Tea Shoppe...no name on swap

There was no name on this swap from Leadership....I just love the card and wish I knew who to give credit to.....the only think I changed was the paper...love the dutch fold....have a wonderful blessed day...

My swap at Monika's

I always enjoy going into GA...and attending Monika Davis's downline....none of her downline came to her meeting....only her adoptees (me among them...lol), and sidelines.   We made our new color sheets and one of the make n takes was made by Anne Arnold....the really sweet lady I sometimes stay with when I am in town....will show you some of the swaps and the make n takes this week on my blog...this first one is my swap, one from my class a couple of weeks ago....

I absolutely love this scalloped ribbon..I am so glad they are having more in the new catty...this card is embosed in black and a blender pen is used using melon and olive ink...the layers are propped up...have an enjoyable and blessed evening....

In Georgia at Monika Davis's downline meeting

I have been so blessed  to have Monika as an adopted upline.  I am from Ohio and Michelle  Weinman is my upline .(We communicate online and via mail)  Monika is always so kind and has such wonderful ideas.   I have been to two of her MDS retreat and they were so well worth the expense.  She does the retreat with Cindy Schuster (I think that last name is incorrect spelling)...If you ask Monika , Cindy is the tech person but they both are...obviously, my opinion.  Cindy's work was shown at the digital display at convention.  I travel about two hours to the meetings and sometimes stay overnight at the Hampton in Woodstock.  Lately, Anne Arnold (another one of Monika's adoptees...lol), in Woodstock , has opened her house to me for an overnight...what a great family they are...and love a lot of Anne's creations......................I will be attending one of the those meetings and overnights today and tonight.  I will be taking some pictures at Monika's...to put on my blog when I return....Have a blessed day....

Vespers and Pretty Postage Quilt Card

This card is a case from Sharon Field....the top part of the card.  Sharon has so much talent....unbelievable.  Before reading her blog, I had never attempted using the watercolor crayons on darker paper.  I was so surprised that the vanilla came out on the blue paper....you may have to add more than one coat...but the result is so worth the effort....

I did a quilt class within the last year.....I love how this came out....I found the pattern online and just used my incolor and Pretty Postage set with it...the way I had my customers do it was to use a piece of our graph paper (which I printed on our whisper white).   When they finished, they emossed it with the Houndstooth embossing folder.   Have a wonderful blessed day.....

The Open Sea

As you can see by the paper...this card was made awhile ago...but absolutely LOVE this set ...so masculine and fun....both the compass and the anchor have crystal effects on them...most items on this card are current .....Have a great and blessed day...

Mother's Day card, Father's Day card and skirt card

These petals were made from the now retired heart punch...the small piece of paper is folded....but they could be done with the blossom punch....the centers are using the button emblosslit.

This was my BBQ dad using  punch art...the handle for the spatula is the bird punch..with the jewelry tag punch used at the end.

I am sure you have seen this many times but I loved that paper when it was here...this is using the large square scalloped die....the rose is made using the 1 1/4 circle with the scalloped circle  and making the flower by wrapping it around a thin bamboo thingie used for BBQing...sorry the name of it slipped my mind....Have a great day.....

So sorry for the error

Can you tell I am new at this?   Gheez....will post some older cards on here as an apology....too bad you can't erase...that is what happens when you post from two computers....the one above is a card I made for a friend...was trying to do some punch art....challenging myself...lol

This is another punch art design I came up with...was sort of proud of this one...lol...have a nice evening...
