June Was A Free For All!

Here is the Studio J layout Donna Davis created during last month's promotion and her entry for the drawing for a gift from me. Beautiful! And thank you Donna for allowing me to display it...

Rainy Days

With all the rain we've had lately at least it's given me some time to stay indoors and catch up on cards I've been needing to make. Lots of birthdays in these summer months. I'm still behind though so if you haven't gotten yours yet, hang in there!...LOL! Here are a few I've been working on.. all of these very different cards were made the Wings Level II Paper Pack from Close to My Heart! Thanks for looking!

Recent Projects

Here are some things I've been working on. One is a layout made using a border I did with a group of ladies in Gowanda a couple weeks ago. I challenged them to make their layouts and send me a pic so I can post them and I will draw a name for a prize from the entries. Hoping to be able to post some layouts from them soon. I decided to get things started by posting my own layout. Also, I recently attended a crop and learned from a very nice girl how to make a waterfall card and I am hooked. The other three pics are of the waterfall card we made at a recent You and Me Workshop. We made the card with unused papers, embellishments and the stamp set from the You and Me May special. I can't wait to teach some more people how to make this card.... contact me for a party!

Mother's Day Card

I love the little bee on this card. This particular bee was on one of the Petite Perks sets that I give to hostesses for hosting a gathering in their home. A little liquid glass gives him dimension and makes his wings bend upward adding to the appearance of flight. Our set "Bee Happy" is great for this also. Donna Davis used "A Little Buzz" to make a card .... cut the wings out separately and added a little Glitz Glitter Glue to them for a similar effect. You can check out this card on her blog. In fact, you should check out her blog for sure at http://comopark1886.blogspot.com/. She's very talented and has many fantastic cards and scrapbook pages posted. I like to check it out often for inspiration.

Digital Pages

Yup... I'm at it again! With the special this month I couldn't help but do a few digital layouts. Here is one of the layouts I worked on over the weekend.
