Two Peas Lollipop Flower Swap

I received my flowers from my first swap, they came out awesome. I entered the black, white and one color and the vintage Christmas. Here are two pictures, they came out great, I want to thank everyone, I love them all, fantastic job!!

Scor-Bug, Paper Distressor and MS Button Punch

I bought three new tools that I wanted to try out, the Scor-Bug , Tim Holtz Paper Distressor and MS Embossed Button Punch. I think I'm going to like these tools alot. The Score-Bug, by the same people who make the Scor-Pal, creates little embossed bumps on one side and dents on the other, which you can turn into stitching. The Paper Distressor creates ragged edges to give your paper a distressed look. MS Button Punch is adorable, it creates an embossed button, almost looks real. I"m punching buttons galore!! On these two cards I distressed all the edges and I used the score-bug for the stitching effect rather then the embossed bumps. I used Sweet Treats Cartridge for one layer of the flower and for the button I used my new MS Embossed Button Punch, love this punch! I created the pocket with George and Basic Shapes, the hearts came from the Doodlecharms Cartridge.

Christmas Came and Went

Well December was busy but wonderful like always. I can't believe Christmas is over, but it was a good day. Everyone liked their presents!!! I received 6 cartridges, lucky me, I have such a wonderful family, each of my boys gave me one and my husband gave me two. So my library of cartridges are really growing. One of the cartridge I received was Sweet Treats, after looking at it I wasn't sure it was for me, but I'm in this lollipop flower swap over at Two Peas and one of the flower cuts on the cartridge is great for this. So I think I will be using this cartridge a lot, I love making flowers. Here are pictures of the flowers I made with it.
