Remember 9/11
I am sorry this is a day late for the 10 year anniversary, but still we must remember.
Laurie Tolmasoff is from Beaverton OR. and she remembers every year. She makes ATC cards every year. This is the one she sent to me. It did arrive on Saturday, but I didn't come to the store until today-sory Laurie.
The ATC card is layered on a gold mirrored card stock.
The images are stamped on a natural colored card stock. The city scape is from VivaLasVegaStamps, the stamp with the totals she had custom made and the 'Remember' is one of ours.
Great ATC Laurie and thanks for remembering.

Good Friends like Angels
I started out with a photograph. One of my favorite kind of pictures are trees, so I picked this one. I cut out the opening for the saying with Spellbinders.
I stamped and embossed the saying.
I layered it on the same card stock I stamped the saying and then on glossy black to match the embossed words.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Straight From the Heart Cookbook
Currie made this really cute cookbook. This could be given as a very nice gift to friends or family.
She has used some of our new stamps.
She colored the images with Copic markers.
The book is made out of chipboard. On the cover she glued on the card stock on the chipboard. Currie used a corner punch to round the corners.
Currie stamped the 'Straight from the heart' stamp on white paper then glued it to one of Tim Holtz's Fragments. Once it is dry cut around the plastic fragment. It adds a nice touch for an embellishment.
This is the inside cover.
On all of the pages she used the blank recipe stamp.
She added the stamp in the lower right corner that is blank on the stamp so you can add different images.
Currie added the bowl stamp.
This one she used the carrots.
The cupcake was used on this page and she added dots so it looks like candy dots.
A strawberry was stamped in the corner.
Currie stamped the jar and added the word 'sauce'.
The jar is blank so you can put any word on it you would like, such as: jam, jelly, or anything you like.
This is a great stamp for a meat recipe.
Currie made a lime out our 'doily' stamp.
I love the idea and it really works for a lime.
And this is the back cover.

A Cup of Coffee
All of the stamps are from Crackerbox Palace stamps.
The coffee cup is embossed.
The frames are cut with Spellbinder dies.
I inked around the saying lightly with brown ink.
The coffee beans are the embellishment.
And a cup of coffee sounds good right now.
Have a great day!

Freedom & Peace
I wanted to make sure I got this out in time for the 4th of July since June is flying by. I think this is a card that could be used any other time not just for the 4th.
The stamps are new from Crackerbox Palace.
The center image is a single image and colored with Copic markers.
The flag and saying are also new and colored with Copic markers. and cut out. I put them on cream colored card stock.
The stripes on the bottom of the card as well as the stars and stripe on the top are cut from the border of a 12x12 piece of paper.

Happy Father's Day in water
Here is the other one I forgot to post so it is also late, sorry.
The blue background card stock was embossed with the Cuttlebug embossing folder that is suppose to be branches. I put VersaMark over the embossed areas and then clear embossing powder.
The image and saying are some of the new stamps from Crackerbox. I colored the image with Copic markers and cut it out.
The saying is cut out with Spellbinders and inked around the edges.

Happy Father's Day
I am so sorry this is a little late, I thought I scheduled it to post.
Well, if this gives you any ideas, just change the Happy Father's Day to Happy Birthday or Thinking of You.
These are some of our new stamps from Crackerbox Palace. I made something quick and a little on the plain side since that's what my dad said he prefers so I thought someone might also like a quick card. The watch and knife were stamped, colored with Copic and cut out. I tried a punch at the bottom in hopes it wouldn't make it look to 'girly' and then used the silver dots.
I hope everyone had a great Father's Day!!!
