• More Crafting in the Car Samples

  Just thought I’d share a few more cards I made while we were on our way to Ohio (see post below). These first four were made using a 6x6 paper pack from My Minds Eye (only available in the UK- I got mine HERE) and a few random dimensional stickers (topiary and butterfly). The next two cards were made using a 6x6 paper pad from Stampin’ Up which was only available during the Sale-A-Bration promotion. I curled the edges on the one card and created a fringe on the edges of the other card. I also added a felt embelishment from EK Success. I’ll be adding a sentiment to these cards when I’m ready to use them. I made these two cards using paper from KI Memories Celebrate Life collection and chipboard letters from Making Memories Animal Crackers collection. I used the scallop circle punch from Stampin’ Up to punch out the designs from the KI Memories paper. I also added buttons from the Animal Crackers collection to the center of the scallop circles. It’s so nice when everything coordinates. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the crop tomorrow!!! Posted Apr 22 2010, 10:45 PM by Canda with no comments

• Papercrafting on the go!

  We took a nice road trip to Ohio this past weekend, and since I knew I would be trapped in the car for at least 10 hours, I decided to bring along a tote bag full of supplies. This is nothing new though, I do this on every road trip longer than a few hours.It’s my own personal limited supply challenge which helps me get quite a few projects done quickly since I don’t have that much to choose from. This time I brought a 6x6 paper pack from My Minds Eye (only available in the UK- I got mine HERE), a 6x6 paper pad from Stampin Up, KI Memories papers, K&Co. fabric brads, a few spools of ribbon, buttons & brads, scallop punches, and a few random dimensional sticker sheets from Making Memories and K&Co. I also brought inks and stickles but only ended up using the brown ink, so next time I’ll just bring that. I didn’t bring any stamps, so I’ll add the sentiments to the cards as I need them. I felt like I got a lot done and it definitely helps to pass the time.   Posted Apr 20 2010, 11:32 PM by Canda with no comments

• Featured SCAL Blogger – Jamie Lane Designs

  Jamie began scrapbooking when her daughter was born 10 years ago, but it wasn't until her first Disney vacation in 2006 that she became obsessed.  She began card making just over a year ago, which is where she found my true passion. Jamie loves creating cards!  She is currently designing for Scrap Within Reach, P K Glitz, Sharing Memories Scrapbooking as well as for the Practical Scrappers and Frosted Designs challenge blogs! Jamie has shared an adorable project that can be adapted for any occasion or season. She is even so generous as to make the cut files available on her blog. Make sure to visit her blog and leave her a comment when you download the cut file.
