MME World Travel Series: Open Seas

Those OWH folks inspire me all the time... All. The. Time. I read this post on using 6x6 packs to make a stack of cards. I was so inspired to get started. I love my 6x6 packs and really need to use more and hoard less. In one night I made 5 cards - 4 sketchs in 3 hours. I really enjoyed the process. Over the next few days (weeks if I keep going) I will share what I made. Here is the paper pack Teresa Collins designed it for MME...no wonder it speaks to me! I love her style.

I used Stampin Up's Open Seas for that little compass just simply layered on circles... Hope you enjoy and are inspired to dust off a 6x6 paper pack and get started! And Mojo Monday's sketch #150

Missing your Granny?

I went to bed with a new book and the intent to read a bit and sleep. The book had a sweet old lady who made me think of my Granny. She was an amazing woman- a steel magnolia who never lived in the south, with the spirit of a Gypsy, to be sure. And those in the know - knew... she had a crush on Randy Travis. When we went to one (of many) of his concerts, she was tickled pink to be able to read LEVI on his back pocket. You haven't lived until you see your Granny swoon.

Any rate... I couldn't sleep so I got up with the intent to make one card and go to bed. I stumbled on this crazy image someone sent me in a swap. Being new to Copics coloring - I had put it way to the back. But tonight, I thought Granny needed some color. I had NO IDEA what sentiment to put on this gem. I wanted to put WHAT? But I didn't have any stickers sheets. So, since my Granny's birthday is only a few weeks away - that is what I went with. I realize our fearless OWH leader is not going to like this card very much. But I just know some Hero is missing his or her Granny, too... And Granny won't be the tiniest bit offended to hold a hand written card from her Hero so far from her kitchen table.
UPDATE... took the birthday sentiment off and swapped it for 'Thanks a latte' makes it easier for more folks to use ;)

Rounding it Out

  Most of us use that corner rounder like it is going out of style, but I hadn't seen this look before.  Just simply cutting two strips and lining them up in the corners instead of layering and rounding the inside edges.  Direct to paper stamped sentiment, some coordinating brads and a great piece of seam binding from the Paper Bag Lady on etsy.  

Definately ways to step up this design, but the basic concept of the corners rounded to the inside is really appealing to me.
