Silver Butterfly
This card was designed by Carolyn King who is one of my favorite artisans. In this project she used Washi Tape from various collections to create a background to enhance the color palette. I gave it a try and am pleased with the results.

Global Design Project Challenge
Today's card was a challenge for me. I couldn't locate anything to copy in my normal surfing paces so I decided I would try something original–a true rarity for me. I knew the paper I wanted to use and the color palate but as it happens so often, I was coming up blank with any ideas. So I looked to the GDP challenge blog for inspiration. The GDP is a relatively new blog and I have been watching it for several weeks. I didn't get my card done in time to play along but the fact that I even tried it is a miracle within itself. Here is the design and what I came up with:
Lots of Joy
It Takes a Lot of Steps to Make a Big Hit
I saw the title of this post on a Polaroid marketing page. I believe this is a Polaroid camera. At least it looks like the one my Uncle Chris had back in the day. Either way, the slogan is very fitting for this card as well; Lots of steps of grunging, sponging & layering to make a Big Hit.

Timeless Elegance
At July stamp camp one of my customers mentioned that she would be needing an anniversary card. I recall seeing a beautiful card designed by Amy Koenders and thought it would be the perfect card for an anniversary and versatile enough for any other occassion. I always try to use card designs that can be used for multiple occassions so that my customers needs are met.
Pretty Petals
I found this layout on Google by Sam Hammond Donald, a demonstrator from the UK who live in North Wales. I love how she matched up the coordinating designs of the Pretty Petal Designer Paper Stack to make a delightful card. I used a different stamp set with some paper piercing around the framelit mat to make it my own. You know me and layers. There can never be too many.
By the way, I can't find my camera so I had to use my phone. Probably why you won't see the paper piercing.
