I had one card left from club and thought I’d change it up a bit by changing the sentiment. Of course, with a band aid on the front, I couldn’t change it up too much! The original sentiment is from the Patterned Occasions Sale a bration set. I used a sentiment from Word Play to change it up – look at the difference!
Do you have a preference? Hugs, Fran
Based on a card Shelli did 
the image is stamped on Very Vanilla and then again on the Fan Fair Designer Series paper.
Tear the Fan Fair DSP to show both images. Cute idea!
And the chalkboard technique. Well okay – not my favorite, but it was worth a try! Hugs, Fran
Less than a week to go to get Sale a bration goodies! This Feeling Sentimental card also uses Lacy & Lovely for the sentiment.
Based on a display board, this is a 3 x 6 card in Sahara Sand and Basic Black.
This is one that Shelli showed using the Delicate Doily tape as a stencil.
A take on another display board sample. Love the antique feel to this one! It’s a great set! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a version of the gate – fold card that Linda Bauwin showed me at Leadership. What a great way to show off both sides of the pretty Sycamore Street Designer Series paper! I wrote up my version of her instructions for the fold and you can find them here. (It’s not the entire card – just the fold.)
Supplies
Stamp Set – Madison Avenue (SA
card stock – Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo, Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSP
Ink – Island Indigo
Etc – Simply Scored tool, Scallop circle punches, Sycamore Street button and ribbons
Hope you’ll give it a try – it’s fun! Hugs, Fran
This card is a variation of one I’ve done before – just a different sentiment. This sentiment is from Paper Pumpkin – did you sign up for the first kit? I had a few of these cards in various states of “together – ness” – so I switched out the sentiment to give it a different look.
This is one of the cards I did with a group of middle schoolers. At least, this is what I designed. What they created were flower gardens! I so wish I had taken a picture – but it was moving fast around there The centers on my card were done with a Rose Red Stampin Write marker after inking up with Pretty in Pink. (and that funny looking thing next to the sentiment is a rhinestone – really, it is!) It is amazing what happens with paper and ink sometimes!
Hugs, Fran
This is my version of a card shown at Leadership – I think it’s one Shelli did at the Sale a Bration shin-dig right after our event. It’s a cute card and the little tiny strip of Silver Glimmer paper is a sweet addition. There are only 10 days left of Sale a Bration! (It goes by like Christmas!)

On Sunday we had a team meeting and did a shoebox swap. This is where everyone brings all the supplies ready for us to make their card. It’s fun! My friend, Anne, designed this card for the swap. She’s a beach lover (and I thought of her as soon as I saw this set in the catalog!)

These note cards are a fun size to use! The coffee cup card was semi- masked to stamp each color. Instead of stamping the image on a post it note and cutting it out, I was able to just use the post it note as is. The bottom card is a variation on a theme!

Here’s a hint for this card – I drew a faint pencil line across the bottom to line up the elephants and used my Stamp a Ma Jig. Hugs, Fran
This shaker tag was shown by Carrie Cudney at Leadership. It uses the Madison Avenue Sale a bration set. I made a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 tag base and used the 1 3/4 circle punch to punch a 2 3/8 x 2 5/8 piece of Sycamore Street Designer Series paper (DSP)
