SCS Farm Swap!

Hello Hello ~

Here is the card I made for Barb's Farm Swap (SCS) I created. The DSP is from SU! (Parker's Patterns). I used images from Denami Designs (both the chick and the barn). The sentiment is from SU! I also used SU! Ribbon, and silver brads from Hobby Lobby. The Open Circle Scallop die is from MFT (one of my favorites).

Unidentified Image Swap

Hello ~ Hello

I'm here with a card made with images from the April Unidentified Image Swap over on SCS! This month's image hostess is Darlene (luvcardmaking) and she sent us some funny images from Inky Antics! The image is colored with copic/prisma markers (I just re-organized my entire collection and did a color sheet - will have to post that later). All of the pattern paper is from SU! and I used basic grey brads and spellbinders blossom dies. 

Here is the inside of my card, using more of the SU! Patterned paper (it's from a few years ago).

Love is in the air (still!)

It's time for our February Duel ~ Here's what Barb sent us about the details for this month's kit:

Hello Darlings—welcome to our February Challenge.

I (this is Barb) am writing this sheet of instructions for myself to all of the Divas and also for Debbie for all of the Dazzlers. Our theme for February 15th is Feel the Love!

With the post being the day after Valentine’s Day, we wanted the love to continue for another day……………………..

Debbie has stamped the sentiment The Fruit is the Spirit of Love for both teams to use. She is not sure of the company who made the stamp as the name is blurred on the wood. You must use the sentiment on your card, but you also can add any image of your choosing if you want. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and Brown along with Stampin’ Up Real Red

I absolutely loved this month's kit - there was so much pretty red and pink in the kit. Everything Barb sent (which was a lot) was so beautifully coordinated. 

I gave this card to my mom and dad for Valentine's Day last night when we went out to dinner. It was the perfect card for them!

Unidentified Image Swap

Hello ~ Hello 

Here is my card for the 11th round an Unidentified Image swap on SCS.  It is a group of ladies who are a part of a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same image, sent to us by the hostess.  I love the Snoopy image that was provided this month by Jody! So cute! 

Jody asked us to use our own sentiment on our cards, I found a 12X12 sheet of bingo type cards on a grid and thought they would be really cute with this image. All of the patterned paper is from October Afternoon, and I used some SU! Ribbon and Basic Grey brads to finish it off.

Rev Up The Fun

Hello Hello - 

Quick post today, as I have to get ready for the Badger Basketball game tonight at the Kohl Center.  I made this card recently for one of Barb's swaps on SCS - Planes, Trains & Automobiles. This was the perfect chance to ink up some images from a SU! Set - Rev It Up. The red embossed background is a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, and the Black Tire Embossed Panel is from Tim Holtz.
