Green Glitter Paper Ornaments card

The ornament die cut is by Spellbinders. I cut it out with Recollections glitter paper, and the gold is by Sizzix. The sentiment is unknown. I added green rhinestones. Thanks for looking.

Just a Note glow in the dark card

Today’s card is SOooo fun. I started by applying glow paste by Tim Holtz onto a stencil by Couture Creations. The brads are by Making Memories. The label is by Recollections. The embossing folder is by Cuttlebug. 

Check out the paper that the sentiment was cut out of. It looks a little different. I went to the recycle bin and pulled out a piece of white cardstock. It’d been die cut, but didn’t cut all the way through. I die cut the sentiment out of a piece of paper. Hence, why there are cut lines on the sentiment die cut.

 Lastly, I tried to ink the edges of the paper, but the paste is gritty and wouldn’t take ink. I must be doing something wrong.anyway. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

February Calendar Layout Nora on the red bench

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I started by matting the pictures on to red cardstock by Stampin Up and added a red border to both sides of the red cardstock. I adhered that red clump to a piece of heart paper by Recollections. The title embellishment is from an unknown company. I’ll try to look at the package.

I made this calendar layout for the cottage. The picture of Annora B. was sitting on the red trailer as it was at the cottage that weekend. Mr Paul told her that she was sitting in my seat. 

Why? When I walk Rusty at home I have to take a pain break and I sit on the same red trailer.

This is another set of spring cards I made to donate  to a senior center. The patterned paper is by Accord Publishing. The black cardstock is from Michael’s and the purple paper is from Studio G. The chipboard arrows were painted with Mr. Huey's paint. I can’t remember who makes the paint.
