OLD WORLD DESIGNS

The journey of creating begins with a spark from deep within. The artist continues on the loom of life and throughout time a beautiful tapestry takes shape and form from the luscious fibres, brilliant gems and precious pearls we encounter along the way....

Classic Elegant Black and White

Here is another card that I whipped up with some of my other cards that I have been working on. This card is simple and elegant with not a lot of fuss. Sometimes in our work, less is more and just does the trick.
I used two colors of wide column card stock as well as a gold shiny foil cardstock for highlights. Spellbinders Pendants, Fluers De Lis and JustRite Square Borders and Sentiments. Inside I used an EK Success corner punch to accent the same matting product that is on the front panels.
Let me know what you think of this card and the Wedding or Anniversary sentiment.

Oh Nuts!! Forgot your Birthday - oops...

Good Day Everyone,

I created this fun card with a new House Mouse stamp that I recieved from Cindy Echtinaw at
http://www.scrappingstamping.com/ I have joined the Design of the Month Club which I find to be the best way to collect these adorable stamps.
This is the February stamp from the House Mouse Design of the Month club selections. And before I sent it out I rubbed some scrumpdiliitious scent all over it - Peanut Butter Cookie scent from Scent my Cards - mmmm, mmmmm, good!
What a fun stamp and scent to use this time of the year when winter is still with us. It gets you in the mood to go sliding or skating on our outdoor rinks and then go home to a cup of hot chocolate and some PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!!

Thanks to Cindy and Kevin for offering these adorable stamps and scents at such reasonable prices. Go on over and check the store for some awesome deals on all the products! I used copic markers to color the stamp and I used Spellbinders Grand Borderability Classic Lace and Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels One on this card. Creating cards with House Mouse is a blast!!!

Here is the companion card that I did with a different paper choice from the same paper collection. Using the same Snowman but coloring him a little differently. These snowmen cards were my one more "Hoorah" before Winter comes to an official close. After this week we will be going into March and then before we know it, it will be coming into Spring...


I like to match up my lining inside the card and I love to make matching envelopes for my cards as it adds a finishing detail for me.

Please leave a comment and of course it would be wonderful to have you added on as a member on my new blog. I will be back tomorrow with my Design Team card.. hint, hint -- Its a House Mouse stamp - YES!!!
