Happy Camper Card for Operation Write Home Workshop!

Alright, are you ready to see another card we will be making at my workshop this Friday and Saturday?  GREAT!

I can't get enough of this Happy Camper sentiment found on the Camper Crazy My Acrylix, and I think it will be a fantastic card for the troops to send home to loves ones...

Durables Triangles Studs for an accent and the papers from Timberline...

This adorable tree is from the Cricut Artbooking Collection

I still have plenty of seats on Saturday at 10 am, and a couple for Friday!  RSVP and get those payments to me by Wednesday, thanks!  

Happy Camper on the 4th of July

Happy 4th of July! 

There has sure been a lot of HAPPY going on around here lately and I LOVE it!  Here is another quick way to use the adorable Camper Crazy My Acrylix from Close to My Heart. 

I used a Birch Tree embossing folder and popped the panel up with foam tape.  A bit of coloring with our soon to be retired Alcohol Ink Markers allowed me to make the camper exactly the colors I wanted.  I hear that the new Alcohol Ink markers we will be adding to the new Annual Inspirations Book are even more amazing!  I sure cannot wait to try them.  

I also was able to coordinate the colors with a bit of the Creme Brulee Baker's Twine from the retiring Paradise Assortment Baker's Twine pack.

Have you ever used alcohol ink markers?  Our super-cute Stamp of the Month is PERFECT to use with them!  :)

Artbooking Overlays ARE for Cards!

I am soooo glad I got to play more with these overlays from the Close to My Heart Artbooking lately.  I just LOVE wood grain patterns, so THIS one was tops on my list to try.  I paired it up with my Timberline Paper Packet and the super-cute Camper Crazy My Acrylix stamp set and ended up with a fantastically fun card!

Isn't this the cutest sentiment?  I backed it with Kraft CS to keep the palette earthy.  I cut the overlay on Chocolate CS and stamped the sentiment in the matching Chocolate Ink.  I LOVE the fact that Close to My Heart has an entire line of matching CS and inks! 

I created a fun scene on the inside for some added interest.  Check out this adorable set:

I only used two colors of ink, but with first and second degree stamping, was able to achieve the look of four!  :)

Have a wonderful weekend, my peeps!  Anyone going camping?  I'm not, but I WILL be traveling in style in one of these babies out to a family reunion!  :)  See you Monday--a VERY special day!  ;)
