Another From our Hearts....By the Tide set

Loved the By the Tide set...will use it as my first stamp of the month...when I figure out how to put the page behind.....someone told me but until I do it a few times...don't get it...it is at times like these that I am envious of the techies...lol

This is not using our current card stock...but will make one soon for class...absolutely LOVE this set....the designs are wonderful and look so ral....used Night of Navy for the stamping..and chocolate chip....

On Film Framelits...

Don't usually go with this color combo...but love it when I embossed it...and then used the shimmery paper...it handles water color very well....the silver paper is used for the frame...

 the arrow at the bottom

 if you want a softer look...use the whisper white and blender pen...could have gotten a different look with the embossed and blender pen...will have to try that...lol

From our Hearts..using another valentine retired set

Used the heart framelits.....love the way this card turned out....getting to really love that grunge set.....

Will miss this set from the mini Peaceful Petals

Used the Sahara sand and black on this card

Used Stazon...in class they choose to used the versamark and embossing powder....the white is fussy cut and glued on.....

A graduation card for a friend...using the set in the mini

The boys school colors are navy and silver so this worked out well...used the silver paper with Night of Navy...came together nicely...

Happy Birthday featuring the soon to be retired festive edgelits

I haven't used turquoise is awhile...so this is a nice change to say the least....great MALE birthday card.....sometimes, I have to rack my brain making the male cards...not that hard, but sometimes, the mojo is not there......

 close up of center

A little inspiration from Lynn Starzl...thanks roomie!!

I have used this set before but not in awhile...to say the least......love these colors...that cabana is wonderful...I stamped off the stippled blossom them added the orange...softer look....

 a close up...used the circles collection .....

 did just a hint of the flower on the inside...

 depending what the class member choose..that is where we decided to score the top piece BEFORE attaching.....

 During the class they choose the design from the DSP pack that they wanted to use...then we added the dazzling details...loved the results...
