Cardmaps - Day 2

My card was first inspired by Tim Holtz - He's having "Twelve Days Of Christmas Techniques" he is so awesome! So I just found the site but he's only working on the second day.
So I played and made the tag and then made the card following the pagemaps. It took me a bit out of my comfort zone but I had fun!

Play

I broke the rules for this layout. I just had fun and added what I wanted where I wanted to add it. First let me tell you about the embellishments
The Lace, the little "acrylic" looking buttons, the "rick rack" was chipboard I covered with pattern paper, the arrows and photo corners I cut up and covered with pattern paper, Color Box Dark Moss ink,the HS stamp and the MM note worthy are all from the Embellishment Studio.

Prima Flowers and Birds, Queen & Company flowers and brads and Clear buttons are from Foofala.

Khalila & Isabella

Alicea, over at Two Spotted Dogs posted a Basic Grey Sketch and since I already had my Basic Grey paper out I decided to try it. Here is my version of that sketch.

Quick Card

The other night I took my "scraps" from a kit to the dinning room table and as my family watched T.V. I made cards. I made about 7 cards in 2 hours. It was nice being with them but still doing "my thing."



These scraps belonged to another TSD kit - A day at the Park July 2007. I had fun and I'm completely done with this kit. I think. I might still have enough to make a few gift cards. I still need to add the sentiment to the other cards - after I do that I'll share the rest.

Quick Story

When I travel, I have always taken along with me a Rusty Pickle Folder album that I made in a class. I never travel without it! Never. So when I was packing a few weeks ago to go on vacation, the night before we left, I realized I did not pack my little album. I searched high and low for it. I even recruited the help of my family. I just cannot imagine where that thing might be stashed away. Well, gosh darn it, it might be bad luck to travel with out my families pictures close by, right? So, four hours before we packed up the car I was in a mad dash rush pulling pictures of my family. I came across this little album. I've had it for a long time but I don't know who makes it. I attached a large hanging decoration I purchased at the dollar store and I pulled my favorite Two Spotted Dogs Kit - Romance Novel. It has everything in there I needed to complete this little book in no time at all. My husband thought I was nuts - creating a mini-album right before we have to leave - LOL. I assured him it be done in not time.
So I took a few pictures - the layouts are simple but I really loved having it with me on vacation. There are alot more pages in there.

Please note the "Owl" on the first page. Is he not the cutest? I got that last month from The Embellishment Studio
I received two - I'm working on something really special for the other one.
