This weekend I was playing with

My new Magnolia stamp, Scrumptious papers from papermania and came up with these 3 cards on the third card I've added a sentiment....

Here I added a sentiment from elusive stamps using Debbi Moore Designs

"Metal Magic"

"Recycling"

This is one of my creations for a recyle swap on the Shack. We were asked to recycle some bits of Christmas cards, tags or wrappings, to make cards for other occasions.

Here I used the back of a christmas card to stamp my Penny Black Image on, then coloured it using pencils and mounted on some packaging that was in the back of daughters make up set (she was given as a present). I then stamped the music image in timber brown stazon on some co-ordinating cream card stock (stamp is from Tanda Stamps) then mounted this onto a brown card from my stash and added peel off sentiment.

We all had great fun trying to think what we could use different parts of the wrapping for!! needless to say I've got a pile of recyling sitting under my craft desk.

Vintage Book

This was a challange for me as I don't usually do "Vintage" but I had a play and come up with this little book.

Its inspired me to have ago and trying this style out more.

I used Papermania Papers and Cardstock from my stash. Cameo Ladies are from Debbi Moore Designs, the stamps are a mixture from Debbi Moore Designs, Judi Kins and Hampton Art. The small heart emblishment was gold in colour I used a permant marker to change colour then embossed it with Debbi Moore's embossing enamel, the locket is made from fimo rolled really flat and put through my heritage spellbinder plate, then embossed in Crimson copper embossing powder. I also added a few prima flowers, gems and ribbon from my stash.
