Starburst!!

I LOVE the most recent tutorial on Stars & Stamps! Shannan at Pink Tulle With Feathers And Sequins offered this simple step-by-step technique... PLEASE visit her page and tell her how awesome she is!! (and tell her I said so, too!!)

I thought this card was too pretty to just look at and lay down on a counter or put in a drawer so I combined it with the Easel Card we learned back in June, 2010 (also from the S&S page... I just tweaked the dimensions a little so it would stand sideways instead of the long way!).  This way it can be displayed on a mantle or maybe a corner table!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please leave me a comment so I know you were here!!

OWH Sketch#58-MidWeek-Throwdown-Easel Card

I don't know why, but for some reason I seem to do my best work in the middle of the night! I can sit at my table for literally HOURS during the day, but it's usually close to midnight when my projects finally come together and I have something worthy of posting!

This was certainly the case again today! I worked all day on getting a card together for the S&S Sketch #58 but I also wanted to make a Mother's Day card for the S&S MidWeek Throwdown BUT I also wanted to make an Easel Card!!!

So, here it is...12:05am and it's finally ready... My OWH Sketch#58-MidWeek-Throwdown-Easel Card!

The patterned papers are from my Exscrapaganza pack, the orange paper and stamped sentiment are from Stampin' Up, flowers were bought at a local scrapbooking store, and the chocolate pearls are from Queen & Co (bought them at the Scrapbook Expo!!).

And now... off to bed... I hope!!

Easel Card

I've been seeing easel cards a lot lately and thought I'd give it a shot! I got the tutorial from OWH Stars and Stamps and couldn't believe how easy it was!!

I used a Stampin' Up Curvy Verse for the sentiment, SU rub-ons and background paper, Exscrapaganza designer paper, and a Martha Stewart butterfly punch....

Give it a try... they're so much fun!!
