A loss of fellow scrapper

Betty Anne, the site administrator and a fellow scrapper from Let's Scrap had passed away on 20Nov2012 after fighting the battle against long cancer . She is loved and remembered by many, though many of us had never met her before. Tributes for her on the site kept pouring in and even on Facebook, as today is her birthday. This card would be sent to fellow scrapper Kathy Perry to consolidate and send to her family. Rest in Peace, Betty Anne.

Let's Scrap 11-7-12


Happy Mid-week to you! I made a simple card using this week's sketch by Eniko, one of the DT member from Let's Scrap. Papers are scraps file mainly from Cosmo Cricket, Fancy Pants. The stamp is from Lawn Fawn's Sophie's sentiment and some washi from Classiky. Hope this is sweet enough for the little girl recovering from a very bad flu. Do come and play along with us this week at Let's Scrap. Remember to tag your creation with sketch number 11-7-12.

Xmas cards mania!

This is a brighter Xmas compared to the previous one. I stamped HA stamp on HA Mid tone Pool ink. Sentiment stamp is also from Hero Arts stamped in black ink from Versafine Onyx Black. This is for charity and I hope the recipient loves this!

Xmas cards mania!

Frosty and double stamping of sentiment - yes, it WAS on purpose :) Looks cold enough? I stamped, embossed the background HA stamp and used Tim Holtz Ice Spruce to ink all over. Surely need more practice on the embossing and blending. All stamps are from HERO ARTS. Sentiment's black ink is from Versafine Onyx Black. This is for charity and I hope the recipient loves this!

Thank you very much!

Card #2 Same stuff - except different sentiment. Again, a simple and quick card made last night. Almost all HERO ARTS products ;P - Stamps and inks (except black ink is from Versafine Onyx Black). This is for charity and I hope the recipient loves this! Made with Let's Scrap card sketch 10-19-11

Tags, tags, tags!



 

Ad-hoc project update - I did this last night, finally completed this project. Lots of reindeers stamped and 7 Versacolor's mini ink pads being used. Last count on good tags - 62pcs, does not include those experiment tags for practise :P. I might have lost count. Anyway, I think I'll stay away on stamping reindeers and any stamp which requires blocking - THAT Christmas word indeed tested my patience and accuracy! Also punching those tags, I must be appreciative of the invention of the Big Bite!
