Thank You For Being Kind!



This is my card for our September swap for my local stamp store called Polka Dots.  The theme is Monochromatic!  I picked a newer stamp that I am not sure I have used yet from Pretty Pink Posh called Simple Sayings-Kind. I then cut out the sentiment and the layer from my My Favorite Things-MFT Stitched Corner Tag Rectangles.  The background paper is from Stampin' Up's Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper Pack. I added a strip of Tranquil Tide Mini Ruffled Ribbon under the die cuts and some greenish enamel dots to complete the monochromatic look!



Here is the inside of my card:



I am sure I will get back some sweet cards!

Happy Birthday!


This is my card for our March swap for my local stamp store called Polka Dots.  The theme is Birthday Cards.  I went with a sentiment From Two Lips Stamps, which is the company of Therese, the owner of Polka Dots.  The line of sentiment stamps are funny and even a bit naughty at times.  I laugh out loud at many of them!  I cut the sentiment and added a frame from Stampin' Up's Stitched Rectangle dies.  Then, I layered some retired Designer Series Paper called Sycamore Street for the bright pop of color.  That is one of my favorite sets of patterned paper!

I am sure I will get back some fun and colorful cards!

It's Spring ~ Let's Party


This is my card for a swap at my LSS called Polka Dots. The theme for this round is Spring! I dug out an older Unity stamp for the image and added a sweet Inky Antics sentiment to complete the card. Robin Williams was right--Let's Party!  I also found some great spring gardening patterned paper for the background.

Here is the inside of my card:

Snow is Glistening


This is my card for a Christmas Card Swap at my LSS called Polka Dots. This card was inspired by another card I made after being inspired by Yvette (YvettesArts on SCS) card found Here!   I posted a similar card on November 26th for our blog group called The Gallery Gazers.  We are to find a card in the SCS gallery to CASE and I loved the one I did, so I made 15 more, with a bit of a variation!


I had fun making this card and I hope that everyone likes it too.  I am sure I will get back some pretty Christmas Cards!

Happy Halloween


This is the card I made for our bi-monthly swap at my local stamp and scrapbook store called Polka Dots, in Mukwonago.  The theme this month is Fall or Halloween. 

I inked up one of my favorite Halloween stamps by Memory Box.  I used Smooch on the spiders and I do not think I have used one of those bottles in a few years.  There is a bit of glimmer on those bugs!

Here is the inside of my card:


I hope everyone likes my card!
