Inkin with Val

Susan did a frame for her family name and used some cool colours. The photo really does not to this frame justice as it is really beautiful in person. The texture of the different papers gives the stamped lettering a great background.

Melanie also stamped a frame for her daughter Kelli. The Pink Passion and Mellow Moss are coorinated with some printed paper. Buttons and ribbon are also used to accent and give dimension.

Joyce created this for her daughter. She used a combination of earth tones and cranberry/burgundy which are just up Carolyn's alley. Carolyn's name is stamped in bravo burgundy using the Letterpress Alphabet. The buttons scattered and the Cranberry Crisp stitched grosgrain add dimension to the whole project.

Here are the rest of the name frames from last month's Stamper's group. I am so sorry it took me so long to get them up here. This "Home Sweet Home" is the creative genius of Barb. She stamped the letters using a retired alpha set, and then mounted each on on a square. The squares were then mounted on a background sheet. To set it all off, she tied coordinating ribbons around the frame.

Yes, I am finally uploading a completed class. Both groups did a great job with their frames, and everyone was so excited with what they had created. So many more ideas came out of what they did and I'll bet about half the gals will make another frame soon. Anyways, in no particular order, the first batch ... except that I will show mine first ;)... I made this and have it on my desk at work... Where I work is a large call center and when I was still on the main floor, I had to share (horrors) my cubicle with another agent. Now, we have moved upstairs to the mezzanine and we have enough desks, so I no longer share... don't get me wrong, I don't mind sharing, but my desk space was sort of personal. Anyways, I hope you like these and will send some comments for the gals! This next one deserves a little explanation and maybe Fiona will make a comment as to what exactly the acronym stands for. Fiona works in a hospital and is a Nurse (yeah for nurses!) This acronym has somethin...

Here again is another swap card. This one was Created by Wendy Jacobson and really the scan does not do it any justice. It is so beautiful in real life, the floral layer is coved with a beautiful shimmer of dazzling diamonds. I have just not had enough time to get things together here for my blog. Time just keeps floating away on me. Of course I am busy reading on all sorts of blogs, make sure you check them out... Some of my favourites are listed here along the side, quick and easy for you to check.

I sure hope you are enjoying these. No one ever comments and I am starting to feel like no one is even looking at these. Anyways... here is a couple more from the swap I hosted in Dec. The first one, created by Anne Jobes, the scan really does it NO justice.. the white "friends" actually has a layer of "diamond dust" on it and is really goregeous in person. I may try to take a photo of it instead... This one was created by my good friend and downline, Lori Landy. She showcased the tags really well and the colour combinations are very cute. This card was made using "Small Saying" from the Winter Mini
