Happy Birthday - Over the Hill

I made this card for my step-father after seeing something similar on Pinterest. He's an outdoorsy kind of guy so I thought the theme was well suited for him.

Stuck?! Layout #2 (Sep) - Explore

We are extremely fortunate to live near several US Forest areas and have the opportunity to go hiking whenever we'd like. Almost every time we go we see something new, so I thought this photo of a lone tree would go well with the second sketch of the month from Stuck?!Sketches.

OWH - Sketch #246

Here is my card for Operation Write Home's sketch #246. The background paper if from SU's "Adventure Bound" Paper Stack and the tree is from the classic "Lovely As A Tree" stamp set circa 2001.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! Here is the card that we made at our monthly swap. The stamp is called "Look Up to Father" and the embossing folder is called "Vine Street", both are from Stampin' Up! If you like the embossing folder it's on clearance for $2.39. Have a great day!

Card Swap - Masking Tape Technique

Happy Wednesday! Here is this month's card swap for the Masking Tape Technique. Rather than try to create a faux background or some type of distressed look, I kept it simple and applied the inked masking tape in stripes. I finished the card with a classic stamp from Stampin' Up!, "Lovely As A Tree."

Sketch 3

Well now I'm on a roll and I can't wait to do the next sketch from Shimelle.  Here is sketch 3 with a focus on two photos in two quadrants.  This is also the last of my Gettysburg photos from December so I'll be moving into Christmas for the next sketch (I think).

Crackle

This tag was made by applying crackle paint to the cardstock and then sponging and stamping over the crackle.  The tree is from the Lovely As A Tree set and was stamped with StazOn.
