Club Scrap Celebration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Celebration Blog Hop.  Congratulations to Club Scrap for their 200th Monthly Collection!  Now you can blog hop by clicking on the links on the Club Scrap blog.  .

I always start out the month with my Club Scrap digital kit.  


Here's a scrapbook page I made with some of the fabulous items in the digital kit.

This kit has some amazing overlays to play with.  (The orange and blue remind me of Bronco colors!)  Go Broncos!  

When my Club Stamp kit arrived after the 20th of the month, I dug into the box and made this card which is a slight variation on one of the Assembly Line Cards.  I love the silver glitter paper in the Club Stamp Kit!  I used Club Scrap Metallic Silver ink on the black paper.  I used one of the Greetings Sentiments and the Swirls stamp are from the Art Nouveau Stamp.

Cards In Envy White on White

It's time for another challenge on the Cards in Envy Blog.  This time we are asking for cards that can be any theme as long as they are  mostly white.  Your card must be A2 size (4.25 x 5.5 inches) AND flat enough to fit in an envy for mailing.  Here's what I came up with.

The flower and leaves are from the new Stampin'Up! Botanical Builder Framelits.   The birthday sentiment is from the new SU Rose Wonder stamp set.  I used shimmer cardstock and a Cuttlebug Tropical Bloom EF for the background.

Hop on over to the Cards in Envy blog to see what the other Design Team members came up with.  Then link up with your White on White cards!

Happy Crafting!

I am adding this to the Outlawz Challenge "Twisted Thursday" anything goes with a twist (no twist).

Cards in Envy Shiny New Year's Challenge

It's time for another challenge on the Cards in Envy blog.  This two weeks we are asking for New Year's Cards or Cards that have sparkle and/or shine.  I recently received a Heidi Swapp Minc Mini (a machine that will put shiny foil on any laser printed image).  I found this New Year's sentiment on Pinterest and proceeded to play with my Minc.  I am pleased with the results and love the fact that any digital sentiment I have can be made to look so pretty!

I added some SU Gold foiled vellum and a gold shiny ribbon to finish off the card.  Come join us on the Cards in Envy blog to see what the rest of the design team has done and then link up your cards!

Happy Crafting!

Top Ten Cards for 2015

The top 10 cards tradition began several years ago when Operation Write Home was still operating.  Every January 1st we would post what we considered our top 10 cards for the year.  So to continue with the tradition here are my Top 10 for 2015 in no particular order.  You can click on the image to go to the specific post for that card.
  
Enjoy and Happy New Year!
