My Simple Swap for Jody

So due to the fact that Jody and I (her more than me) have been busy lately, we have decided to go down to one item a month. I was seriously having stampers block, but I did manage to make this simple frame for Jody using some fun paper I got at my LSS and my Simon chipboard alphas that I got from my DDSS last round.

The frame was one that my friend gave to me to "do something with." The ribbon is celery and chocolate grosgrain and some pink stitched with chocolate ribbon by American Crafts. On the letter "J" I stamped a flower from SU "Polka Dots and Petals" from the new spring mini catalog (you can't see it in the picture but you can in real life) and then in the center of each flower I put a white dot using my gelly roll pen. Really simple, but I still think Jody will like it! *smiles*

Jody sent me the most gorgeous item which you can view HERE.

You don't have to be special, but you do have to donate to SCS. You get the Dirty Dozen gallery as a kind of BONUS for your donation to the site and it is worth it!!!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
