it's the last one for a while....

... I swear!! If you are sick of brayer cards, this is the last one for a while. I have a few other cards to show you soon, but I wanted to make sure they would have arrived before I posted them on here. This is the last from my last brayer basics class. It is just a very simple card, but I love it for masculine birthday cards.

I am off to bed, I have to get up early to finish getting paper cut and ready for my classes this weekend. Then I have another meeting with the healthy homes people to do another home visit. I love this program, it really helps you to learn all the things you in your own home can do to help the environment and save money. The visit tomorrow is all about food and sustainable choices. I have learned a lot so far, and I really love all the new cleaning products that are 'green' and are also better cleaners.

If you are in the Calgary Area, I have one spot left for Monday night's class, it is from 6-9pm at my place, email me if you are interested.

I love brayering

If that is even a word...lol. It took me a long time to start to play with my brayer, and while I am still no where near as good as some people are I love to use it to create quick and simple cards. This one I did a while back for a challenge to use only the very basics of card making. Cardstock or paper and ink. I sort of expanded that by using the brayer, but I figured since it was not an actual embellishment of any kind, that it was ok. I also love that this card took me only about 4 minutes to make, including cutting all the cardstock, and putting it all together. Normally my cards are about 10 minute cards, since I am very particular about placement, making sure everything is exactly lined up and all that. I sometimes hate that I am so picky about that, but in the long run, it always looks great, so I guess that is the reward. This card is called 'broken flowers' since the petals go downwards I can not convince my son that they actually grow like this. I hope you like it.


Until next time, Happy Scrappin'
