<br />
<br />
This poor blog is sadly neglected, but not forgotten. As I try to acclimate to running <a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/">Winnie & Walter</a> along with my friend and business partner, <a href="http://starlightwindsong.blogspot.com/">Julie Mogford</a>, I have to prioritize. This means some things must slide including <em>verdigris hall</em>. My energies are going to Winnie & Walter and making sure w&w shines and that is a full time job on top of my other full time job. lol <br />
<br />
<br />
I will try to figure out how to squeeze some time in for my personal blog!<br />
<br />
<br />
I appreciate every single one who has spent even a minute at this blog and giving it your previous attention! If you are interested, you can see some of my attempts at creating on the <a href="http://www.blog.winniewalter.com/">w&w blog</a>. :-)<br />

Long time no blogging. I have a very good reason....<br />
<br />
It's official! <a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/">Winnie & Walter</a> is live and we have a collection on sale, newsletter freebie + coupon, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/winnieandwalter">Facebook</a> Freebie and also a giveaway of the entire collection on the <a href="http://www.blog.winniewalter.com/2013/11/premiere-daily-grind-collection-vol-1.html">Winnie & Walter blog</a>. Don't miss out if you love digital or hybrid crafting!<br />
<br />

For the little moments or those special occasions, this collection has it all. Plus it works with what you already have at home or on your computer! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "GoudyOlSt BT","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"></span></span><br />
I made a few items with <a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/collections/the-daily-grind-collection">The Daily Grind Collection Vol. 1</a> including my first digital layout!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/107234039@N08/10988203045/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dgcv1c by winnieandwalter, on Flickr"><img alt="dgcv1c" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7355/10988203045_f984a5450e_o.jpg" width="612" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a lot of fun along with some tearing of the eyes (Lordy, those puppy paws get me every time!)playing with the elements, journaling cards, wood grain icons and even a little of the papers to create this layout. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the digital layout I went back to making cards. I really wanted to make some cards using some of the awesome stamps I have been receiving from Studio Calico in kits and otherwise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the first card I was inspired by one of Julie Campbell's cards she made for Two Peas in a Bucket using a pocket by Studio Calico.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the Cuppa card kit I chose a pretty soft apricot to pair with the deep wood grain, vanilla and pewter grey. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/107234039@N08/10988363564/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dgcv1b by winnieandwalter, on Flickr"><img alt="dgcv1b" height="556" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5496/10988363564_cf09c4585b_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/107234039@N08/10988412103/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dgcv1a by winnieandwalter, on Flickr"><img alt="dgcv1a" height="640" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3713/10988412103_f2e07469cf_o.jpg" width="474" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I really wanted to pair our new collection with Christmas products. I chose to pick out the wood grain frame to work with the Magical 6x6 paper pad and the cool Peppermint stamp designed by Kal Barteski.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/107234039@N08/10988363594/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dgcv1d by winnieandwalter, on Flickr"><img alt="dgcv1d" height="640" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5488/10988363594_b451f97f59_o.jpg" width="556" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/107234039@N08/11052093545/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dgcv1g by winnieandwalter, on Flickr"><img alt="dgcv1g" height="426" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7315/11052093545_0c060cf5cb_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally I went with the ombre chevron (really love!) as a base for stamps from Studio Calico.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/107234039@N08/10988411353/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dgcv1e by winnieandwalter, on Flickr"><img alt="dgcv1e" height="473" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3690/10988411353_72151be444_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/107234039@N08/11052176656/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="dgcv1f by winnieandwalter, on Flickr"><img alt="dgcv1f" height="425" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7457/11052176656_7c31323e6b_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhoct2013c_zpsd9e5fb12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="580" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhoct2013c_zpsd9e5fb12.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I chose to do a canvas panel again. I love the flexibility and possibilities with one of these canvas panels plus they are a bargain when you buy them on sale at Michael's. A bonus for stampers, the canvas panels are a firm surface that is easy to stamp upon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhoct2013a_zpsc8417880.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhoct2013a_zpsc8417880.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I started by scribbling on some metallic blue, green and purple Gelatos directly onto the panel and then spread the color with a wet brush. Next I added some triangles using the Stamper's Big Brush pen and a mask randomly on the panel. In grey ink I stamped the little witch from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904615064/witchy-halloween-cling-stamp-set">Witchy Halloween</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904611284/witchy-greeting-cling-stamp-set">Witchy Greeting</a> randomly over the panel and dabbed off any excess ink for a faded and subtle look. Using a gold metallic pen and a star mask I added some stars which I also outlined with a black pen. I added some messy sketching with a Sharpie in two corners. I also stamped the owl border from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904603784/halloween-is-here-cling-stamp-set">Halloween is Here</a> on the top of the canvas in grey and then navy inks. Where I planned to put on a focal point I drew a box to create a shadow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhoct2013e_zps0d9eee12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhoct2013e_zps0d9eee12.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
For my focal piece I began with one of my favorite ladies: <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/903658304/heather-cling-mounted-stamp">Heather</a> (to get Heather and all her friends pick up the <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/903643504/women-melange-cling-stamp-set">Women Melange</a> set) to create a witch. I know, I know wicked witch is so cliché, but I honestly could not help myself! I stamped Heather twice, once with navy ink and once with a light grey ink. Using the navy inked image I colored in Heather's hair in dark blue (why shouldn't a witch have deep dark blue hair? Just seemed right to me) and her dress. On the light grey image I colored in Heather's skin and face making sure to make her more eerie and creepy by giving her outlined orange eyes. I cut out Heather's face and neck from the navy image and placed the grey Heather under the navy one. For a witch's hat I cut one out from cardstock, added a strip of green striped washi and painted it black to transform Heather into a proper witch.<br />
<br />
I decided I wanted Wicked Witch Heather framed. I traced a polaroid frame onto some green polka dot patterned paper, cut out and placed Heather inside using dimensional adhesive. I backed Heather with some green damask patterned paper which I stamped with the cute little spider from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904615064/witchy-halloween-cling-stamp-set">Witchy Halloween</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904490434/halloween-friends-cling-stamp-set">Halloween Friends</a> in black ink. To dress up the frame a little I added the little wicked (in case you were unsure of the wicked theme) from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904615064/witchy-halloween-cling-stamp-set">Witchy Halloween</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904611284/witchy-greeting-cling-stamp-set">Witchy Greeting</a>, some patterned paper and sequins that I altered using a handy orange Copic (love my Copics!).<br />
<br />
Under Heather I added a strip of patterned paper cut with a stars die with the negative space backed with gold washi.<br />

