Fun on vacation making jewelry

I made this bracelet for my niece while I was here. I had gotten the charms from making memories when they had a warehouse sale. 

Cards for my mom

So I am in Illinois now visiting my mom. I always make some cards for her to give out when I see her. Here are some of the cards I did for her.

Most of the other cards were duplicates of ones I had done for classes. I did these so she would have some more manly style cards. The stamps are from a new set of stamps I got for Sale-a-braton from Stampin Up.

The last card class before I left on vacation

Here are the last cards from card class. This is the same as the card I did earlier. I did the same card again for class. 

 The Circus card was designed after paper I got at Tuesday Morning.  I had the tickets on hand. I had gotten a roll of the tickets from the dollar store. The words were designed by my daughter Sarah.

This is on the inside. 

 We are trying to do a Christmas card every month.  That way when Christmas comes, we will at least have 12 cards. The image was done with My Digital Studio.

I did this last card with a die I got from Paper Wishes. I am in the dies of the moth club. The presents are a EK punch. The pattern paper was from Tuesday Morning. 

Birthday Cards

I am still trying to keep the goal of cards for all my husband's family this year. Well, at least the nieces  nephews, brothers and sisters. Here are the most recent ones.  Simple. Quick... but still nice.

The technique on this one is sanding the embossed core paper. Love the effect. 

A variety of cards from card class

We did these cards in February fro card class.  I printed the words and tree with My Digital Studio by Stampin Up. I love my new program.  The paper is also from Stampin Up and currently on clearance  I believe.  

This next card is also done with Stampin Up supplies.  It uses the pinwheel dies, Top Note die, and Stampin Up card stock and paper. The words are my own. I just printed them. It says "Just blowing by to... (and inside) Wish you a Happy Birthday."

This simple card was done with paper I got from the clearance rack at Staples.  It was designed for wedding invitations. Beautiful paper.  The set even came with the ribbons. The words are a new stamp I got recently. 

The next two cards are done with a kit I got from Stampin Up.  I added the brads because it is a better clasp.  I traced the envelope so I can use the pattern later. 

Rest of February Swaps

Here are more of my February swaps for Just Cards. 

This one never made it there.   The image is from hÄnglar & stÄnglar. A friend in Sweden got it for me.  I hope it shows up someday.  I colored her with Copics.  The card style is altered Tri-shutter. 

And this is my sketch card. Meg Farris designed the sketch.

Here comes a big catch up!

I am way behind on posting here and plan to do some major catching up. Since not may come by to visit, it shouldn't be too annoying.

This was a Green and purple swap card for JustCards. The punch is from Stampin Up.
