Spring/Easter Anysoldier Card Swap


Here's the 20 cards I created for the Spring/Easter card swap! I used Anne Fenton's image for 19 of the cards for my Easter image. I was able to practice using my Copic markers and I recruited my daughter to help color them! :D 

The first card that was finished we embellished up with ribbon to show what this card can look like with just a little more added to it. I decided to keep them less bulky to send to the swap group.

Calendar Fun.. I can't stop Myself!


Oh why didn't I think of this last year? These calendars are such a simple and great idea! I redesigned the calendar I made for The Outlawz Copic Challenge. I changed the ribbon and gave him some patterned paper that I added photo corners so that each month can be changed. I have two calendars in the making so far.

Tag Your it!






I was inspired by  the CAS Challenge at The Outlawz to research gift tags. I discovered a page from Tim Holtz his 12 tags of Christmas. I didn't have all the products he used but I was inspired and here are the ones I created for the Tag theme in CAS. I don't think they really fall in the category of CAS but I had to show them off! :D

HM Calendar Jan 2013


House Mouse stamps are some of my very favorite! Over at Paper Craft Planet they are challenging us in the HM & Friends Group to use our HM (House Mouse) stamps to make a calendar to be finished by the end of year to give as a gift next holiday season. In my calendar I added photo corners to a piece of scrap paper so that the months can be changed out using the one page.
