I made using the "Petite 4" Technique from the lastest issue of Technique Junkies newsletter.  Papers are miscellaneous papers in my stash and the JOY stamp is from Club Scrap's 2009 Joyful kit.  I made a gift card holder with the red paper and taped to the inside center of the card.

I will probably be making more of the gift card holders tomorrow.
Thanks

What I'm up To

I've been taking a short break from making cards.  Hoping to finish up some last minute things on the Christmas Cards I've been working on and get them mailed out.  I've also been rearranging some of my crafting area in our motorhome, if you don't think that's a challenge........let me know and you can come help me :-)  Those that know me, will agree that I'm not afraid of a challenge. 
We are spending this winter in Arizona and the last few days have been a bit chilly, but my family and friends in Minnesota and Kansas have it a lot worse than we do here.  At least we aren't in Northern Mountains area of Arizona.  We had some nasty high winds and lo 50's for highs the past couple of days.  The sun did come out today and the wind was very calm, but temps still below normal. 

For some of you that are my crafting friends, Beth is having giving away some great "blog candy" over on her site.  If you want to check it out.  Go over to Nana's Memories & More  - listed over in the "Blogs I follow area" of my blog on the right hand side to see what she's been up to lately.

Have a great week.
Hugs to all