I stamped the poem from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904603784/halloween-is-here-cling-stamp-set">Halloween is Here</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904631684/time-has-come-cling-stamp-set">Time Has Come</a> onto white cardstock and then cut out each line and added them to the left of Heather. Above the words I added a die cut star accented with a sequin. Under the words is the witch square from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904615064/witchy-halloween-cling-stamp-set">Witchy Halloween</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904611284/witchy-greeting-cling-stamp-set">Witchy Greeting</a> stamped in black ink and colored in with yellow and orange Copics.<br />

Here is one last look at the finished panel:<br />

Hello there fellow Papertrey Ink friends. I am thrilled to be able to once again participate in this month's blog hop after a month away. I was so excited I even dreamed about making a card for the hop! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This month's theme is:</div>

Here's my wreath project: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/ptibhsept2013a_zps4ad84d66.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/ptibhsept2013a_zps4ad84d66.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After some <strike>crash and burns</strike> failed attempts at wreath-making I finally came up with a super simple design using a frame from <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/mat-stack-2-collection-stamp-set/">Mat Stack 2 Collection stamp set</a> which I stamped 4 times. I then added some dots from the <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/daydreamer-stamp-set/">Daydreamer stamp set</a> and a flower from <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/mini-blooms-stamp-set/">Mini Blooms</a> that I stamped upon its matching die. The sentiment is also from <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/mat-stack-2-collection-stamp-set/">Mat Stack 2 Collection</a>. I added some Stickles to each of the circled...needed a little glitter, don't you think? Last is the strip of patterned paper which has all three of the main colors added under the panel with adhered with foam adhesive.</div>

