Still Here

Sorry bloggers. I've neglected this blog. Just not making cards much anymore. I will update one of these days.

Sorry Sorry Bloggers

I am sorry I haven't kept up this blog. I do more on my other blog http://www.romancingtheartistwithin.blogspot.com
I also moderate a great yahoo group for mixed media. We are swap oriented and have lots of fun with the variety of themes and projects each month. If you are looking for something beyond cards, check us out.

Have a great creative day

My February Cards so far

I love using the same papers and using them in different ways. I think there is a blurry one. Sorry.

Another variation

Here is the same card but a different look by adding a dotted ribbon. I always do about 6 cards all the same or a variation using the same stamp and colours of cardstock and then embellish them differently. The trend right now seems to be alot of flowers,gems, and glitter with lots of layering. I'm just not there yet. I like to keep things simple, but I'm trying to change. lol

Black and blue

Textured Cardstock by Stampin'Up, printed paper by Quick Quotes paper, handmade flower using printed paper by Kaiser Scrapbook, film strip by Tim Holtz Idea-ology; stamp by Hero arts.

This is the last of today's cards

Well this is the last of them for this month. I made 41 cards this month, so now it's on to something else. I have some swaps to do for the yahoogroup Art For The Creative Mind. I've had a great month doing cards, tags, atcs, gothic arches, and a mini book. For anything other than cards you can see them at http://www.romancingtheartistwithin.blogspot.com
Comments are always welcome.

These all supplies for these cards is from Stampin'Up. The stamp set is called Travel Sketchbook. It's an older stampset.

Cards, Cards, Cards

I love using up the papers and cardstock sitting on my table. I have a basket of bits and pieces and once in awhile I like to work just with what I have sitting there. Here are the results of today's bits. Most of the papers and cs, inks used are by Stampin'Up. The little girl with the cupcake is by Penny Black.

More cards for today

New cards this week

Just a few cards I've been creating. I love making cards with what's left on my table from other projects. The Game one is for a swap called "Games People Play". You can do alot with that theme..I took the easy way out. lol When I stamp images I also stamp a page full and what I don't use I put in a basket. So these came in handy for the quick 10 mins cards. If you want to see my other art, check out my other blog. http://www.romancingtheartistwithin.blogspot.com Have a creative day. Thanks for dropping by.

more cards from leftovers

Over the years I've accumulated images from swaps on different groups, or saved bits of paper and other embellishments. When I rubber stamp I usually stamp a whole page but maybe only use 5 or 6 of the images and throw the remainder in my basket. So often I like to take all the leftovers and make cards. Here are somemore I've done this week.

Stampin'Up

This starts the new year in Stampin'Up. A brand new catalogue. Colours revamped for the trends of today. All colours of cardstock, inks, ribbons, buttons, brads and markers all co-ordinating. Have you every thought about your love of rubber stamping or scrapbooking and how Stampin'Up could help you launch a business doing the things you love to to do. Ask me about it or see the video on my blog for more information.
