Well Hello There and a Happy Canada Day!

Well here I am again. My poor blog has been ignored and neglected. I have been busy. I have a lot of excuses, but I am not going to bore you with them, I am just going to show you all the cards I have been making. A couple of them are for Operation Write Home and one I think I may enter in a challenge. I am hoping to get more quality craft time in, but that is a never ending battle in my life.

Anyways, I have found an old camera, so I don't have to use my IPod to take pictures. I also downloaded Gimp, which I like so far, and have been using it to watermark my images. So here are my cards:
Here is the first card. For this I used:
  • Stamp- The Greeting Farm "Mermaid Anya"
  • Coloured with- Copic Markers
  • Paper- K & Company Scraps I had, Bazzil Textured Black cardstock
  • Inks- Memento Tuxedo Black, Distress Ink Weatered Wood (Behind Image)
  • Embellishments- Yoyo (handmade by me), Rub on (unsure of were it's from), Flat back pearls (Dollarama), Paper Doily (Wilton)
 
Here is my second card. Here is what I used for this card:
  • Stamp- Kraftin' Kimmie "Goldilocks"
  • Coloured with- Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencil Crayons
  • Paper- K & Company, Bazzil Textured Brown cardstock
  • Inks- Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Embellishments- Fiskers paper punch boarder
  
Finally my third card. I made two of these for Operation Write Home. Here is what I used:
  • Stamp- My Favorite Things The a la mode "Miss You a Latte"
  • Coloured with- Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencil Crayons
  • Paper- K & Company Scraps I had, Bazzil Textured Brown cardstock
  • Inks- Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Embellishments- none
I am planning on making some more Operation Write Home cards this weekend. It is a long weekend here in Canada (yes!!!) and I have a little more time to craft. So hope all you Canadians enjoy your mini holiday. Happy Birthday Canada! And an early Happy 4th of July to all my American friends and family! <3
