Made this card today for a 50th wedding anniversary. The satin paper was a remnant from some paper my MIL had used. Border punch is Martha Stewart Doily Lace. Stamp is embossed in Queen's Gold over Gold Brillance ink.



The top card was sent as a graduation card. The recipent is going on a cross-country road-trip for graduation from NC to CA and back. He is stopping by our house, so wanted to let him know "the door is always open". The second I used to send to my oldest son, telling him not to be a stranger this summer since he is living in another town. The Couch, Lamp and Phrases are Close To My Heart "Welcome Home" set. I love this set. I bought it last fall and am just now breaking it out. The card was patterned after one in the fall/winter CTMH Idea Book.

Graduation Card. The embossed sticker is all silver, but I think my flash gave it a little pink on the left side.

Another grad card. I used Glimmer Mist on Chipboard - color Snowflake which puts a silvery blue tone on the chipboard

March Page of the Month

March Page of the Month used a Basic Grey Line - but I'm bad with names. We used the I-top brad maker from Imaginisce. It was cool, but I'm not sure I would get enough use out of it to justify the cost. For me the brads are much larger than I normally use. I would classify them as large, larger, and largest. One thing we did was alot of layering in the tag area. I liked that, but I'm not creative enough to come up with it on my own. We also used some Tim Holtz pins, copper wire and beads.

Page of the Month - April

April's page of the Month - each class is supposed to introduce us to a new technique or product. April's technique was using the file folder fasteners. I kinda liked them and they are great to anchor ribbon and bows to.
