Well today’s card did not turn out like I pictured it. I wanted to play with a technique I had used quite a while ago. I thought it would be fun to play with the Foxy Oxy technique at SCS. I thought this would make a good background for the sketch Mary Jo has at Techno Stamper. I don’t know if my Oxy Clean was old or what but my background did not turn out…
The challenge this week is to make Mother’s Day cards (details are listed below). I have my first card for you and I really like how it turned out.

I used the sketch from Mary Jo’s…
Happy Friday Ladies! I have 2 cards for you today. The first card is for the Late Night Stampers patriotic challenge. You were to use the colors of you flag to create a card. I was inspired by this card by Chera and by a card that someone made (can’t remember who) that used strips of red, white, and blue at the bottom. I used the small star punch to create a stencil which I…