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, Sept 9th, 2013 on <a href="http://paper-wings-productions.blogspot.com/">The Aviary</a>.<br />
<br />
For my autumn inspired project, I wanted to use the gorgeous leaves found in <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904178324/leaves-cling-stamp-set">Leaves</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904193924/leaf-cling-stamp-set">Leaf</a> and <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904211294/thanks-is-for-giving-cling-stamp-set">Thanks is for Giving</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904220294/mini-thanks-cling-stamp-set">Mini Thanks</a> to create a wreath. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember7_zps463970a6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember7_zps463970a6.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
First thing I traced a circle onto the canvas with a pencil.<br />
<br />
I stamped 6 of the single leaf from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904178324/leaves-cling-stamp-set">Leaves</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904193924/leaf-cling-stamp-set">Leaf</a> and 6 of the flourish leaf from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904211294/thanks-is-for-giving-cling-stamp-set">Thanks is for Giving</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904220294/mini-thanks-cling-stamp-set">Mini Thanks</a> with brown ink onto kraft cardstock. I took out yellow and orange gelatos and colored in the leaves haphazardly and then used a brush and water to blend the colors. After they had dried I cut out all the leaves. I spritzed the leaves with shine mist. Then I added details to all the leaves using copper and red Stickles. I set all the leaves aside to dry overnight.<br />
<br />
For the canvas panel I painted it with watered down metallic blue paints. I stamped the acorn images from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904211294/thanks-is-for-giving-cling-stamp-set">Thanks is for Giving</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904228114/acorn-elements-cling-stamp-set">Acorn Elements</a> in brown ink around the edge of the canvas. I colored in the edges using a gold leafing pen. I painted some of the blue paint over the gold. I then stamped in blue ink the double leaves from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904178324/leaves-cling-stamp-set">Leaves</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904193924/leaf-cling-stamp-set">Leaf</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember6_zps9561f8cb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember6_zps9561f8cb.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I added dots of shine mist and star dust Stickles over the canvas. I them dry overnight.<br />
<br />
On a piece of white tissue paper I stamped the sentiment from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905475654/thankful-clear-stamp-set">Thankful</a> in red and brown inks. I attached the tissue paper inside the circle with multi-medium making sure to put some on the both the back and over it. I stamped more of the double leaves from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904178324/leaves-cling-stamp-set">Leaves</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904193924/leaf-cling-stamp-set">Leaf</a> in blue ink over the tissue paper. In light grey ink I stamped the script from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905150114/text-melange-cling-stamp-set">Text Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905167534/text-cling-stamp-set">Text</a> in different places on the canvas. Using a copic I colored in areas of the tissue paper and also outlined the word "thankful".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember2_zps9e9d3bec.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="381" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember2_zps9e9d3bec.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Following the line of the circle I adhered the leaves making sure to only put multi-medium in the center of the leaf. I fluffed up the edges of the leaves to create dimension.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember4_zpsd6cee45b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhseptember4_zpsd6cee45b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I think this would make a good hostess gift during the autumn season. I chose a blue background to mimic the autumn sky and to allow the leaves to pop off the color, but you could easily change up the colors to make them work perfectly for the hostess' house.<br />

How would you like a gloriously free printable (for personal use) that can be used for Project Life, scrapbooking layouts, cards, gifts or whatever other crafty goodness you can dream up?<br />
<br />
Today marks the debut of Winnie & Walter to the world even if it is a tiny debut! Winnie & Walter will be a small online boutique offering products designed by my talented friend<a href="http://starlightwindsong.blogspot.com/2013/08/big-announcement-w.html"> Julie Mogford</a> and I. We are offering up a free printable (for personal use) on our blogs along with a little inspiration on how we used it. This is to be the first of many printables in the future.<br />
<br />
<strong>We have a whole lot of goodness coming soon so to keep in the loop about <a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/">Winnie & Walter</a>, please follow this blog and/or </strong><a href="http://starlightwindsong.blogspot.com/2013/08/big-announcement-w.html"><strong>Julie's blog</strong></a><strong>!</strong><br />
<br />
Now on to the free Live Laugh Love printable:<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/winnieandwalter">Facebook</a> to receive the Live Laugh Love </strong><strong>printable for FREE (personal use only)!</strong><br />
<br />
Tip: If you wish to adjust the colors of the printables I recommend using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. In Photoshop Elements under <strong>Enhance</strong> pick <strong>Adjust Color</strong> and then <strong>Adjust Hue/Saturation</strong>. You can use the bars to adjust the hue, saturation and lightness as you desire. For more information you can check out this simple tutorial: <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/cg_display.asp?g=4&seed_id=22398">http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/cg_display.asp?g=4&seed_id=22398</a><br />

