Look at this beauty---and a New Home Keychain

Isn't this card just AWESOME?????? I thought so too! No---It isn't one of mine---the very talented Pamela Smerker designed this card for the Papercrafts Idol contest. She used my Framed Flowers set (Gina K Designs) on it and I just think that it is stunning. I asked Pam if she would mind if I showed off her card on my blog.

Pamela won a top 20 spot in the contest with this card. You can check out her card (and the rest of the finalist cards) for the next round here. Don't forget to vote!!!

Congratulations to all the finalists in the contest!!!!


Here is a little project I created with the new Papertrey Ink set called Boards & Beams. Since we just moved, I thought it would be a cute gift for my dh----to keep his house key on.

I stamped the house image on white cardstock and on a piece of cardboard. After coloring and cutting out the image, I adhered it to the cardboard using Modge Podge. I stamped the sentiment on the back on the key chain, sponging the edges to make it look like wood. After the project was assembled, I used my Cropadile to punch the hole at the top for the key ring. Then, I applied a layer of Modge Podge over the key chain.

Here is a view of the back:

I love how this sentiment is done---mixing the different fonts.

Materials used: Stamps-Boards & Beams (Papertrey Ink); Copic markers; sponge; olive, choc chip and cocoa classic markers (Stampin' Up!); brilliance black stamp pad; cardboard; white cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Cropadile; Modge Podge; key ring.

Finally, I would like to let my sweet friend Carole know that although I am on a bit of a hiatus right now---I SEE EVERYTHING---paypacks are coming! SNORT!

Hope you are having a GREAT summer!
