Take Ten Magazine~Spring Issue

Hi guys!!

I have some cards to share that were recently published by Stampington & Company 

in their Take Ten magazine.  These cards (a set of three) can be seen in the

 "a different point of view" section.  

In this section you have to create three cards using the same stamp set

 and give each one a different look.

I love a challenge!!

Time Out card ~

Hi guys!!

Just a quick and fun card to share with you.  I used three different stamp manufactures on this card. Darkroom Door for the background, the chairs are from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design. 

The pattern paper is from Teresa Collins, twine is from Whisker Graphics and the ink is from Ranger.

Always fun to pull out supplies that work well together:)

JBS Vintage Hotel Key Board **sigh**~

Hi everyone~this is part of the work I did for Jenni Bowlin Studios, always a thrill when asked to work up a new product.  My idea was to use the board in a way that could be changed up.  This is my Bling Board ~ vintage bling, that is!

Old crystals, old keys, key necklace with old buttons, brooches {Teresa Collins}, little beaded braclet and my "5" ~ great place to display collections!  The blue round paper piece is from the new Wren collection by Jenni Bowlin **sigh**, love that paper!!!!

I added small jump rings to the board so I could use the old hanger as a holder for the Hotel Key Board!!  Speaking of the old hanger ~remember this:

This is the hanger I found on my junkin' trip in Indiana~ and the shoe form, this is what I did with it~

I told my hubby my idea for this and he was able to {JB Weld} the music clip inside the shoe horn:):). This is one of my favorite pieces.  I can use it all over the house for photos, cards or kid art!!

I'll show my other Vintage Hotel Key Board in detail tomorrow.

I want to thank all of you that commented on the JBS Inspiration blog yesterday, brought a smile to my face!!!!  Thank you for your support:):):)

See ya tomorrow!!!
