Close as a Memory

July 8, 2008 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Mary and I worked on challenges about a week ago and this was one of the cards I made from a sketch (which I absolutely cannot find now!) and we had to use Kristina Werner’s colors of Regal Rose, Purely Pomegranate, River Rock and Wild Wasabi.

I really enjoyed this sketch and decided to use Close as a Memory since it fit in the oval so well. The scallops surrounding the oval are 1/2" circles glued to the back. I markered the flowers with Regal Rose and then highlighted with Rose Red. Them stems were done with Garden Green since we don’t have In-Color markers (I wish!!!). The background polka dot paper is from Cutie Pie. I finished with the Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon and a trio of rose-colored mini brads below the words So Sorry from Fundamental Phrases. Maybe it is a little bright for a sympathy card…guess I’ll have to keep it for the next time I tick off my hubby. lol!

I’m going to get off here…I have a class coming in about 45 minutes. And, thunderstorms are coming this way! I’m always paranoid that my computer is going to get hit!

Enjoy the evening!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 18 years and had my 17 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

We created a new Gifts of Good Taste Collection with SIX packaging ideas along with our favorite (and easy!) holiday cookie and candy recipes! It is so nice to give special hand-made little gifts to co-workers, neighbors, your mailperson and UPS drivers! We’ve used a variety of Holiday Catalog Stamp Set and Dies for our decorating ideas, but you could mix the packaging up with the stamps and dies you already own…the recipe and package design is what is most important! This Gifts of Good Taste Collection has step-by-step picture tutorials featuring SIX gift packaging ideas using Stampin’ Up! products with corresponding recipes you can quickly make up and give away!
