Letter Sticker Swatches

Hi All,

You are probably visiting from the Kick Start Class :)

Yesterday, as you know, Tim Holtz was a guest and talked about creating technique swatches. Loved the idea, I have color swatches for paper, ink and mists but hadn't thought about technique swatches (add that to my to-do list, ha!).

Anyway, the more I thought about it, I realized even more pressing was to have a couple swatches of all my thickers, letter/number stickers and mini alphas. I used letter X because it's a letter I don't think I have ever put on a layout, ever!

Now that I see all my lettering choices and I can easily just grab the tag of choices (I did them by color groupings because I usually know I'm looking for a 'green' and it's a matter of shade or tone) I am really excited to use them.

Oh, and seeing all these X's has inspired me to take a ton of X's and do a layout of them......

What do you think?

PTI March 2012 Blog Hop Card

Decided to join this months blog hop....

Did a little window card with a peacock Hambly print transparency that I thought of as soon as I saw the turquoise. This is the first of the fillable frames series stamp set and die and some white PTI Cardstock.

Vellum Window Card

Thanks So Much Card

I've had this card in my head for awhile so I must have seen it somewhere before - perhaps the {Stamps of Life} displays at a recent Expo I went to...  I had wanted to use more pink, but I didn't have the right shade so I ended up with a more plum pink when I created the background. After I took the picture I realized it was missing something so I went back and chalked the edges of the middle paper in a nice taupe. What do you think?

A Couple Samples...

Here's the first - 'Flying High'

This is actually from the Cricut cartridge 'New Arrival'.