What to see what I created with the Live Laugh Love printable? Here are few cards for your viewing pleasure:<br />
<br />
Card No. 1<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/wampwlivelaughlove1a_zpsbb10b335.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/wampwlivelaughlove1a_zpsbb10b335.jpg" width="459" /></a></div>
<br />
Today is actually my grandfather's 90th birthday. For the occasion I made this card to celebrate such a momentous occasion. I used the dot journaling card and today banner from the <a href="http://goo.gl/nHAz5W">Live Laugh Love printable </a>with the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/spencer-s-card-kit">Spencer's Card Kit</a>, grey polka dot journaling card from the Clementine Core Kit and a 4x6 woodgrain journaling card by Studio Calico along with number dies from Papertrey Ink. I pulled out the sewing machine and went to town. The last element was a tin pin from October Afternoon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/wampwlivelaughlove1b_zpsb117c3b7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/wampwlivelaughlove1b_zpsb117c3b7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Card No. 2<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/wampwlivelaughlove2a_zps6d0bb918.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/wampwlivelaughlove2a_zps6d0bb918.jpg" width="482" /></a></div>
<br />
This card features the burst journaling card from <a href="http://goo.gl/nHAz5W">Live Laugh Love</a>. It is a mix of things from Studio Calico (like the tag from <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/spencer-s-card-kit">Spencer's Card Kit</a> and the journaling card under the burst journaling card) along with patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pad from the brand new Finnley collection by Glitz Design. I found this collection really fun to play with along with the printables. I also used the happy die from Papertrey Ink which I cut from the Soho Garden 6x6 paper pad.<br />

This card highlights the hello circle which I cut from the burst journaling card of the <a href="http://goo.gl/nHAz5W">Live Laugh Love printable</a> from Card No. 2 (I oh so cleverly covered up that section so you can't tell there is a hole where the hello circle should be). I added it to a geotag journaling card from Studio Calico and a fun and funky piece of patterned paper from the Soho Garden 6x6 paper pad. I notched the panel with a circle punch and added some ever useful black and white twine.<br />

<br />
The notebook journaling card was the beginning piece of this card (I punched a hole through each of the navy circles and cut along the lines to give the notebook edge a bit more interest) which I built upon using other bits from the <a href="http://goo.gl/nHAz5W">Live Laugh Love printable</a> along with a journaling card from Studio Calico I cut up into arrows. I added a sticker from Dear Lizzy's Lucky Charm Accent & Phrase Sticker onto the tag along with a tag from Anna Griffin under the laugh printable. The patterned paper is again from the Finnley 6x6 paper pad. The last touch were wood veneer hearts by Studio Calico.<br />

<br />
I tried to put quite a few of the elements from the <a href="http://goo.gl/nHAz5W">Live Laugh Love printable</a> on this one. The only elements not from the printable are the grey label from Anna Griffin, doily and the ombre patterned paper also from the Finnley 6x6 paper pad. <br />

