Adrienne’s Red, White, and Blue swap

So I wish I could use the words Adrienne used to describe her card!  The words were perfect.  Anyone remember?  LOL

Anyway, it's a great card with a great interpretation of the red, white, and blue theme using a non-American image!   It is one of my favorite stamp sets Artistic Etchings.

May’s Technique Club Projects

Here are the projects the girls made last night in club.  They all feature new items in the current Summer Mini.  My new favorite stamp set, The Open Sea, along with the fun Elegant Bouquet punch.  The little tote is perfect for holding a gift card, small candies/treats, or Ghirardelli squares like I gave each club member!

Sheila’s Red, White, & Blue swap

I love the interpretation Sheila took on for the red, white and blue challenge.  And isn't it funny how you can look through the catalog a hundred times and still not "see" a stamp set?  I had to ask her if it was current or not!  LOL  It totally is and it's totally adorable!  It's called The Nicest Things.  And isn't it funny how many used the Square Lattice embossing folder with the Big Shot and it looks great on all sorts of projects!!  Love it.

Tracy’s Red, White, and Blue swap card

Here is yet another great red, white, and blue card!  Of course I'm always bias to stars, stripes, bling, and ribbon and this has all of the aforementioned!!  Tracy did a great job with the challenge, don't ya think?  She incorporated a lot of punches, namely the large star punch, 1/2" circle punch,and the scallop edge border punch.  The Big Shot was also used with the Square Lattice embossing folder for the Real Red layer.  And of course some jewel rhinestones! 

Strength and Hope in Pink (finally)

I promised you I'd show you the Strength and Hope card with pink sponging and I'm finally doing that!
