Elijah Posing and Several Samples

I wanted to post this the other day, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I've been too obsessed with uploading pictures to splitcoast. Doing the challenges is so fun and addictive! Plus it is really helping me use products that I usually just leave in the drawer. For instance, I used my Pretties Kit for the first time in a long time on a card and it turned out so pretty. Do you see the pearl in the center of the card?

These next two cards I did for a Sketch Challenge on splitcoast.




I thought it was just so cute when I was trying to take a picture of the card I did for Kristina Werner's color challenge from last week, when Elijah just walks up and poses with the card! How cute is that?! I know his hair isn't combed or anything, but....isn't that a sweet little face?!


This is a card I did using Michelle's (mom2jaben on splitcoast) Artfully Asian set. I copied ideas I've seen on a blog I've been tracking called Kiyomi Krafts I really like her style. I may have went a little overboard with the beads, but...oh well! Also, I don't know if you can tell that some of the flowers were stamped on a separate piece of white and cut out, then popped up with dimensionals!


This is just one version of a card I came up with, featuring the sneak peek set, "Fresh Cuts." I've done this same card in a couple other color combos, as well. On this particular one Groovy Guava is the card base, but it is just a quarter sheet (it does not open up). The white piece is the part that actually opens up! This is really not my favorite color combo, the where I used Not Quite Navy and Old Olive really hits the spot! I guess I never took pictures of that one! Maybe later.






These are Criss-Cross cards. You can find exact instructions under resources on splitcoast.




This is just a card I made with some Ginger Blossom Designer Series paper I had cut up to use with the criss-cross card, but it didn't work out right, so I just made this card with it instead.

This is my version of the surprise pop-up card. Again, find the exact instructions under resources on splitcoast.




Just playing around with the emerging color technique. I bought this set (Fabulous Flowers) just for this techniqe, pretty much. It's a great set, though.


Just another card featuring Fabulous Flowers...

Hope you enjoy!
