Places I've Been Scrapbook

 I wanted to create a new journal/scrapbook that shows all of the places I've traveled. In just a couple years, I will be retiring and want to fill it up with all sorts of exciting places. I love travel!

Here's the "cover page" for my new journal using products from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Full details for this project are on the blog today.



Isn't that fun!?  I used circles to create the page and used the BEAUTIFUL Summer Art paper (also from Elizabeth Craft Designs).  Here's a close up of the "two" pages:



This second page was submitted as inspiration for this week's Crazy4Challenge Sketch Challenge. Other than the solid grey and blue papers, the rest of the supplies are from Elizabeth Craft Designs and are listed below.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Merry Bridge Card

 Hi Everyone!  The new challenge this week at Crazy4Challenges is to create a bridge card. It's been years since I've made one, but it was fun doing it again. Here's what I created:


The supplies I used from Elizabeth Craft Designs, like that CuTe Penguin are below. The "merry" stamp is also from Elizabeth Craft Designs, but it's not quite in their online store yet. You can find it NOW at your local craft store. The paper is Tim Holtz and the lace is left over from some kit I had a long time ago. 

Craftily yours, Karen

Slimline Noel

 Today's challenge at Crazy4Challenges is to create a slimline card.  These are so fun!  Here's what I made:


I was inspired by Els's Facebook Live video to create combination glitter/embossing on the flowers.  They are gorgeous. Her version is prettier, so I'll have to try again to have a bit lighter touch on the edges.

Thanks for stopping by, and hope you join the challenge!

Memories

Today is a special day over at Elizabeth Craft Designs. The design team created posts that say "miss you" in one way or another.  Here's what I did:


I stamped on some pretty onion skin paper I have and then stamped it again on a separate piece to watercolor it. Then I fussy cut it and glued it to the original panel. I love love how this card turned out!