Monday is a state of mind, right? Because I am posting this week's MOMM on Thursday. Just ignore the day and concentrate on the card.<br />
<br />
You may notice a trend of my using a journaling card (either hybrid or bought) as a jumping off point for my cards lately. Well, it continues...and continues.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm21a_zps0832d6d0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm21a_zps0832d6d0.jpg" width="542" /></a></div>
<br />
I began with a star card from Emily Merritt Designs' <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/free.html">Free</a>. Another amazing digital kit of journaling cards that can be easily printed out for those who love hybrid or left as a digital element.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm21b_zpsf6943501.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm21b_zpsf6943501.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I further embellished the journaling card with printable elements from Studio Calico by <a href="http://www.marcypenner.com/">Marcy Penner</a> (aka Hello Forever). I am afraid these particular elements are no longer available although they may make them available for a special sale like they did on Cyber Monday last year. If you do like the elements I used, I recommend buying the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/digital/printable-journal-cards-shapes">Studio Calico printable files available right now</a> from Marcy Penner (<a href="http://creativebubble.bigcartel.com/">Geralyn Sy aka In a Creative Bubble</a> and <a href="http://www.blinksoflife.com/">Natalia Buntar aka blinks of life</a> also design wonderful printables), buying directly from <a href="http://marcypenner.com/shop/">Marcy Penner/Hello Forever</a> or at <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/digital/">Two Peas at a Bucket</a> for limited edition printables designed by Marcy Penner/Hello Forever there along with other cool printables and cutting files.<br />
<br />
Nearly all of the patterned paper used in this card are from a pile of "older" colorful papers I had cut up into 6x6 squares a while ago to facilitate their use in various projects.<br />
<br />
Also in attendance is the sewing machine. Why it took me so long to get that bad boy out I am not sure. And why haven't I named him yet (the sewing machine has to be masculine because it is a Brother)? A question for another day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm21c_zps4312cea8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm21c_zps4312cea8.jpg" width="534" /></a></div>
<br />
That yeah ticket is a printable that I stamped the sentiment onto. The photo corner is yet another idiosyncrasy of mine lately. I stamped the frame from Life Framer onto green and cut the corner off of it.<br />
<br />
Hope you have enjoyed this week's MOMM!<br />
<br />
Happy creating,<br />

<br />
Now are you ready to see my spin on vintage?<br />
<br />
You sure? It isn't what you would expect! Because of all the Texas themed stamps available from Paper Wings Productions I went a little honky tonk and used the same format as last month with a tag art canvas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhaugust2013b_zps9fdb2938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="546" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhaugust2013b_zps9fdb2938.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The background began innocently enough. I started much like I did for <a href="http://www.verdigrishall.com/2013/07/paper-wings-productions-july-design.html">my sea inspired piece from last month</a> with some stamping, distressing of the edges and drips of mist. Then I keep on adding distressing, images, color and a little bit of patterned paper. Somehow it looked too dark so I added globs of gesso in a haphazard way with a strip of cardstock as an applicator. Mist started to spread, I used a heat embossing gun to do some quick drying and added more gesso. Then I scraped off gesso. I added more stamping, ink, patterned paper stars and the like. For the background I used <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/809966871/texas-state-cling-stamp-set">Texas State</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/903637014/deep-in-the-heart-of-texas-cling-stamp-set">Deep in the Heart of Texas</a>, <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/914524324/hanging-stars-clear-stamp-set">Hanging Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905367074/lone-star-state-clear-stamp-set">Lone Star</a> and <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904966044/writing-backgrounds-cling-stamp-set">Writing Backgrounds </a>or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904972524/writing-cling-stamp">Writing</a> stamps. I also added a border using a gold leafing pen.<br />

To add interest in grey ink I stamped the Alamo from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/903416404/texas-melange-cling-stamp-set">Texas Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/801152701/remember-the-alamo-cling-stamp-set">Remember the Alamo</a> and the writing from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904966044/writing-backgrounds-cling-stamp-set">Writing Backgrounds </a>or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904972524/writing-cling-stamp">Writing</a> in brown ink. I tied a strip of brown burlap to the tag.<br />

Behind the middle tag I added a nest of gold thread. And there you have it!<br />

Hello, hello, hello! Today I am bringing you some fun, bright and happy birthday cards for twin boys turning 6. I used printables from <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a> and <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Emily-Merritt/">Emily Merritt Designs</a> along with stamps from Studio Calico and <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/">Paper Wings Productions</a>.<br />

<br />
Don't you love the adorable balloon animal? If you missed out on this one from Studio Calico I recommend buying the equally charming and sweet <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/party-animal-clear-photopolymer-stamps/">Party Animal</a> stamp set from <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/">Avery Elle</a>.<br />

For some variation in the cards I colored in each balloon animal with its own color with Copic markers and changed up some of the journaling cards mounted behind the balloon animal journaling card. I also added the opposite color for a little pop on the photo corner cut from the frame from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905546814/life-framer-clear-stamp-set">Life Framer</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For added dimension on the balloon animal journaling card layer I added some dimensional adhesive under the edges, but not the center of the journaling card. To give the notebook page journaling card more interest I punched holes, cut into the holes and curled up the edges.</div>

