Photography Thank You

I asked a gentleman I know if he could come in to our Home-School classes (we meet once a month for special group classes) and talk to our teens about photography. I was hoping I would learn something too :). So then I got the opportunity to make a Thank You card for him from the group and here is what I came up with. I was debating between anything with the filmstrip and the punch cameras so I decided to merge them both and put the punch camera in the filmstrip. I needed to add the stars so it looks like the flashes were going off. I sponged around the whole front of the card and around each of the white boxes on the filmstrip. I used the crop-a-dile to punch the hole in the center of the smaller circle. This was a fun card to make and I know he will enjoy it!

Botty Birthday

This card was fun to make. If it wasn't for my unsteady coloring I would love it. I did not even realize that the double circle punch retired until I posted this card (boo hoo) I love it to make faux brads. It might be one I have to hold on to for a while...

Get Well Star

I needed a fun get well card for a child who is having surgeries. I thought this one would be fun to case. I changed it to fit what I had on hand and what I needed it for. I sponged around the edge of the Pumpkin Pie Print Pattern Card Front.

Green Galore

Sorry, My oldest son at home had to have his wisdom teeth surgically removed yesterday. He is a hurting! We had to leave very early yesterday morning. The roads were horrible, even the interstate. Cars were in the ditch everywhere. What was to be a 1 hour drive took over 2 hours. So today I am combining the Sketch Challenge with the Color Challenge. After I laid down the designer paper I knew I could not cover it up with as much as the sketch made it out. So I decided to use the My way Punch that way the DSP could peek out some more. I colored the happy birthday with the markers and the flower I stamped in the Green Galore and rolled the tips in the Tempting Turquoise.

Catalog Case 114

So today I decided just to open the catalog and Case (Copy and Steal Everything) the first card I saw. The catalog opened to page 114. Thankfully I had that set so I could be closer. I did change the colors and a few small elements. I do not have a lot of buttons so I replaced it with the build a brads. It is hard to tell but I used So Saffron Craft ink and stamps the flowers on the night of navy in the build a brad.

Celebrate in Every Way

Ok, I had time and I could not wait to do the Sketch challenge for today. I had this idea ever since I saw the new My Way punch. I've been trying to think of ways to use my Word Search background stamp more and I think I just figured out how I can live without my retired Alphabits set!
