Week4 Summer Card Camp- Thank you



This is the 1st is a series of 3 which I plan on making a full set of 10 for my envelope stationary set. for the measurements of the paper pieces please see the previous posts. Used the same 4 strips of paper for all 3 cards. Again I love the simple look of these. My Sister ask me to make her a set of 12 cards with her initial on them but very simple cards and I got hooked. I love to make the very basic simple as well as a  very intricate card. I have found when the time comes some papers will speak to me and say hey remember me why not combined me with the other paper and then it all falls into place. It is like that with color for me as well. I have always like adding different or at the time some thought odd color combos together before those colors would be popular together like teal and green. I have always had a eye for color and still do. It really shows in my quilts as well as my paper crafting. This is the one talent that I felt God gave me (and i do mean other than being a wife and mother )and I am proud of it.

Week 4 Summer Card Camp -Thinking of you


So this is the 2nd card in the series of three and again the paper is still from the original 4 strips that I cut 12 x 1 1/4, 12 x 1 and two at 12 x 3/4in.  Yet still very simple and sweet....

Week 4 Summer Card Camp. Sunshine and smiles

I really keep this card simple with only two stamps and scraps of paper this is actually the 3rd card in the set of three that I made at the same time. I only used three strips of paper to make all three cards the first strip was 12 x 1 1/4in, 12 x 1in and two at 12x 3/4 in. I used the same stamp from stamp in up. I love how sweet and simple these turned out. I think I am going to make an entire set of 10 for one of my box sets as a gift. But then I am loving these colors.

Summer Card Camp Week 4 and 4 more card to share


I am so loving this color combo and having so much fun with it.
I used my Slice Design card basic shapes it has great quilting shapes such as  hexagons which I used to cut 1 1/2in out of October afternoon, Cosmo cricket and jillibean soup paper. The stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms Sweet Bee I made it very simple how ever I was going to add a butterfly and forgot go figure.... I still have 3 more card to post and share with you. So I will be back in a few to post those.....

Light Houses

My very first time ever seeing lighthouses. I never really appreciated them until now. And wow what a site they are.
this is Ocracoke Abby was able to say the name right before I was and I think this one was our favorite light house or at least the name is.

Welcome to Hatteras we where not able to go up they closed it due to the heat. But Abby can tell you that there are 284 stairs

And last but not least this is Bodie Lighthouse that is  Abby  in the field in front of the Light House.
I think I am hooked I would love to go and see more lighthouses.
