Crate Paper Cards

I recently came across this 12x12 piece of Crate Paper in my paper stash.  It's from the 2006 Carnival Collection, and is called "Merry-Go-Round" (in case you were wondering).  It caught my eye right away as I am very much an "orange" kind of person.  I turned it into 4 cards for a bunch of different occasions.

Ladybug Card

Last night after the boys were both in bed, and hubby was watching hockey on TV, I took the opportunity to go down to my "scrap area" and see what I could come up with creatively.  I was inspired to use my Ladybug stamp I bought from Wal-Mart some years ago.  The Flourish stamp is from Autumn Leaves, and the sentiment and background stamps are from Stampin Up!

Cards using Scalloped Punch

Here are a couple cards I made recently using my new Mega Oval Scalloped Punch by Marvy Uchida.  I bought the punch at my local scrapbook store awhile back, and I really love it.  I am looking forward to making some more cards using it.  I think it looks really nice on a basic 5.5" x 4.25" card.

Paper Bag Album

I am so excited to post these images of a paper bag album I made at a workshop on Monday night.  I cannot take credit for this project, Jacqui Hoogstra from Stampin Up came up with this original design, and I just love it.  I have great ambitions to make a few more and give them out as gifts.  My plan is to fill this one with black & white photos of the kids, and give it to someone as a gift... can you guess who? lol.  And Jen, as you posted in a comment yesterday, the bracket trick I showed you with the Round Tab punch, is on the very last page of the mini-album.  You can find the Round Tab punch on page 183 of the SU Fall/Winter Catalogue.
