Week #3 Card

This week's Swap card had to use die cuts or punches. I didn't do anything too exciting, just used Nestabilities. (I do LOVE my Nestabilities!!!)

Catching Up!

I am so behind on my blogging!

These are my January Inchies. The theme is "Just one color". Technically this was February's theme, but I got my months mixed up... OOPS! No worries, I will make January's inchies next month. :-)

Here is my week #2 swap card, which had to use gold foil, glitter or leafing:

This is my first Design Team card for Croppinsville. We had to make a project using a sketch from the latest issue of Scrapbook's Etc. We also had to use black chipboard, Prima flowers and a Prima transparency somewhere in the design. Sadly, the lovely transparency doesn't show up in my scan...

Dark Colors & Layers

For week one of the swap, we had to make a card using dark colors. Since I had used a Hero Arts stamp, I decided to also enter it in this week's layers challenge on the Hero Arts blog . Just getting a useable photo was a challenge in itself. I took over 100 photos with our digital camera and couldn't get even one clear picture to use. (Either I am a lousy photographer or our camera is a piece of crap!) I managed to finally get a decent (albeit very dark) scan, but it didn't really show the layers...
Anyway, my friend Allie saved the day by taking a picture for me! Thanks Allie!!!
