Peek-A-Boo Hanna

This is shows both the inside & the outside of a Valentine's card I made for Hanna Stamps December New Set Challenge. The big keyhole is grungeboard. My favorite part is Hanna's Fishnet stockings. It is made from the black plastic mesh that came with our Christmas Ham held on with crystal effects (it is the craft version of "Spanx").

Unity Journals

I sat down the other evening and made a stack of altered journals. These use the composition notebooks that I was smart enough to pick up on the "Back To School" clearance, so they are super cheep to make (maybe $1.00). I also got a chance to use up a bunch of the Heidi Grace paper I have been purchasing and hoarding. I love it all, especially the velvety cardstock.

Stamp: Unity Stamps - Mustard Seed

Crafty Secrets Ornament

This weeks Crafty Secrets Challenge is to make a project and include three items beginning with the letter "B". The Pyramid box ornament is a free download template found here: The little butterfly/fairy is from the Crafty Secrets - Fairy Enchanting Heartwarming Vintage Sticker set. I added little brass wings (you can find these in the doll making section of craft stores - I use them on EVERYTHING).

Tag Punch Starburst - Easy Technique - Give it a Try!!

This weeks Splitcoaststampers new technique is a tag punch starburst. I made this card with bits & pieces from my scrap bin because I was sure it would be super complicated - I WAS WRONG!! Very easy - give it a try!! Hopefully I will get the time to try again now that I know what I am doing!! Check out the fabulous examples found here.

Charlie's not naughty - he's high spirited.....

I love this Charlie Image from Whiff of Joy!! This is my submission for their current Challenge to make a Christmas Card with no red or green. I CASED the falling snow idea from Cindy Haffner's bunny seen here on Splitcoaststampers.
