Good Friends

I received the neatest little tag booklet with my October Royal Kit from Queen Kat Stamps. It was the perfect size to put one little photo on each page. So using my fun little Friends stamp set, I put together a little Friends booklet!

Go take a look at the first 3 pages here - along with a small explanation. I should say that I could have added a million more pages but as I searched my computer for picture I didn't seem to have that many of me with my friends. I guess we never think to take pictures with the people we may see or talk to everyday (and if they are long-distance or cyber-friends that's even harder! :) ) but I plan on trying to change that this year!

While you are over there be sure to read this post and this one about QKD's 2nd Birthday celebration! They had a fun little blog hop yesterday but there's still time to get in on the fun - cards made for the challenges have to be entered by Nov. 21 and there are prizes to be won!!

Have a great day!!

Beautiful Butterflies

The weeks is flying folks!! I have a cute, easy little Queen Kat Designs card to share today. The main project I worked on with my October Royal Kit hasn't been shown yet but there were a few goodies in it that I saved for a card. I never would have thought of it myself, but the kit included a couple of iron on images that were so fun to play with - great idea Vicki!! They are nice and thick and velvety, they add great texture to the card!

I started with some Bazzill black cardstock which I cut to make my card 7" x 3.75". I then ironed the long strip down the left side - isn't it striking?! To make the stamped images (from the QKD set, Friends) visible on black I embossed them using white embossing powder. To finish the card, I rounded the 2 corners and added one of the cute black & white epoxy buttons that comes in the kit (I just love them!) (oh and I backed it with a white felt flower to make it pop!!). How simple is that? but dramatic huh?!

Be sure to check out the Queen Kat website - they just had a huge release on Saturday night, 10 new sets!! You can see them all here, isn't that froggy adorable and look at the neat sentiment sets!! Remember to use my special discount code to receive 10% off your order - it's 10JM.

Enjoy the day friends!!

Queen Kat Card!

So as I mentioned a couple of days ago I have lots of fun treats this month!! I was excited when I got an email from Vicki over at Queen Kat Design's asking me to be their Guest Designer for November and I've had so much fun playing with the October Kit she sent me! The kit has lots of fun goodies, yummy Pink Paislee dp, a Queen Kat exclusive clear stamp set, fun embellishments, ribbons and even some iron-on transfers!!

Over this month, Vicki will be sharing some of the projects I made with my kit but here is one pretty quick and simple card I made with a scrap of the dp I had leftover.

But wait . . .there's something in it for you! I have my very own coupon code over at Queen Kat Designs web store and I have permission to share!
