Wetlands Birthday

Whipped this card up really quickly before I left for work this morning. I love the Wetlands stamp set and needed a masculine birthday card. Really like the way the background paper turned out. I inked one side of the embossing folder and then inserted very vanilla paper and ran it through the Big Shot. Wanted a card that was simple and quick yet elegant, therefore, I used the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch for the week.

Stamp: Wetlands

Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Early Espresso

Accessories: Soft Suede Polka Dotted Ribbon, Starburst Framelit Dies,  Wood Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Circles Diecuts, Small oval punch, Dimensional.

In Like a Lion

My goodness, it has been a whole month since I last posted and it is cold and snowing like crazy with the wind also blowing. I have been so busy. was sick for a week with bronchitis, extra hours the next week at work to get caught up, a few extra days off end of January and February. Now it is March and I feel like I have accomplished nothing but I really have. Went to a three day scrap retreat and did 12 quilted-like cards and 20 layouts.After I did my 7 2 page layouts at the retreat I also put 4 groups of 7 layouts  2-pages each for a scrap class yesterday. They ladies were really pleased and want to do another one. I am really liking the matching Stampin' Up designer series papers, matching stickers and washi tape. We used Epic Day This and That yesterday. Plan to use the Retro Fresh set of matching products for a class in May.

I also put together today a set of 15 cards to send off with a couple from our church that is going on a mission trip so she will have hand made cards to send home to friends. Best of luck to Tyler, Renae, Caleb. Aaron and Jocelyn. We will be praying for you often. God will be with you all of the way and will look forward to hear about the progress from John and Karen and your mission letters. We will miss you very much and the little ones in nursery and the Awana program.

Hopefully I will be able to get some things completed this week that I can post. I am a little behind on my swap group and my BRAKS but plan to be working on these furiously this next week so I can get caught up.

More Operation Write Home cards

Today I made 4 of each of these cards using the Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch #SFF013114 and made 4 portrait and 4 landscape. It is just like taking pictures I get hung up in forgetting to turn the camera. I received a card today made with these colors, one of the stamps and paper about 4 hours after I had picked out and started to cut my papers for the sketch. Her sketch was really close to this one. Thanks Roberta.
