Another Valentine

I finished another Valentine today. I am not used to the new scanning method that this new computer forces me to follow. It looks like I am going to have to call my "guru" about this to figure out what is going on. I used to be able to initiate scanning from a desktop icon, and now I can't do that. I have to actually ask the scanner (printer, copier, fax combined) to scan and I don't get the whole picture. Makes it tough to scan 3 photos in one picture -- which I discovered yesterday! This one has a lace edging like the others. But I sewed tiny pink beads on the pink heart, then glued it to blue lace, glued to ledger paper, glued to cardstock which was sewn to the heavy weight watercolor paper. Love the sturdiness of these cards! Even the stamp with the pomegranate on it worked well with this card.

How about those Arizona Cardinals yesterday!!! We're going to the Super Bowl!!

December ATC

This is my ATC for this month at Mystic Paper. The theme was "artist's choice." I decided to do one in a Christmas theme even though I could have picked anything.
I had been stamping on tissue paper in red ink. So I decided to use that paper as the background for this ATC. I love this image so I printed her out and used red Stickles to highlight the holly berries and gold to outline the image. Green and black inks were used to shade the edges.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE GIVE AWAY THIS WEEK!!!

La Mode Illustree slide mailer collage

I picked up this small slide mailer at Mystic Paper earlier this week. Decided to do a quick project with it this morning. I made this little book. Below is a peek inside the slide mailer book.
I used old images from my scrap box, pink paint, papers, fabric (the book spine cover), trim, a stamp, and Stickles. Quick to do and fun!!
