| After making my own cards for about a year, I have now decided I should scan them so I have a record of what I have made. Did this one last night for my sister in law and hubby who are moving into a new house. This is the front. I used corrugated paper on the top bar with a fiber rope.

| This is the inside. By the way, I love Magic Mesh!!!! I bought the alphabet stamps a couple of weeks ago and really like the size of them. Great size for cards.

| I have an aunt who is turning 90 in a couple of weeks. Here is the front of her card. I have started using ribbon quite a bit now for the fronts of cards, and love this one. Got a roll of it at Costco for next to nothing.

| Anniversary card inside. The red/yellow glow you see is weird. That paper is actually silver metallic, so it did some weird thing in the scanner. It has a bit of blue fiber attached to it, under the saying, which is raised with pop dots!!!

| I especially liked the last two cards. I like the mulberry paper with the dried flowers. Very pretty. I have a couple friends that are really into the "Stampin Up" thing, this one gal designs her own paper and everything! Way to complicated for me. I just slap my pictures down in a album and hope my spelling is correct. (grin)

| I like doing batik -- haven't done that since high school. We did fabric. I'd like to learn to do some on paper! |

| ggd Love your cards. I am new to scrapbooking. I am trying to do albums for my boys who are now older. I have tons of pictures and it can be very overwhelming. I don't have alot of time and that can be fustrating. Scapbooking I have found takes alot of time. I bought and bought a ton of stuff last year to get started. There's a store here for scrapbooking that always has "garage sales" and you can get some cool stuff very cheap. |

| Finally getting back to doing some cards. I think I will be like other people and make a whole pile of cards at one time, so I'm not in a big panic when somethign does come up.
First card of 2009: I edged the card with gold ink but am not really a big fan. Would have been better on a different colored card.

| Inside: I like using the matstack papers that are a bit textured. They are so nice to work with and a great size. The hummingbird is a rub on, and is set up with pop dots. Just a sticker border that I used there. I love those fine sticker borders, and I can't hardly find them anymore. The greenery is also a rub on. I like rub-ons but they are expensive. So I stock up when they are sale!

| I like that card. I think the gold looks fine. From what line did you get that hummingbird rub-on? I really like that!

| HI ladies. (by the way, my name is Glenda, not Marsha! : - ))
The hummingbird rub-on came from Michaels, I think it is called Royal E-Z Rub-on Transfers. I have some of birds, sunflowers, and some beautiful butterflies. I like them a lot.
The IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY is a rubber stamp, but I have used a Marcy Uchida marker on it, rather than ink. I love using the pens, since they stay wet longer, and you can use more than one color at a time. I often find that ink pads do not do a great job, although I do use them sometimes. I did a card this week with the same stamp, used a copper ink pad, and even though I pressed really well, the whole design did not come out clean. Hence...the pens!! |

| Glenda (sorry!), Thanks, I will look for those rub ons - very pretty.
I am not familiar with the marcy Uchida markers or using markers at all on rubber stamps. So I will look into that as well since I have had 'coverage' problems when using stamps.
This sharing is great! |

| Oops, I did a spelling boo boo!!! It should be Marvy Uchida. Here's a link to what they look like:

I like using these way better than the inkpads! |