With a healthy dose of bright white, I attempted four of the color schemes. I probably should have gone with saturated flowers, but for some reason I did what I did. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tonight I decided to again pull out the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-57518/june-2013-kelly-purkey/Detail">June Simon Says Stamp! Card Kit: Something Awesome</a> featuring the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-57519/dude-kelly-purkey-june/Detail">Dude stamp set</a> by <a href="http://www.kellypurkey.com/">Kelly Purkey</a>. Such a fun kit and I love the stamp set.<br />
This card is all about the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-57519/dude-kelly-purkey-june/Detail">Dude stamp set</a> and Basic Grey's Hipster 6x6 papers and snippets from the kit. I did do a little sewing as well.<br />
<br />
Now let's get to the card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm18c_zpse3f64be0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm18c_zpse3f64be0.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Of course I used a little dimensional adhesive on the card to pop up the dude speech bubble.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm18d_zps78bc7eac.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm18d_zps78bc7eac.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And the last peek of the card:<br />

Are you ready to see what I have in store for you <em>by the sea</em>?<br />
<br />
It just so happens that I am in a nautical mood and luckily Paper Wings Productions has just the stamps I need to make a nautical inspired canvas panel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhjuly2013c_zps114d70bc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/pwpbhjuly2013c_zps114d70bc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I began the canvas by stamping the waves from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/914520924/mermaid-clear-stamp-set">Mermaid</a> on the bottom right hand side of the canvas with grey ink. Then I over stamped the postcard in blue ink from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904966044/writing-backgrounds-cling-stamp-set">Writing Backgrounds</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904980684/postcard-cling-stamp">Postcard</a>. I also stamped the postcard on the top left of the canvas. The last bit of stamping on the canvas was to add several shells and starfish from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905078334/sea-melange-cling-stamp-set">Sea Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905119974/sea-cling-stamp-set">Sea</a>. Lastly, I added some drops of mist and distressed the edges with Distress Ink.<br />
<br />
The finished background:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I stamped the starfish from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905078334/sea-melange-cling-stamp-set">Sea Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905119974/sea-cling-stamp-set">Sea</a> in grey on to a coffee stained tag. The quote from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905078334/sea-melange-cling-stamp-set">Sea Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905084914/seaside-cling-stamp-set">Seaside</a> was stamped in blue ink.<br />

<br />
The lighthouse from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905078334/sea-melange-cling-stamp-set">Sea Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905084914/seaside-cling-stamp-set">Seaside</a> was stamped in navy on a coffee stained tag. I added some depth to the image by using a Copic marker. In blue ink I stamped the cancellation seal from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905150114/text-melange-cling-stamp-set">Text Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905167534/text-cling-stamp-set">Text</a> on the bottom right. I stamped part of the handwriting from <a href="http://writing%20backgrounds/">Writing Backgrounds</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/904972524/writing-cling-stamp">Writing</a> in grey over the seal and on the top left of the tag.<br />
<br />
Right tag:<br />

<br />
I stamped the ship scene from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905078334/sea-melange-cling-stamp-set">Sea Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905119974/sea-cling-stamp-set">Sea</a> in blue on a coffee stained tag. I stamped just the waves a few more times to fill in the bottom of the tag which turned out perfect! I stamped the clouds from <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905082604/earth-%26-sky-melange-cling-stamp-set">Earth & Sky Melange</a> or <a href="http://www.paperwingsproductions.com/#!product/prd1/905127024/cloudy-cling-stamp-set">Cloudy</a> several times on the top of the tag in blue ink to finish off my scene.<br />
<br />
And here is another look at the this seaworthy canvas:<br />

I think this little baby is going to my papa as he also loves the nautical look. I love when something I make can be given as a gift. Win-win.<br />

