More Cards

Happy Holidays!  I'm finally on Christmas vacation and am looking forward to getting caught up on some things and taking better care of myself.  I hope to make blogging a big part of my vacation - we'll just have to wait and see.  I wanted to post a few more cards today from the cards I gave my mom.  Again, I have a cluster of three very similar cards (almost identical actually).  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.  Until then...Happy Crafting!

 

 

 

 

I tried to do an accent cluster on this card.  I like the effect - I was trying to channel the work of Christine Middlecamp (see links in sidebar).  I think I have quite a bit to go before I feel comfortable with the cluster technique.  I'm glad I took the leap on this card.

 

Bad Blogger

I want to start out this post by saying I've been a bad blogger.  I'm sorry for being gone so long.  In all honesty, I will probably be pretty sporadic through the end of the year.  However, I will be back in full force in January - or at least that's what I'm telling myself right now.  I sent my mom's box of cards for her friends last Friday and I have a few to post here today.  I took 13 pictures in all - so I'm going to post over a few days.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday.  Until then...Happy Crafting!

 

 

I think the three branch out cards would be perfect to submit for Variation of a Theme to Take Ten magazine.  Too bad they need originals!

 

This was my favorite card hands down.  I love coloring images and Basic Grey paper - a match made in heaven.

 

This card was completely out of comfort zone but I LOVE the end result.  Sometimes it's good to color outside the lines.
