Swap Cards

Sorry to be MIA for so long. This month has been super busy at work, I feel like I always say that, but this time I had to go into the office for a week and immediately after that my boss went on a three week vacation so we've been distributing her work amongst the 4 of us in our department. The good news is we've all learned a lot these past few weeks. We're all ready for vacations of our own, good thing the holidays are quickly approaching.

Here are my swap cards finally! I joined a swap on Paper Wings to get some inspiration. I just adore Cheery Thought! I knew I had to use it. I paired it up with Miss Moxie paper. I was going for a different theme card so I chose "Hooray for you" as the sentiment.



The other card I made used Joyful Ornaments and Penelope paper. I used transendence embossing powder so the images would stand out and I like the way it turned out. I like the bold rich colors of Penelope for a Christmas card. I'm thinking about making some more cards similar to this one, but using Reece paper instead.


Halloween is fast approaching and while some are anxiously awaiting trick-or-treating, I'll be celebrating my Angel-versary! This year will be three years with the angel company and I'm still loving it as much as I did when I first started. There's a gathering in Waco in January I might look into attending, need to check with the hubby.

Have a safe Halloween! Don't get too spooked and be sure and brush after all that candy. ;-)

Altered Letters

I've been wanting to make altered letters ever since I found out my step mom painted my step brother's and step sister's rooms. I want to say last summer Lizzy helped me paint the letters. Josh's room is painted green and blue and has a camping theme and Katie's room is painted lavendar and green and has a flower and butterfly theme. I worked on Josh's first because I had all these ideas in my head that were waiting to jump on the letters. Here's how they turned out:
The J is covered with bug paper because when I think camping I think of bugs galore. LOL The O has fire, chocolate and smores because camping's not camping without 'em!

The S has a sleeping bag, tent and a pair of hiking boots, all necessities while camping. I actually learned how to tie some knots via youtube so I used some twine at the top and bottom. The H is covered with water paper and has two fishing lures glued to it. I originally wanted to hang fishing line from the H, but these were too cool to pass up since they glow in the dark. I figured Josh would like that. Now to work on Katie's. I should have those to share soon.

Have a great weekend! I'll be out of town next week so I probably won't post again till I get home.
