..."*Simon Says Stamp Card Kit of the Month AUGUST 2012 FLOWER GIRL"


Yummy colors, awesome doodads, fabulous stamps.  So much fun.  I've only made one card so far with this kit and I can't wait to get time for using it ALL up.

Two more cards from Simon Says Stamp June Kit.

My New Style

Well, new style in making scrap book pages that is.  I started making scrap books about 5 years ago thanks to Club Scrap and their "assembly line scrap book" method, AKA: ALSB.  If it hadn't been for them I probably would never had made a single page.  But this style allowed me to understand and enjoy scrapbooking to it's fullest.  And because of this I have the confidence now to branch out and try other methods, styles and materials.  It's a new adventure and I am enjoying it.  So here is my very first attempt at a looser, free flowing style.

Coffee and Friendship

As I venture into new crafting styles, I realize that half the fun is doing this with friends.  Several of my scrappin' buddies have been going in the same direction as I am.   So my next two cards are dedicated to those friendships and the joy of discovering new materials, styles and where it will lead us.

For Jen and Nancy...

My New Look in Cards

Well this week anyway.  I am having so much fun exploring the elements of Simon Says Stamp card kit from June.   The buttons I made myself from chip board pieces covered in other papers.  I often admire the chip board buttons I see with the interesting prints so I tried making my own.  Quite easy to do.

One more card from this week which is a mishmash of multiple papers, stamps and embellishments from my collection.

I am really enjoying exploring some new looks in my crafting style.  I've never been one for cute but these papers/kits from Simon Says Stamp (SSS) have given me a new outlook that is so fresh and fun.  Here is a first look of what I created last night playing with the July kit.  A few embellishments (lace and wooden items) from my stash were added but all else is SSS.
