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

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
