The Masters 2016 - Papertrey Ink Style

Today Lynn, Kathy and I pretended we were master artists as we participated in the 5th annual Papertrey Ink Stamp-a-Faire day.  This year's theme was "The Masters" and the entire day was devoted to famous artists.  Here are some of my creations .  It was a fun day.

New Sewing/Embroidery Area

I moved my Brother Dreamweaver to the office and bought a new industrial packing table with a maple top for it to sit on.  Has a nice large shelf underneath to store thread, my smaller sewing machine and other supplies.  I can also roll my 2 carts from Ikea with supplies, hoops etc underneath it to get them out of the way.  If I need to sit ( I usually stand) I have a folding bar stool that is the correct height.  It has lots of room on top and can even add some hooks to go through holes on the legs to hang some bags.  And the best part I bought it using birthday money. Yea!

Watercolor Poppies from Rubbernecker Stamps

I went to Stampfest last weekend with Lynn and Kathy and shopped till we dropped.  One of my favorite booths was Rubbernecker Stamps.  This is the first card I made using 2 of their stamps. I love how easy it was and how beautiful it turned out.

Three shaker cards

I made these 3 quick and easy flat shaker cards this AM using some DSP ffrom the SSS June card kit, a sentiment from MFT that I had never used and some clear card jackets that I was never going to use.  Easy peasy cards.

Shaker Card for Camp Create

This is my 2nd post for today.  I am catching up on cards for MFT's Camp Create.  Yesterday's topic was shaker cards and I made this cute baby rattle shaker.  Hope you like it.

Camp Create - Die Cutting

Another day at MFT's Camp Create.  Our assignment was to make something with a die cut on it so I used one of my favorite cover plates to make this card.  I also used a flower die and made the vellum flower.  A quick and easy card.

Camp Create - Wonderful Watercolor

Today is watercolor day at MFT's Camp Create.  This is the first time I have attempted to watercolor using a stamp as the outline.  I stamped this large rose in a pale pink then used my Koi watercolors.  I need some practice for sure.

Day 2 Summer Camp

Today's MFT summer camp assignment is a slider card.  This one was a little tough for me to get things lined up.  I know my 2nd attempt will be much easier.
