Finished Pieces



This top card is the fanciest one I put together. It was too plain with just the French Script image stamped in black

Image attached: Friendship Blooms Sell A Bration set
Image stamped in Brilliant Blue

I used my cropodile to punch the hole for the eyelet. I forgot to mark the center first so it's off center.

Card piece is Brilliant Blue. Layered piece is Barely Banana










Layer piece is Taken with Teal

Card piece is Certainly Celery





Layered piece is Orchid Opulence.

Card piece is Purely Pomegranate










Layered piece is So Saffron

Card piece is Taken with Teal














Layered piece is Taken with Teal

Card piece is either Barely Banana or So Saffron.

I think it's So Saffron









Layered piece is Pumpkin Pie

Card piece is Appricot Appeal

The butterfly piece is one that program kept turning sideways so I didn't put it on my last post.






Layer piece is Purely Pomegranate

Card piece is Orchid Opulence


On this piece I stamped the images where there were darker color spots

More Stamped Pieces





For some reason this program is turning most of my photos 90 degrees without my asking it to. (I wouldn't even know how to ask it to.)





Image All Natural SU stamped in Teal



But here are some more pieces that I stamped.


Toile Blossoms Set SU retired

Image stamped in Purely Pomegranate









Wonderful Wings SU retired




Image stamped in black

Stamped Polished Stone Pieces



These images on these two pieces are from the Delight in Life set which was from a past Sell a Bration event.

The top one is stamped in Purely Pomegranate, I beleive. I don't remember the color I used on the lower one.






























This image is from SU's Wonderful Wings set which has been retired for a while now.

I made another of the trifold pocket card using another color from the designer prints series by SU.

This one had to be simpler because my daughter is in prison and there are restrictions on the kind of mail she receives.

I thought she would enjoy this card as it is pretty and without layers.

The lower photo shows the card with the insert on which I wrote my message to her.

This card design can also be used as a small gift with candy or anything small that would fit.











I promised last time to upload a photo that shows the inside of this trifold pocket card without the insert.

The paper is SU's Designer Prints Rose Red paper. It is a double sided decorative paper that can be used for all kinds of projects including scrapbooking.

This designer paper is available in several colors.

Art Journal part 2



I was getting pretty frustrated with the way this program posts the photos. I accidentally deleted some of the photos more than once while trying to delete the extra spaces the program kept putting into my post and while trying to rearrange my text. So here goes on part 2....


Above is a photo of the front cover again.






Here's the inside front cover. The back cover looks pretty much the same.

You can see that I wrapped the designer paper over the edges then covered up the middle with different paper.

I added a new first page using certaily celery cs.





  • This last photo shows the back cover.


  • It was a pretty easy project to do. I absolutely love some of the papers they designed for the Cutie Pie set. I have seen so many beautiful projects done with those papers.




I enjoy collecting ideas for stamp sets and for ways to use the designer papers and scrapping kits. Often I copy the project exactly, sometimes I use those as jumping off points to create my own projects.

5 x 5 On Board Art Journal


I don't even know when I ordered this journal.

I have the larger one that I just stamped images on the front of and inside of it because I was too nervous about covering it.

With the helpful guidance of my SU demonstrator I understood that I needed to create an oversize pattern using the spiral punch to create a covering out of paper.


This paper is SU's Cutie Pie. I used Modge Podge to adhere it to the cover piece.
