2012 Top 10 Cards

My first blog skip.  This card was inspired by the Clean and Simple Card class at Online Card Classes.com.
One of my cards for the Armed Forces Day Blog Skip. I love the eagle.
My card for the Memorial Day Blog Hop.  I used a Bonus sketch and colored the image with Copics.
Sketch #34 for the Be A Rebel VCMP.  I love the bear and the Out of the Box die cut.

Cards I made with a Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card kit.  The top one I CASE'd from a card in one of the Online Card Classes and the chevron card I used the scraps from my card kit papers.


These cards I made during the Labor Day VCMP.  I love the Triple Time stamping on the last one and want to do more of that in the future.  I love elegant look of the top card with the 3 ribbons.
Sketch #147.  I had the honor of making the samples for this sketch and this was my favorite of the 3 cards.

  7. Hi Beth! You have done great work all year, including your samples for Sketch 147! That is a beauty. I remember and love your card with the triple bows--I can imagine the joy of whoever opened that one. Look forward to seeing your creations in 2012!

  8. Great cards, it's so fun to look through them I recognize several Bug A Boo stamps images. I love the triple time stamping technique too, I think using a beautiful patterned paper instead of stamping might be fun too.

    Happy New Year!

  13. Hi Beth! Great collection of cards! I definitely see some of my favorites from visiting your blog. I love the colors you use and the images are so cute.

    About your comment on my blog about shading images in PSE, I use the magic wand and the burn tool to darken areas on the image. I use the dodge tool sometimes, but it can kind of turn the color grey. I also turn down the exposure level to about 30-35% so I have to kind of scrub the burn in - it keeps me from darkening the image too quickly. Also the different brushes can be used with the burn tool and I like to use the watercolor brush because it doesn't concentrate the color too much. (The magic wand will keep what you do confined to just the area you are working on.) Well, I hope that makes sense. It's pretty easy to do, though it may sound a bit complex.

    Have a great New Year!

  18. Great cards Beth! I am so glad that you have continued to create for OWH despite all of the craziness of moving and all of that goes with it.

    The chevron card is genius - I would never have thought to do that on my own but am surely tempted to give it a go now! I love that particular eagle image as well, it's so striking and you did a beautiful job with it.

    All the best in 2013 for you and your family.
