Back From Craft and Hobby Association Convention

I have been dragging since I got home on Wednesday night.  Who knew that three hours time difference could be so brutal?  Whew!

The Limited Supply Challenge today on Splitcoaststampers was to use anything circles.  I instantly thought of the wagon wheels in the Cowboy Collection on Rubbernecker Stamps.  I stamped and cut out two wagon wheels and fence posts using paper snips and a craft knife.  I decided it would be fun to use the large circle dotted paper in the background to keep the theme going.  The large circle sentiment seemed perfect to use to create a kick stand card. This is my first attempt at using Tim Holtz’s Crackle Paint.  I just couldn’t resist using it for dirt area.  This was a simple card but lots of fun to make.

  1. Your card is fabulous, and the crackle paint looks awesome. I think it is very helpful to see what other people use. Sometimes it is easier to remember what something looks like, rather than the name. It also aids in shopping, you know you are getting the right stuff, because you have seen it. Welcome back!!!

  2. Oh my gosh, how cute is this Kittie. You are so clever in your creations! I love it! I’m so loving the Rubbernecker stamps. I was going through stamps last night and came across some Christmas stamps I ordered from them and haven’t had a chance to use. I’ll have to wait until next Christmas, but I’m going on the site to see what I can get that’s current. I love that they use unmounted rubber. Wish everyone did!
