http://scrapsfromabroad.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. Happy Birthday to a True Classic! Today is my father-in-law's 92nd birthday! He has his own room at the Veteran's Memorial and is usually found in his lazy boy chair reading! Ok This paper set is old and I try not to use it, because you cannot get it anymore, as far as I can tell. It's Cosmo Cricket "Halfway Cafe". Love the weathered wood look and the colours! Used my favourite extra large kraft tag, folded in half. Closer look at the inside. At least it's not snow! I was in ...

Scraps From A Broad: Sympathy Cards
http://scrapsfromabroad.blogspot.com/2015/07/sympathy-cards.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Sympathy cards are a challenge. Here are a couple I made recently using watercolour paper. On this one I used Distress Inks and spritzed some water on the inks and then took a heat tool to it to dry. Spritzed some Glimmer Mist on top as well. The flower die cut is called Arianna Sprig from Memory Box, and I used the same birdie die cut, and another Studio Calico wooden heart, inked with Distress Ink Aged Mahogany. Added some sequins and script Washi tape. Starting a 2 week vacation!

Scraps From A Broad: September 2014
http://scrapsfromabroad.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 9, 2014. This is the card/tag I will be teaching at my favourite local family owned paper craft store, The Cutting Garden. Right here in Halifax. I know what you're sayin'! It's more of a winter card. In the card making business, you can't start soon enough to make cards for the holiday season! Some places have "Christmas in July" and "Stamp A Stack" get togethers specifically to make Christmas cards. I actually got a travel size one just this past weekend at a yard sale for a dollar!

http://scrapsfromabroad.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Sympathy cards can be a challenge to make. You don't want to make them too fancy. I have a hard time making "simple" cards. I like to layer.a lot! I dug out my embossing folders. Haven't used in a while. This one is Tim Holtz and it's the Book Cover 2. This feather is one of 6 die cuts from Spellbinders Shapeabilities line, called "Feathers". I cut it out using Tim Holtz Kraft Glassine Paper. Couldn't help myself and did a little layering! Stamp set called, "Thinking of You".
