Tinkerin' Paper Sampler

I thought I'd share with my paper crafting friends the Tinkerin' paper sampler that I made for the swap that I attended last Monday evening in Ohio with my super upline Deb Butler and her Scrapping Buckeye Babes unit.

It was my first swap and I loved it! We each made 3 cards to show and provided kits for participants, an altered item to show, and provided the paper samples for each participant.

The robot is on an 8 x 11 paper (he had to be big to use the 2-inch paper squares!).

I felt like I had survived a marathon card making evening after 4 hours, and it was so fun to play with all the new papers and learn a few techniques too.

Today I must write, write, write, as I have a July 6th deadline for a curricular piece, and it's a good thing that I LOVE Mondays! But it's so hard to stay inside on such a gorgeous day...I'm taking the laptop to the deck so I can hear the birds and feel the breeze.

I'll post the swap cards soon--

I'm Still Tinkerin'

Two altered acrylic photo frames with wallet size photo mats

A photo frame side view

I altered a CD jewel case for my dad for Father's Day, trying to create a Beetle Bug on the front, with "fun" and smiley face buttons for its wheels...use your imagination, okay?

Inside will be a CD and a playlist of some of his favorite songs.

I have a little more tinkerin' to do yet...

Goodnight!

Trio of Tinkerin' Cards

The first two card designs are from the new Wishes card-making resource book by Jeanette Lynton--if you enjoy making cards, be sure to click here to order yourself a book!

I love the bright colors in the Tinkerin' paper packet!

The third design is my own & the inside sentiment says "get well". I used the Versamark stamping/heat embossing/inking technique on the background.

Have a great new week! Happy paper crafting!
