For the Love of Paper

Tool Tree

2010-07-13T15:56:00.000-04:00

This is a Father's Day card that I made for my husband. I had a lot of fun making it. The tree, base, and all the "ornaments" are individual stamped images. For this card, I was able to try masking which is a new technique for me. I used paper specially designed for masking by Inkadinkado.

Brads: Spare Parts (I think...)
Ink: Momento

Caught a Bug

I was so excited when I found this jar stamp to go with my favorite bug! I also found a way to recycle the packaging from Cricut cartridges- take a close look at the jar. I think the card turned out really well, if I do say so myself. The supplies are listed below.

This is a birthday card I made for my son. I just love this frog stamp from Stampendous!

Checking on You card

2010-06-12T14:23:00.002-04:00

I made this card for a friend at work who became ill. I was in a hurry to get a picture of it before I delivered it and went off to work. So, the photo isn't great! As you can see, it is a bit fuzzy and the card shape looks a bit distorted. The actual card is really cute! I love the puppy stamp which is from Stamps by Judith. I stamped the individual dog image 3 times to make it look like he keeps popping in to check on my friend.

Something New...

2010-04-26T18:30:00.000-04:00

Blogging is a new adventure for me. I have never had a blog and this is my first post. I felt I had to put something on the page. I didn't want people to visit and wonder why there is nothing to view. As soon as I figure this whole thing out, I will be adding scrapbook pages, cards, and the projects I create to use in my classroom.
