OK, I know its summer... and I live in Arizona... and all week it will be 105-110 degrees... but maybe a fall card will give us nice cool weather thoughts! Hey its worth a try right?! My favorite part of this card is actually the itty bitty brads. They are so tiny I just love them... but working with brads that tiny can get a bit tricky sometimes... so if you decide to use them on your projects beware!
I am really having a blast using up my scraps from my layouts for cards, I feel like I am making my money go so far and it helps me justify buying all the paper I love so much! :) I do more layouts than cards although I know I haven't been posting my layouts much recently... I will try to photograph some of my layouts and get those up on here soon so you can see where my scraps are coming from.
These cherry stickers from CTMH were so sweet I had to put them on a card. I covered the cherries and leaves with glossy accents to give them some sheen similar to epoxy stickers and love how they turned out. I layered it on pretty thick so it took a long time to dry but well worth the wait to make these stickers a little more interesting.
This was one of my first attempts in using the CTMH glitter rubons and it was so easy. I loved them! The silver shows up great on darker cardstocks but not so much on the lighter ones. The paper I used here from American Crafts isn't technically scraps as I did buy it for cards however, this card was made from leftovers from a different set of cards that I made. The cards I bought the paper for will have to wait a little while before I post them on here so that the recipients are surprised when they get them. :)
It is kind of funny to think about some of the silly things sororities do during rush... bouncing and clapping to make friends is one of them but it's a tried a true tradition that made for some great memories. As seniors we had the fun of not only bouncing and clapping and jumping up and down all day for a week in heels we got to do it on chairs! Luckily no one twisted an ankle or fell off the chairs! And even though our feet were killing us by the end of rush it was worth it to see the new incoming freshman pledges on bid day.
