Jack and Benny

I’m really pushing my deadline this week, but I technically still have 49 minutes until the week is over!

The good news is, I actually should have another card to post tomorrow or Tuesday!

This is a page I made of Jack and Benny just this weekend! Ahhh, they’re sooo cute! The paper is retired CTMH, plus Desert Sand cardstock. All the accessories are non-CTMH stuff.

This was actually a banner craft weekend for me. I made a lightbox of sorts to make my card pictures turn out soo much nicer. No more glare or weird shadows! Plus I made a fleece tie blanket – it’s almost football season and I found some Seahawk fleece at Wal-Mart that I loved!

Enjoy!

Serendipity Revisited!

Another Serendipity card.

Everything on this card is CTMH.

I also tried something new – a Ribbon Blossum. Pam at Indigo Studio made this tutorial showing how to create this. Her’s look so much better than mine. I thought at first it was because I used primarily grosgrain type ribbon and she used more organdy type, but she went and posted a card today that shot that theory down! I think I’m just not working the ribbon enough, and will need to practice up. I still like the way it turned out, but her’s are much, much cuter!

Recipe:
Papers: CTMH – Serendipity
Inks: CTMH – Chocolate
Stamps: CTMH – Serendipity
Accessories: CTMH – Outdoor Denim Designer Ribbon, Colonial White bigger brads, Chocolate small paper flower, Colonial White brad, Cocoa Grosgrain Ribbon, Twill Ribbon

And, as I’m sitting creating this card, I turn around to this view:

How much cuter can they get than that!

Hip Hip Hooray!

I really like this CTMH set – although I think it may be retired now. This card design is taken out of the CTMH Original Book as well. It’s 8×3.5 in size.

And, on a side note, a cute pic of Jack that I took this weekend. He’s been spending a lot of time under the covers the last few days.