Happy July and hello there! For today's Man Oh Man Monday I went nautical. Perhaps I am too easily swayed, but I end up being a fan of most trends especially all things nautical. Maybe I just have a weakness for peg legs, sea shanties and scurvy. <br />
<br />
I also printed up some more awesome journaling cards by Emily Merritt Designs. This time around the Ahoy kit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/emilymerrittdesignsahoy_zpsa0d413b7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/emilymerrittdesignsahoy_zpsa0d413b7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I picked out the anchor card. From the one anchor journaling card I was able to create two cards simply by cutting out the anchor. For the first card I used the negative section of the journaling card and the anchor which I cut out on the second card.<br />
<br />
As we are nearing July 4th I decided to pair the blue with some snappy red and white diagonal striped paper.<br />
<br />
Card No. 1<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This time around I began with the adorable smaller tag from the <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/die-simply-tags-everyday-elle-ments/">Simply Tags: Everyday die</a> designed by uber talented <a href="http://waffleflower.com/">Nina Yang</a> (yes she created the sketch above too). I cut 4 tags out of the My Girl 6x6 paper pad by American Crafts...such a sweet collection with pretty summery colors. I added some grey and white baker's twine to each tag. Now this is when things got dicey. I ended up playing around with these four tags a lot. And I mean a lot. Some cards come together quickly and easily and others just don't. This one was hard fought.<br />
<br />
Here's the great sketch by <a href="http://waffleflower.com/">Nina Yang</a> again:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/juneaeiheartuchallengesketch_zps0d959504.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/juneaeiheartuchallengesketch_zps0d959504.png" width="257" /></a></div>
<br />
I decided to emboss the white panel with a nifty honeycomb embossing folder which mimics the hexagons found on the multi-colored hexagon patterned paper. I pulled out the yellow from the hexagon patterned paper and stamped the sentiment from <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/air-mail-photopolymer-stamps/">Air Mail</a> and then die cut it out. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013e_zps0e116fbd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013e_zps0e116fbd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
A little digression, if I may. Mail and travel themes go for my jugular. They slay me. I can't resist them. Seriously, can...<strong>not</strong>...resist. So imagine how thrilled I was with <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/air-mail-photopolymer-stamps/">Air Mail</a>. More thrilled than the camel on hump day. Watch out as I have a We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board coming my way and I have not even scratched the surface on this baby! End of my little digression.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013h_zpsa24943c3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013h_zpsa24943c3.jpg" width="224" /></a></div>
<br />
After placing the tags on the panel I figured what it needed was a central image. I went through chipboard, pages of stickers, cabochons and diecuts until I found a lovely diecut from the <a href="http://www.americancrafts.com/default.aspx?PageID=69&CategoryID=488&ProductID=5548&PPG=2&RootCatCode=01000">Amy Tangerine/American Crafts' Yes, Please collection Bits</a> (die cut cardstock shapes). It was adorable, but not the right colors and a tad big for what I needed. Still it was a jumping off point. (Note to self: next Avery Elle order add <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/petals-and-stems-clear-photopolymer-stamps/">Petals and Stems</a>).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013k_zps4c93a085.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013k_zps4c93a085.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Here's my inspiration by Amy Tangerine/American Crafts from the Yes, Please collection:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013f_zps8df32e5b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013f_zps8df32e5b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I got out a pencil and drew a rose and some leaves in a similar fashion, painted it in with watered down Distress Markers and to get the right tone distressed the flower with Distress Inks. Now I was getting somewhere!<br />
<br />
I adhered everything down onto the white panel. Then I added some aqua blue sequins (needed some sequins!) and some stickles to the flower and leaves just for something extra. Last I adhered the white panel to a yellow card base.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013g_zpsbdc36174.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013g_zpsbdc36174.jpg" width="325" /></a></div>
<br />
Voila! The tale of a challenging card. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for staying with me during my rambling.<br />
<br />
Happy creating,<br />

One is Bloglovin' which allows you to follow blogs and make a very seemless switch from Google Reader. <br />
<br />
I am including a new way to follow my blog through Bloglovin':<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/5643745/?claim=vu4tbduw9hh">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a><br />
<br />
I am also on Feedly. It is also very easy to transfer all of your information from Google Reader to Feedly.<br />
<br />
Both Bloglovin' and Feedly are beautiful. I figure if one way to follow a blog is good than two are better...you just never know which is sort of like packing extra underwear on trips.<br />
<br />
Whatever you decide, make sure to do it <strong>before July 1st</strong> so you can transfer all of your information from Google Reader in just a few short minutes.<br />
<br />
Happy creating,<br />

