Stamp a Stack Club

Happy Friday!!

Here are the cards that the Stamp a Stack Club did for the month of May.  We used CTMH's  D1543 Country Born stamp set.

The papers used are the CTMH Buzz and Bumble ,which just sold out, and a retired paper called Stella.  The lone Barn Red and grey card uses papers from the Dakota pack, which also just sold out.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Magic Monday

Happy Monday!!

Here's a new Magic layout that I created using the CTMH Dakota My Reflections Kit.  It was created using Studio J.  I love all the fun My Stickease that comes with the Dakota kit.  Of course, when you're scrapping in Studio J, you can use the My Stickease over and over :)

Have a wonderful Monday, everybody!!

Magic Club Layout

In the Magic Club for November, we're using CTMH X7157B Dakota paper packet.  We sanded all the card stocks, and, as you can see, I wrinkled one photo mat.  Thankfully, it will be covered with a picture :)  The buttons, brads and stick pin are all from the Mini-Medley Slate Collection.
