Blog Hop August

August 19, 2010 By: Pamela Category: Blog Hops, Card Art

Official start:  August 20 -0800 (EST)
This blog hop will end on August 23-2200hrs (that’s 8 pm, EST)

Theme: Book Covers

Since it’s back to school time, we thought we’d use book covers for our inspiration. We could use the color scheme, sketch layout, idea theme, designs on the cover, anything about the cover that we could show in our piece. For mine, I was inspired by the layout and the way the photos on the cover were matted. I chose to reverse the black and white colors and keep the original sketch.

Here’s my book cover:

I've owned this book for a long time! Glad I've found a new use for it..lol

I've owned this book for a long time! Glad I've found a new use for it..lol

Here’s how I used the sketch and color scheme of this cover:

Stamp images used: Bliss, Punch Art 1, Silhouette Flowers, Birthday Wishes Colors: Copics/Triart, white gel pen (sakaura)  Papers: 110# white cs, 65 # black cs    Extras: tiny white bling

TIP: I bought a flip flop decoration that was triple lines of tiny white bling (which you can color with your copics btw) marked wayyy  down.  Be on the look out for these shoe decorations as summer closes; you can pick them up for about 25-75 cents and they last a long time…lol

Blog Hop Details:

This is a “circular blog hop” where the only beginning is wherever you start!!  You don’t have to go to a ’starting blog’, or try to find your way to the ‘ending blog’. You will know you are at the end of the blog hop when you’ve come back to the blog you’ve started from!  It’s not a huge circle…so it should be easy to remember where you started. :0)

BLOG CANDY!! (free 4×5 stamp set (my choice) OR you choose 4 free digis!!) One winner will be chosen from a mystery blog hostess…so you’ll want to leave a comment on EVERY blog so you don’t miss out! It’s like a treasure hunt inside a blog hop…he he he     Please check back here on Tuesday for the winner results.

Your next stop on the hop is URSULA

Condolence card

August 19, 2010 By: Pamela Category: Card Art

Most of you know I work at a church during the day, and recently there was a death of a long time member. He and his wife have been married 63 years! This couple would stop by the church every other week or so, and and she always came into the office. I’m so sad for her loss, especially as it was due to an accident (he fell and hit his head). I made this card for her.

Rubber images used: With Sympathy (temp unavailable)           Colors: copics, white gel pen (Sakura)
