The Paper Variety Challenge

I found a new site that looks absolutely wonderful - The Paper Variety - and the layout below is based on a sketch there by Jana Eubank for their current challenge.  I have done a few card challenges but this is my first layout challenge. It is starring my middle son Todd from a very long time ago and yes, he still has those beautiful eyes.   The papers are from Close to My Heart - Animal Cookies.  I used Gypsy Wanderings to cut the pennants and Alphalicious for the title.   happy scrapping!

Just Because

One of my favourite kinds of cards to make is a "just because" card - my philosophy is that giving someone a card just because means much more than giving cards only on special occasions.  This is how "Just by Lee" came about.  The easel card is also one of my favourite styles of cards to make and you can find some very easy to follow instructions for making an easel card at Splitcoaststampers ... happy scrapping :)

Paper Craft Planet - Sketch Challenge 3/11/11

I found this really cool site (Paper Craft Planet) that I have just joined and am playing along with one of their challenges to create a card from the sketch below...  I have used DCWV Far East Papers; CTMH Stamps; Martha Stewart Ribbon and the butterflies are Recollections.  Notice how I even managed to add a touch of green in honour of St. Patrick's day!  I think I am going to enjoy this site!  happy scrapping...
