Transparency Card

This is the first card I've made using transparency. I took part in a swap on Cococat's Cardmaking site, where we were sent an image to use in making a card to swap with a partner. The image was this sweet gingerbreadman. I glue them on a piece of cardstock and cut it out and stuck it to a card make from transparency. The inside of the card is layered cardstock and Basic Grey PP. I glued elegant snowflakes (from Walmart) to Marvy scallop punched circles. See d's stamped sentiment. I placed three foam glitter sticker snowflakes to the front cover of the card so when the card is closed they are infront of the inside ones. I took two different pic's one laying down and one standing. This was such a fun swap to do. TFL.

1. If you could have $100.00 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose?

I would choose paper especially Cosmo Cricket or Melissa Frances.

2. If you had to choose between only using stamps or rubons, which would you choose?

I would use stamps.

3. If you knew how to do awesome cards and layouts and could only do one for a whole year....which would you do?

Would have to be cards.....yes definitely cards.

4. Would you rather own a scrapbooking store or have your own scrapping room at home....(can't have both..he,he,he.)

Would love to have a scrapbooking room fully stocked like a store.......oh yes, got a room now but could use a lot more stock......and space.

5. And last but not least, what is your CURRENT cardmaking or scrapping style....

My style changes with my mood and the person I'm making a card for......I really can't say..

Fun week in store......I hope.......

This should be an interesting and busy week coming up. My DD, SIL and 3year old DGS have left today to go to the States for a weeks vacation. MY DD has been sitting on the edge for the pass few months as we all have been waiting for test results on some health issues. Her tests have come back looking good so far, but the doctor is going do follow up checks each month for awhile. So we are keeping the three oldest boys 13, 16 and 17 year olds while they go for a little vacation. They really need one. So with working and three teenagers this should prove interesting.....I am just so happy that at least for the time being she is ok.......
