Swap - Black & Pink

Tonight I worked on and completed my "Black & Pink" swap. I even made an extra!
I used my DSP and ribbon that I got at the flea market this past Saturday. The bottom layer pink oval and circle edges were sponged in black and popped - the circle was popped a little smaller.

Swap - "Masculine"

This is for my 1 4 1 "Father's Day/Masculine" Swap. I decided to just do a masculine while leaving the inside blank to let the recipient use it for how she wants.
On the front main image I used the torn technique and sponged around the sides and edges in blue to match sky. The seagulls were popped up. The inside edges were also sponged.

June ATC - "Music"

Here is my June submission for my monthly ATC swap. The theme is music.

I was able to use my new 1/2" circle punch, music stamps and symphony edger punch. And just in the nick of time: punches arrived yesterday and I had to make all 9 and mail them by this Friday so they'd have to be done by Thursday night. Whew!

The piano keys are popped slightly over the music ribbon; the single notes are also popped.

Now off to finish the other swap card - masculine theme - that's 3/4 done.

Been wanting to post all morning but I have been on the go. Shortly after getting home from work yesterday I went and did some creating in my room. Will show the sparkled card another time. I'm thinking this time next week. Sorry! I don't want the recipient to see it before it's time to see it.
Just left a stamp flea market. Picked up lots of goodies from pretty DSP to SU sets at a great reduced price and even SU ink pads with their coordinating refill at a steal!
Well almost LOL.
Well off to run my last to errands so I can get home and play! :)

Hi Girlfriend!

I thought I would have this as my first blog picture.

I participate in a monthly ATC (Artist Trading Cards) swap with a group of talented ladies in OH. This was my submission of our Black & White theme for this past April.

My first greeting to the blog world

Hello. Well today I spent my lunch hour creating my blog. This was my first insight to anything that has to do with blogging. I was very excited! I owe all this to my friend and co-worker. Thanks, Bree!!! :)

I will try and add to this frequently with different things surrounding my card making passion. I will also add more fun things for you to check out here.

Thanks for stopping by.
