Hello Hello

Today I am sharing a card I made for a Birthday Swap on SCS.  I used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch, and flipped the sketch on the card on it's side as shown below to make it work with the stamps (You're My Hero - SU!) and papers (also SU!) I wanted to use:

February Duel - Umbrella Day

Hello Hello ~ 

It's the 15th of the month again, so it's time for another duel between the Divas and Darlings. Darlene is hostessing for the Darlings and I am hostessing for the Divas.....We decided that since February 10th was National Umbrella Day, we would use this as our theme. 

I sent the divas some images to play with, one being Sophie from Whipper Snapper Designs. I found her last year when some of the Divas and Darlings got together for a girls weekend :) Hoping we can plan something for the summer..... :) Love ya'll so much! 

I used this week's Deconstructed Sketch for my card I really love this sketch! My card base is 5.5" square.

Friend-"Ship"

Hello Hello ~

Today I am sharing a card for a new bi-monthly swap I am in on SplitCoastStampers - Sisterhood of the Traveling Cards.  My friend Barb invited me to become part of this group recently. I'm excited to join yet another friendship through crafting .

Every other month, there is a new hostess and theme. The January/February theme is hosted by Kelly, and the them is to "Get Naught-y". This is what Kelly wrote about the theme:

Indeed that's what we are doing this month - getting *Nautical!* Since most of you know my obsessive love of the ocean, and to get you out of your cold months and winter snow, let's create cards with a nautical theme! Think lighthouses, sailboats, anchors, maps and more, let your creativity flow and your heart 'sail' ♥

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

We use our own stamps, paper, accessories, etc for this swap. I chose an older SU! Set - Boatloads of Fun. I stamped the boat image on cardstock and cut it out. It's been so long since I have used it ~ it was down in the basement where most of my wood-mount SU! sets are now residing. Here are the rest of the supplies I used for my card: 


Patterned Paper: Authentique
Accessories: MFT Polaroid Dienamics, Real Red Striped Stampin' Up Ribbon, 3 heart punch (SU!)
