Another swap

I finished a swap a couple of days ago. It's for an autumn JATC swap. I used your basic cheap cardstock for the base, the patterned paper is Basic Grays new Indian Summer. The stamp is from the Close to My Heart Autumn set. It was stamped with Tim Holtz's distressed inks. The brown background cardstock is Bazzil as are the die cut leaves. Die cut by Quikutz. Basic bling.
Despite the way it looks the card is not warped, the scan was. :)

Finished a swap

I finished one of my JATC swaps the other day, the Halloween one. I'm currently working on other projects but thought I'd post a picture of this one. The background was a laser cut I bought from Lorraine's Memories and decided to use as a mask, the background colors were made with Tattered Angels glimmer mist. The little vampire was a stamp set from Archivers and colored with Copics. The pumpkin stamp I got at the Scrapbook Expo and it was embossed with two colors of Zing and then colored in with Tattered Angels and a brush.

Lot's of tweaking

I now know how to tweak my blog but most important how to design it so it won't be all scrunched up on the sides. Rather than redo this whole design I tweaked it but future ones will be designed better.
What do you think?

Testing a new design

I learned to do blog design online on a graphics class. It needs some tweaking. Okay a lot of tweaking... just the side columns.

New banner

I'm trying to learn xhtml but it's a slow process. So to cheat a bit I made this banner in PaintShopPro today. I wanted something with a valentine look to it. Eventually I want to
be able to design my whole blog myself.

I made the cutest cards at an Archiver's class this month and I promise to scan and post them.
Sorry to not post for so long.

Well my grandson is here to spend the night and I've got to make dinner.

What's that?

What's that header you ask? Just something I threw up there for the time being. It's actually a collage I made in PaintShoPro. Do you like it?

I'm a hippie at heart

I had to make a card for a swap I'm in with a new group I joined. I really like "hippie bella". In the 60's I was a bit of a hippie.
