Brownies
I was watching a lot of videos on youtube the other day and was inspired to use my distress oxides and brushes. I made the backgrounds and then spent a day mulling over what to do next. I finally pulled out the little brownies, unmarked, unmounted stamps that I've had for years and years. Then it was just a matter of finding some appropriate branches and flower stamps to frame them with. I had so much fun that I made 6.

Postage Themed Cards
I jumped on the postage themed bandwagon. It took a bit of searching to find stamps that would work but I think both of these came out ok. I don't have the layering stencil to go with the die (I thought I could save some $$$) so I ended up using very narrow post-it tape. It worked out but was a bit of a pain so I would have to now recommend getting the die along with the stencil.

Catheads
A bit of trouble wrapping my head around this one. First I cut the die out of white and thought I'd color the cats that way, but it just wasn't working out, and that fail went in the trash. Black worked out much better but I'm not thrilled with the green glitter eyes. Seems kind of creepy. LOL

Fall Wreaths
These were made with a die from Tim Holtz - Fall Foliage Vault Wreath. It was easy to cut out and not too hard to arrange, but in the gluing process, there was a bit of foul language. Next time I use it, I will try to make a more interesting background. This time I was just too anxious to start gluing the wreath pieces together. I don't usually use a lot of sentiments so that the recipients (Cards For Soldiers) can use them for whatever theme they want.
