The Free and the Brave 2

This is the second card I made from using this set - again inspired from Katie's Niche. I had a glossy silver paper where I used the Encore silver pad and silver embossing powder to make the dog tags. I used the start punch for the pop out stars. I made these for the farmers market next week.

The Free and the Brave

Working on some patriotic cards this weekend. I like the way this one turned out. I used the water color crayons and am really liking those. That is my favorite way to color now :) I cased this card from Katies Niche.

Independence Day

This is one of the cards we will be making in club this month. I also made some Celebrate cards to have on hand for the Farmers Market as we had inquires as to Patriotic theme cards. Since it will be after the 4th I changed the saying. This was cased from a swap I received at my uplines May regionals.

Altered Clips

These are so easy to make out of your scrap designer series paper. The ribbon dresses them up a little. Makes it hard to go back to old office supplies :)

Table Top Scrapbook - It's A Boy

What a busy week this one. Worked on getting things prepped for the Farmer's Market. It was a great event. This table top scrapbook along with the girl scrapbook went right away. I will make some more for our July 5th booth. This is made from 1/2 a Simply Scrappin Kit.

Welcome Frames

I received a Welcome frame as a door prize almost a year ago. From that time I knew I wanted to make one. I loved the way it looked. I also thought it would be a great name frame as well. So for Father's Day I made my dad one. The Welcome ones will be sold at the Farmer's Market. And if Alicia is reading this - I know what you are thinking... Where is my name frame :)
