Summer Sings!


I love the joy that this photo and LO express!  Most supplies are from Club Scrap--paper from the Come Sail Away kit, sentiment stamp from the Just Dandy kit, and stencil from the Serenity kit.  The long strips of paper are from my stash.  Background stenciling was done with Dylusions sprays.  Gems are CTMH, droplets and chipboard embellies from my stash.

I'm entering this in the sketch challenge over at Stuck!  If you like it, I'd appreciate it if you would leave me some love in the comments.  Thanks for looking!

My Take on Club Scrap Cards

     I am such a bad blogger!  It has been about a month since my last post, and I had planned to post Christmas cards every day for you.  OH, WELL!  lol.  So, the best monthly scrapbooking club in the world--Club Scrap--also has a monthly card club called Greetings to Go.  This year, they teamed up with the amazing watercolor artist Swarup Murthy to create special Christmas kits for both scrapbooking and cards.  Of course, I had to get both.  And never being satisfied to follow someone else's directions, I tweaked the cards a bit.
     The first thing I did was to use the GORGEOUS Club Scrap ribbon with my Bow-It-All from Zutter to create bows to jazz up the front of the cards:




     When I had used up all the CS ribbon, I headed to my stash to find more ribbon.  I am having a blast making bows this year.  Here's what those look like:



     The next thing I did differently was that I didn't use the black panel with the green panel to frame the art.  (If you look above at my first two cards, the art is framed with red and black panels; the third and fourth cards have dark green panels only).  Although I love the way the black looks with the red, I didn't think it popped with the green.  Or maybe I'm just old and can't see worth a darn.  Whatever.  That left me with 6 black panels which was more than enough to trim down to frame all the sentiments to go inside the cards which made them pop which made me very happy.  Take a look:


 
You get everything you need to make twelve 5x7 cards with this kit.  They are beautiful and elegant and a snap to assemble (even when you change or add stuff like I did).  Check out the Greetings To Go club at Club Scrap!

The Nutcracker

Here is my last 5x7" card for a while.  I'm still using the G45 Nutcracker Sweet collection.


The blue organdy ribbon is from my stash, and the bow is made on my Bow-It-All.

Sugar Plum Fairies

How about a pink and purple ballet card for Christmas?




I have to admit that I love this ballet, but I have seen it so many times, I probably don't want to ever see it again.  Still, I am loving these cards!  Hope you do too!

Clara and Mother Ginger

More cards!  Anyone like ballet?




The top card has a bow made with organdy ribbon on my Bow-It-All;  the bottom card has a fun fur bow.  Which bow do you like?
