JAI Challenge 151 - Shaped Card

 I've seen a few piano cards on Pinterest and decided to have a go at a Piano Easel Card with Music Notes under the 'hood'.

Once I had cut out the right grand piano shape, it was really easy making the 'keys' with the Word Window punch.

"All You Need Is LOVE" Double Layout

This is my double layout in celebration of my nephews' wedding back in February.  One of my sister's favourite things to say/philosophies is "All You Need Is Love" so it was totally appropriate to use that for this layout.

 It really was a lovey dovey wedding and it was easy to see how much in love that the newly-weds are!

Christmas Card Trio

I've seen some lovely Big Shot Scallop Circle Easel Cards (wow that's a mouthful!) on SCS and other SU! Demonstrator blogs and thought it was about time I had a go myself. Quite simply, I was amazed at how easy they were!One of my favourite techniques to use this year has been the Colour Spritzer Tool. It's only $29.95 and teamed up with a $6.95 Stampin' Write Marker, creates a wonderful effect on cardstock. The kids love playing with it too (under supervision of course)!
