Cards

I don't usually make cards but while I was at a friends I had stamped off a couple of images using her Sweetpea Stamps.  I found them while I was looking for something else and decided to make them up into cards. They really are the most gorgeous stamps.

Challenges

I finished two pages for challenges this weekend.  The Whoo Hoo page was for a challenge posted by Sonya and Carol at Birds of a Feather Craft Together and the other is for a sketch challenge at  Little Shop of Sketches

This layout was made using metal plumbers tape over die cut shapes, The tape was then dry embossed to bring out the die cut shapes.  The flowers were made out of punched card stock and metal tape.  I think it creates an awesome effect on the page.

It has been a busy busy month keeping up with work and the children.  Nevertheless our swap group GGS Swaps has started the swaps for the year.  The first swap is to use one of the gorgeous Sweet Pea stamps and it has to have 3D elements.  Above is the mini album I made for Sonya.  The stamped mermaid image is behind a piece of plastic packaging and is actually a shaker box with sand and shells in the bottom of the "window".  Great way to re-use stuff we would normally throw away.
