Get Well Panda

Just a little "get well" Panda. This is for a member of HIT group who is recovering from knee surgery. Panda was stamped on cream cardstock, masked then the bamboo was stamped. Colored the Panda's bamboo stick with a sparkly green gel pen. Bamboo tree was done in pencil then gone over with a gel pen. Stamped "Long Life" in red in corner.

Pergamano Swap - January

January's Pergamano swap was winter flowers. I chose to do the Amaryllis. That's the first picture. Second picture is from my swap partner Kay. The background doesn't show through very well, but it's a beautiful green paper. The next layer is the flower only and the top layer is the beautiful frame. I so can't do the intricate cut out work. I guess I should practice more!

Cards Made / Welcome Wagon

WOW! February is here. Not sure were January went. Anyway, I did these cards as part of my Welcome Wagon for a group I belong to. I thought I would just do something simple. I stamped onto plain cardstock using HIT (Hearts In Touch) stamps and did a little coloring on them with pencils. Found "borders" I liked and added those. Went through my chipboard letters and found corresponding letter to animal and attached those.

Another New Year

Can you believe it's 2010 or 2k10 as I've seen and heard. Hard to believe another year has gone by let alont 10! Got the Christmas decorations all taken down and put away. Spent the day getting the house back in order. That also meant I could clean my little craft corner in the bonus room. Then I decided to share it with the rest of the blog world. I decided what better way to start the new year than with a clean work area because it probably won't stay that way for long! There are a couple of things that still need to find a home - like my new Xyron machine. Can't wait to try it out.

Last Present

I made this for my friend's birthday that's on the 26th. This is a CD holder that was sent in the mail and was very sturdy. I covered the front/back with Japanese Washi paper. On the inside left used cardstock and inside right more Washi paper. I stamped on the cardstock. The pink Geisha I stamped on washi paper and cut her out. I used H2Os to color her hair, Obi and tea carrier. Then I used glitter pen for the tea cup. Cut her out and mounted her. The other 2 Geishas are a 3D cut out I have. Boy, some of those pieces were small!
