Jubilee Book Project

I have spent a lot of the last couple of weeks making a lot of cards taking my stash of papers, etc to build a stash of cards for use when needed.  I did take time out last weekend to go to Tucson with a friend of mine to another friend's home for a Club Scrap workshop on the new project that came with the January Stamp kit.  It's a very unique Venetian Blind Book project - here is a pic of the one I did - the blind part is very challenging but it's fun.....

 

and when open.............

Thanks for stopping for a visit - see you next time around :)

Mono-Die Challenge with Beth

Good morning - I hope everyone is having a great week..  I'm in week #4 of the ClubScrap PSL - Pro-Scrappers League - it's an awesome challenge by the staff at Club Scrap to use up our stash of paper.  In the middle of all this Beth Norman of Sunflowers and Dragonflies and I have been challenging each other every week to do a new project from Technique Junkies - Beth is working on getting me out of my "comfort zone".  This week we decided to do the "Mono Die" technique from the Feb issue of Technique Junkies.  Here is my entry:
 
I picked paper from my Club Scrap Stash, a stamp from a Bird Collection from Martha Stewart, Greeting Stamp is from Club Scrap.  You can find Beth's beautiful card at Sunflowers and Dragonflies  Last week we did the Herringbone Tech using the Border Embossing Folders from Cuttlebug.  Be sure to check back next Wednesday to see what we are working on next week.
Thanks for stopping by :)

 A couple of new cards for today - these are all being posted on the Club Scrap Gallery under the 2010 PSL in the Stamper Team folder
This card uses all papers, and stamps from the Club Scrap Birds of a Feather Kit - thought it looked a bit "Springy"  for the PSL post - I made 4 to enter


These two cards are made with the Apothecary kit - I added the buttons from my stash.









Thanks for stopping by - see you the next time I post :)

Box and Mini Books

As you all know - I'm a member of Club Scrap - I get the Stamp kit each month and usually get the paper project that goes with the kit - this is the Box and Mini Books that came in the January 2010 Jubilee kit.

 

 

Thanks and come back to see me again :)

I also made another card - this one uses stamps that I purchased from River City Rubber Works, in Haysville, KS - just south of Wichita.  I met these gals about 4 years ago and have never posted one of their images until now.  Dana and her friend Mary and their families design and make a great variety of rubber stamps, both mounted and unmounted as well as digital images.  They have been known to use family and friends as models, and the images on this card were the grandparents of Dana.  I used a "Faux Paneling" technique from Technique Junkies.as the background for this card, papers are from Club Scrap .  I also used my Nestabilities die for the oval shape. 
 

I will be making some more cards using some of their great stamps in the future.

Thanks for stopping by.......

Today Beth Norman and I are challenging each other to create a card using a narrow cuttlebug folder, and then turning those pieces of paper into a Herringbone card.  I created a Black & White card a couple of weeks ago and Beth thought it was neat how I used the "Border Cuttlebug" folder for the pieces of the design.  The card I'm posting here uses all papers from the Clubscrap collection of kits.  The card includes strips from various scraps of paper from different kits.  This technique is a great way to use up scraps of paper.  The browns make a great "masculine" card for any occasion.  



You can see the card that Beth made by going to http://www.sunflowers-dragonflies.ca/blog/
