It's a Jungle In Here!

Hi Everyone!

Some days just feel so crazy. Today was one of them! Kids, school, health, or lack of it, doctor's appointments, nurses, needles - Ugh!!! Needless to say, it was a jungle of a day!

Here is a card from My Screen Door collection. This card features stamps from The Angel Company, Wild Animals set. The sentiment is also from this set. When you open my door, it says "Its a jungle in here!" Well, don't that just say it all! Thanks for taking a peek thru my door!

Have a wonderful evening!

{Supplies used: Stamps from The Angel Company, Cardstock from DCWV, Prismacolor Pencils, screen door template, vinyl screening from hardware store, brad - misc. source}

First Day of School and Oldie but Goodie Stamp!!!

Today was the first day of school for my kids! They were so excited, but secretly I was excited a bit more! My sweet Kindergartener (1/2 day, blah!) gave me the sweet gift of 2 1/2 hours to myself. This is what I found to do - write another blog post! Here is the sweetest card made with an oldie but goodie from The Angel Company stamp, Kevin! Although retired, you just cannot help but think how sweet a flower from this sweet boy would really be - maybe that's what us stampers like - uh, the world we create on paper! Sometimes it is just a little nicer a place than if you look at all the yucky stuff in the world today! Check out my Etsy store if you'd like to purchase this card or other Screen Door Designs!

Oh well, Pollyanna here is going to be glad to share with you my Screen Door card with Kevin! Enjoy!






In some posts to come, I will be featuring the how-to's on making these cards! Look forward to more to come....

Supplies used: CS: Die Cuts with a View & Georgia Pacific; Stamps: Kevin by The Angel Company; Prismacolor Pencils with Colorless Blender pencil (works like Gamsol); my original Screen Door template & vinyl screening; brad: misc. source unknown.

Fishing line on my door?

Hi everyone!

I love to think of cards to make the guys out there! My very outdoorsy husband would love this card if he needed a "pick me up!" So, expand your ideas and see where your cardmaking takes you to include the men in our lives!

I really thought about putting real fishing line on this card, but getting it to glue down can get messy! So instead, I am pretending that its there! Isn't that what we are doing anyway with papercrafts? Well, these are always items I find at my door, thanks for stopping by!

Supplies used: Stamps: Inky Antics "worm on hook w/sentiment, lure in background; inks: Palette Hybrid, My Screen Door template (see below for my info on ordering info).

Birdie Mail outside my Screen Door

Here is a card that I made that again, shows off my screen door card. It's so versatile, whatever you can imagine on your front porch, stoop or whatever, you can stamp it and place it next to your front door. And really, who doesn't like getting mail? Snail or e? Most of us like to feel like we've made a connection with someone! Thanks for stopping by...

Supplies: Stamps used: Inky Antics: Birdie Mail & "You've Got Mail" Sentiment; Prismacolor Pencils w/Gamsol & Brad misc. source unknown.
