Make It Monday #302 with Stephanie - Twine & Ribbon Wraps

 

A card for this week's MIM.

This is a little more layered than I usually make but I like how it turned out.  I used the twine behind my butterfly.  One of my favorite color combinations that I haven't used in awhile.

Make It Monday #301 with Lizzie Matting with Glitter

 

Finally a card for MIM.  After having to mess with glitter several times, I finally came up with a card that I could post.  The frame I created was too large to have it framing the stamped piece because it didn't show enough pattern paper so,  I made a smaller one and popped it up.  I wasn't about to make another glitter piece.  I made mine by using score tape, but it was still a mess.

Lizzie's pretty card.

Make It Monday #295 Z-Fold Card with Ashley

 

The first card I can post that I made at my friend's house.  I'm down in Portland for 9 days for SAF and just visiting and creating with my BFF.   This is the card I made for Ashley's MIM

I came down on Sunday afternoon to beat the Solar Eclipse traffic.  Ran into most of the traffic in Washington.  Got here about 7:40 pm.  We didn't create that night just visited and caught up.

And of course, we had to view the eclipse on Monday morning.  We drove about 20 minutes away and saw 100% of it but for only about 30-40 seconds.  And it was so awesome.  

So we got started crafting late and ran into problems with computers and getting me set up so we could both post without signing in or out.  So needless to say we are having to sign in and out, so if you get a comment that doesn't sound like one or the other of us chances are we didn't sign ourselves out.  Lol....

Make It Monday #291 with Ashley Emboss Resist Shadow Sentiments

 

A card for this week's MIM 

I used PTI's Beautiful Butterflies and Graceful Greetings Sentiment  and did the same for the butterfly as well as the sentiment.  I almost threw this in the trash because I wasn't happy with the 2 colors I used,   These were the DOX inks so I sprayed it and was able to get a salvageable background.

The stripes were MFT BG Diagonal Stripes that I stamped with CP black ink and got a perfect impression with one inking.  Love those inks.

Make It Monday #286 with Stephanie - Coordinating Card Pairs.

 

First of all, I want to say I am so excited because my BFF is coming today for a week's visit.  We haven't seen each other in person since last summer.  Colleen is up here for her granddaughter, Lilly's  VB tournament.  Yeah can hardly wait!!!

I kind of went to town today on this technique.  I wasn't sure what would look good but decided to try all three of these sets to see which I liked best.  I figured as long as I was embossing, I might as well emboss all at once.
