I had some left over paper and I just love the colors. I just got this stamp set from MFT and thought that I would also do the challenge in the new book from PaperCrafts magazine.

I actually made this card by candlelight and flashlight. Not bad for being just about blind.

I Love you!.. You make a difference!

I am starting to work on my card swap cards before I go back to school. I know that I will be jammed and therefore having a little time now I thought that I would work on them. This is the August collection which we had to make a birthday card. the challenging technique this month is using your initials of your name come up with your design. My initials are "L and S" so I came up with Sunflower, color lemon, and Speckled.

Spinner Card!

Spinner card it is.

With the new Die-Namic from MFT called Pinwheel and stamp set I decided to make a spinner card. I think it came out very cool. I decided on purpose not to use double sided paper to add some contrast to the such dark colors. The white pulls everything together. The technique is easy peasy.

All you need is two pennies and pop dots with a window punch and spin away!
First you make your spinner. second, adhere with a glue dot to the center of the back of the spinner a penny. Put two pop dots on the back ( The SU! pop dot work the best their circular). Then punch on your paper with the window punch and lay that mechanism on it and flip it over and put the penny on top of it and watcher slide back and forth. With that panel you have to pop that so that the whole flat mechanism has room to move. PS. The sample with the window is my boo boo card please don't mind the smudging of the sentiment. I threw this one out. Thanks :)
