Tara, a Philly Inker team member of mine, made this cute Halloween card. She used the Scallop Edge punch to make that neat punched black border at the bottom. And she layered the cardstock punched with the Curly Label punch to make a shadow on the four images. What a sharp card!

6x6 School-themed Spread
Judith, my Philly Inker team member in Connecticut made this cute 6x6 spread. I love how she used the All in the Family stamp set for this project! And aren't the colors great! It screams "Back to School."

Season of Friendship
This Season of Friendship stamp set is so versatile! You can use it all year. I love this swap Gina designed with it. She used saran wrap on the ink pad to get that speckled look in the background.

Season of Joy Sample
This Christmas card was made by my Philly Inker, Gina Thornton. She stamped the tree on white card stock and then embossed the entire rectangle with Irridescent Ice embossing powder, which has glitter already in it. To emboss an entire rectangle, apply Versamark ink to the entire piece, then the powder, before you use the heat tool. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it sparkles A LOT.

Shaker card with snowmen
Melanie Brown, one of my dear Philly Inkers gals, made this adorable shaker card for a Christmas card swap we did. She used the microbeads inside the window so that when you shake the card, it's like a snow storm:0)
This stamp set is a level 3 hostess stamp set - Window Dressing.

Cabin Scrappin' Retreat
Last week I got the chance to go on another "Cabin" Scrappin' trip. You can see from the picture of me that it doesn't matter in Forestburgh, NY, if your hair sticks up, or if you wear slipper socks with sandals. If you go on a walk, the only thing that will see you looking like this is maybe a deer or two (or 9, I counted once)!
As you can see from the pictures below, it's not at all a "cabin" - it's a wonderful, spacious, comfortable lake house owned by Tina Rosenkrans, and she generously shares the space with half a dozen lucky stampers a couple times a year, based on their sales in a given period. She cooks yummy food for us too! I love these trips!!! This one felt like my last big hoorah before baby Lawrence arrives in a few weeks. I got so many cards made - probably around 175! - including a large stack of Christmas cards and my swaps for the next 3 months of Philly Inkers meetings! Stay tuned this week for pics of some cards made by very talented Cabbin' Scrappers who attended.
