This is my card club swap for the "thank you" theme.  I had fun piecing this together using the level 3 hostess set in the current catalog. 

We had fun at card club pressing fall flowers with our big shots/cuddlebugs.  These leaves came from our dogwood tree.  I was shocked at all the red dye/ink that came from the leaves.  Note- - if you try this you need to use the underside of the leaves.  The waxy tops don't let any dye through to the paper.  It is also best to use watercolor paper for this technic.

Thank you card by Roz . . . . . these snowflakes are embossed and look very striking.

Thank you card by Bobby.  I love the flowers.

A closer view of the flowers. . . . she used wire for the stems.

November Stamp Club

I believe this one was made by Jocelyn.  I especially like the little note in the middle of the card, made with a punch by stamping up.  "Thank you" was the theme for our cards in November.

Dela's card.  I love "twiggy" trees!

This is Jocelyn's card.  My camera, (or my photography) just wouldn't do this one justice.  Her scoring and folding and cuting were fantastic!

Terri's Card.  She and I kinda did the same thing this year!  (of which, I'm thinking I don't have a piture of mine! hmmmmm)
 

Oh my!  More Christmas . . . . . but can't remember whose is whose . . . . . darn it!

Father Christmas . . . . . Love the card . . . . . wish I could tell you who made it . . . . I'm thinking it was LeeAnn!

This is Bobby's card . . . . . So simple and Elegant.

Kiersten was a good sport to participate in our Christmas swap.  She always makes her cards but in a different format.  They are always very creative!  Can you believe she glittered all her stars? 

Roz's card.  It has a lot of elements to it . . . ribbon. . . . punching . . . embossing . . . . papers.  I really enjoy this card.

OH BOY!  I actually sent out all of the Christmas swaps this year in MY Christmas Mailing.  I can't remember who made this one, and don't actually have it to look on the back.  Hmmmmmm.  Anyhow, I liked all of the layers on this card and how the center has cut-outs and pop-ups.  Really cute!

Here's another by Jacque . . . . she made two for us, thinking they were "stampy" enough!  Give me a break!  This is cute!  She used punches, and a crimper and wallah!  I like!

October Card Club

I'm going to try something new on my card blog.  I haven't posted since September!!!  Yikes!  I'm going to try to post a card a day until I get caught up. . . . . . so there will be a lot of cards coming.  I'm starting with the Christmas cards, since this is December, but we did them back in October (if I'm remembering right!).

Jacque's Christmas card.  No stamping on this, but isn't it cute?  I like the belt buckle - - a pop (soda) can tab.

September's Stamp Club

This was the "early bird" card that we did at September's club.  The stamp set is a hostess set.  "cute by the inch."  The black is embossed.

This is the card I demonstrated.  The "spot light" technique.

The theme for the swap this month was "fall."  We had a LOT more swaps this month!
