"Wiper" Card -- Unforgettable Papers

It's a bird! It's a plane! Wait...it's a wiper card!

It's my first try at this design, and I'm sure the next will have fewer mistakes, but I'm glad I got up at 6 a.m. after a huge thunderstorm went through and stayed awake enough to create this.

Close To My Heart: Unforgettable paper packet; juniper and sorbet ink colors

The weekend workshop participants might find this one fascinating!

What I will do: make another wiper card.

What I won't do: use the lacy doily punch. Couldn't get my corners clean as a whistle as I would have liked. I'll try a corner rounder to create neater scallops the next time.

It was a fun start to my day, in addition to applying to another health insurance company with the help of our insurance man, Bill -- now I'm crossing my fingers and toes and praying for acceptance for this application.

If you need a great insurance person who goes above and beyond to help someone, Bill's the man. Check out his web site here.

God bless your day real good--

Unforgettable Card Holder & Cards

This weekend I'm hosting a CTMH workshop for participants to make a note card holder and four cards of their choice using the Unforgettable papers and many different embellishments.

I really like the Asian flair with the Juniper, Sorbet, and Blush ink colors, and the Aspirations stamp set.

I didn't do any paper layering on the note card holder--just simple random stamping.

Here's the note card holder closed ...

and open, showing a couple of the stamped envelopes.

Here are a few of the sample cards ... I have eight different ones designed!

And here's a circle card too with lots of Liquid Glass ...

I've been home a week, and am still not feeling totally recovered from our road trip and family reunions. The high heat and humidity have been brutal, and now we're getting the strong winds and rain, with a few tornado warnings now and then. The gardens and yards are very happy!

Hearing the raindrops just makes me want to sleep. I put some '80s Motown music on yesterday and today while I scrapped, and that helped me stay in the groove to get some things accomplished!

Enjoy!

Shadow Shot Sunday

Hello! I'm back after a two-week "holiday" through five states -- I've missed you all and have so much to catch up now!

Be sure to check out Tracy's collages at heyharriet and see the beautiful shadow shots posted there by photographers around the world.

Here are my shadow shots that I took while we traveled:

Three generations walking in the sand along Lake Huron in Michigan's Thumb

The Allis Chalmers tractor and wood piles in Uncle Bill's barn

Friend Connie's personality-filled alpacas on her Ohio farm--this is "Alfredo" with his Italian-moustached-face

Enjoy! And happy weekend!
