September - Cards for Maddy (and Melanie) and prizes!

I just saw this and thought I would share it here in Europe. Maybe Maddie and her sister would be excited to get cards from abroad.
see: http://janamillen.typepad.com/this_little_card_of_mine/2012/08/fasdfafsd.html:

This is the card I have sent.

Simon Says Emboss It Challenge Sept. 19, 2012



The scene was white embossed on black paper and then colored in with Promarkers, colored pencils, pens. The black frame was dry embossed.

Timbroscrapmania  Challenge # 54 – Marrone, turchese e rosso
 




I love the Sizzix moveable dies to make cards from. This is the 4 window diecut.
I used corregated cardboard for the base, brown distressed parchment paper for the Tim Holtz saying and a "doctored up" scene I found a long time ago and saved because I thought it was so sweet. Luckily it is red, brown and turquoise.

.............................................................
 
I was having problems stamping on acetate but Snow Cap Adirondack Ink works quite well.
Stamps: Waltzing Mouse Nordic Spring, JustRite Elegant fronds
Paper;DCWV textured cards
Inks: Snow Cap Adirondack Ink, Versacolor Charcoal Pigment
green strip from Letraset

Everyone knows about Christmas mice, but why not Christmas bunnies?





As librarian, how can I not adore the House Mouse Tall Tales stamp?

The card comes from DCWV textured cards. Paper, bling and ribbon are from my stash.

Christmas Card

I have already started some Christmas cards as I vowed I would not arrive at the last minute and have to rush to make some.
I was having problems with this bird stamp as it never seemed to ink up completely, but inking it with Promarkers seems to work fine.


materials used: Pefect coloring paper; old green cardstock from stash ; Inkadinado stamp; Promarkers; ribbon from dollar store

  26. Great cards, Jan. I think I need to try making paper. Ha! another hobby, great. :)

    Crystal Light is a low-calorie powdered drink mix. My husband is diabetic and this gives him something 'fun' to drink. It comes in a lot of flavors so he doesn't get bored with it. The container is a hard plastic with lid. Love those containers.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope this answered your question.

    1. Hi Kelly,
      Thank you. I will see who in my family back home uses it and see if they will send me some of those neat containers.