This was me with <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/">Avery Elle</a> for a few months before I vowed that I would buy something. When they sweetened the offer for their first anniversary with an adorable free stamp set, <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/party-animal-clear-photopolymer-stamps/">Party Animal</a>, I knew the time had come. That stamp set was way too cute to pass up! For your information, the offer is good until the end of this month, June 2013 {wink}. Let me also assure you that their customer service is excellent! <br />
<br />
Avery Elle has a monthly AEI♥U Challenge that I am finally going to enter using this great card sketch:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/juneaeiheartuchallengesketch_zps0d959504.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/juneaeiheartuchallengesketch_zps0d959504.png" width="257" /></a></div>
<br />
I took a chance and went with purple. I decided to mix the purple with a lot of white and touches of grey and silver. Here is what I created:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013a_zps74edb5be.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013a_zps74edb5be.jpg" width="362" /></a></div>
<br />
I used a mix of stamps and dies from Avery Elle and just had fun playing around. I love the <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/die-chevron-border-elle-ments/">Chevron Border die</a> and used the little diamond pieces from inside the die designed by <a href="http://www.jjbolton.org/">JJ Bolton</a> (for more examples on how to use this die and others check out <a href="http://www.jjbolton.org/">JJ Bolton</a>'s blog). I plan on experimenting with this awesome die some more! Another fun stamp set with matching dies are the <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/simply-tags-everyday-photopolymer-stamps/">Simply Tags: Everyday stamp set</a> and <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/die-simply-tags-everyday-elle-ments/">dies</a> designed by <a href="http://waffleflower.com/">Nina Yang</a> (who also designed that cool sketch above). I used the larger tag die which I embossed and stamped the sentiment in purple only to stamp over it with VersaMark and emboss with silver embossing powder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013b_zps7bdcac46.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013b_zps7bdcac46.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For the subtle background behind the diamonds I stamped the ikat chevron (love!) from <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/ikat-additions-clear-photopolymer-stamps/">Ikat Additions</a> in grey. This stamp set is a doozy and under $5.00!<br />
<br />
One last picture where you can see the silver of the embossed sentiment a little better:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013c_zpscd4d0a4e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/aejune2013c_zpscd4d0a4e.jpg" width="278" /></a></div>
<br />
So the moral of the story is that if you have been itching to buy some Avery Elle products I recommend doing so before July 1st or any time really as you won't be disappointed.<br />
<br />
Thanks for taking the time to visit!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello there my friends. How is this Monday treating you? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For today's MOMM I decided to pull out the <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/prima-marketing/139892-arrowheads-6x6-stencil/?filters=_prima_stencil_%2Fmasks">arrowheads 6x6 stencil/mask by Prima Marketing</a>, my ink blending tool and pumice stone Distress Ink to create my own background paper. I added some stamping of the <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/servlet/the-13918/Hero-Arts-Studio-Calico/Detail">Plano stamp by Studio Calico/Hero Arts</a> over the arrowheads for a little more interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm16a_zps441a5bea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm16a_zps441a5bea.jpg" width="351" /></a></div>
<br />
I also printed out another set of journaling cards from <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/hey-there.html">Hey There</a> by my new best digital designer, <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Emily-Merritt/">Emily Merritt Designs</a>. I don't know Emily Merritt, but I sure do dig her journaling cards!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/folder-1630_zps94da8d09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/folder-1630_zps94da8d09.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I first went with the triangle yo. because it is cool and works well with the arrowheads design, but then I did some sewing (or too much sewing) on the card and it just wasn't working for me anymore so I went with the speech bubble journaling card and paired it with the ephemera from <a href="http://www.pinkpaislee.com/">Pink Paislee</a>'s <a href="http://www.pinkpaislee.com/?portfolio=portfolio-collection">Portfolio collection</a> that happen to be in colors that work great with the card (maybe due to my printer changing the colors of the cards).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I rounded one of the corners of the journaling card and adhered the journaling card to the card base using dimensional adhesive. Lastly, I rounded all the corners of the card base.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm16b_zps762fd9ba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb215/verdigris1815/momm16b_zps762fd9ba.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think this card would be great for encouraging some guy either when he's going for interviews, working on a big project or having some troubles at home, school and/or work. It could even be used to say hello.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you are encouraged to create something fun for the guys in your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy creating,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
