Circle Card and Inchies

This is the last week of the card swap I am in. The theme was a card with a circle on it. I decided to take it one step further and make the entire card a circle.

Here is an awful scan of my June inchies:
(The theme was seashore)

These are some inchies that I made for a friend who is having a birthday this month:

Sparkle Card

Here is my sparkle card for last week's swap. I totally cased this card idea from Faith on Split Coast Stampers: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/913661?perpage=48&si=penguin
I used the new solid color glitter papers from Die Cuts With a View for the wave and some glittered surfboard paper from the DCWV Summer Glitter Stack for the background. I used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the wave and ran Ancient Page ink over it to show the detail. The penguin stamp is from one of the first Stampin Up! sets (Penguin Paradise) that we ever bought and is painted with Twinkling H2Os.

More Paris Decos

Here is the page I did in Marilyn's Paris deco:
Marilyn bound together a bunch of oversized vintage Paris postcards to make her deco. What a fantastic idea!!!!


Here is the front and back of my page in Debbie's Paris deco:

I used the transparent embossing paste and glitter through the fleur de lis brass stencil again, and it still doesn't show up well in the scan.

Debbie punched holes in the corners of some 4" coasters and added some wire to bind them together as a book. Another great idea!
