The inspiration for this card came from the cover of the Spring (2016) issue of <u>The Stamper's Sampler</u> magazine. The paper is from DCWV's Nantucket Stack. The image is a Julie Nutting doll (Marisol). Since I can't tie sailors' knots, I die cut an anchor (Hero Arts) and put itin the corner. I had fun paper piecing her dress and shoes.

During my break from school this August, I decided to clean out my craft room. It took 3 DAYS! While cleaning out a cabinet I found this card kit. I received the elements to make this card in a kit swap I participated in years ago. I used Copic markers to color the image and chalk to color the background. I think I'll set a goal of completing all the card kits by December 31 of this year. I probably have at least 20. We'll see how I do.

I really need to use my Cricut machine more. So I thought I would follow Cricut's example and post on Thursdays a project I created with my machine. I used the Art Nouveau cartridge. This image is Rose 2. The sentiment is from a Paper Pumpkin (Stampin' Up) kit and the paper is by Recollections (Michael's brand). Thanks for looking!</div>

I thought it would be nice to post on my Anything But a Card projects. This is an altered cigar box. As fantastic as SU DSP is, I'm still hooked on Graphic 45. This is from their Steampunk Spells line. The sides of the box were covered with K and Co. Halloween paper. I used Tim Holtz box feet and some items from his Ideaology line. Thanks for looking!</div>

Today's card was inspired by <u>The Stamper's Sampler Take Ten</u> June/July/August 2013 issue. On page 67, a technique, "Perfectly Painted," is discussed. I thought it was an interesting way to add a little dimension without adding bulk. I used a fuschia acrylic craft paint and I believe the sentiment is by Heidi Swapp. The paper is scrap that I had. Thanks for looking!</div>

I decided to return to the blogging world. Hopefully, I'm here to stay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would start by promoting Stampin' Up. I did start my card making hobby when I attended my friend, Carol's Stampin' Up workshop. I had so much fun. Ten years later I've decided to become a demonstrator for this wonderful company. Today's project:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paper: Coastal Cabana and Whisper White card stock, Winter Frost DSP</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ink: Basic Gray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stamps: Petite Pairs, Christmas Collectibles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Misc: Silver 1/8" Ribbon, Christmas Ornament Punch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
