Online Card Class-Tearing Technique for my Christmas Tree Card

This is an Online card class my Day 1, yes Day 1 Tearing technique card.

The example was a heart but I couldn't wrap my head around tearing a heart. Besides, I'm using this class to kick-start my Christmas cards. 

I do love the way this turned out. The presents are a Cricut cut that I've wanted to use for over 2 years. The only "good" thing about 2020 is how it gives me a time reference. It didn't happen last year which makes you think of 2019 in a whole different way, "Was it 2019?". So I digress.

My card uses a specialty cardstock by Provo Craft, circa 2003. Under the sticker, it says, "We inspire Creativity". Kind of neat. The sentiment is computer-generated.

My tears do not line up perfect but I'm happy to have the idea for the other 30 trees that I cut out. Idt this die is for a tree but it was the easiest thing available. I think it's a pennant. It was part of a RAC package.

Thanks for looking

Manly Monday Wyoming Scrapbook Layout

This is the last page in my husband’s scrapbook of his trip to Wyoming 

The patterned paper is by The Paper Loft.

I ripped it and inked it to go around the article that was in our town’s paper. 

I created the year die cut with my Cricut and Don Juan font. 

The month sticker is so old, I no longer have the packaging.

I hope to share other layouts from his book. 

Thanks for looking.

Funny thing about posting to your blog-you have to take the pictures off your camera. Who would have thought?

This week I used wrapping paper and Mod Podge to create my card. I crippled the paper because it already had creases in the middle of the map and then smoothed it back out using the MP. The label is from Martha Stewart and the rub on by The Paper Studio. Cardstock be Recollections.

PS My husband didn't think the ribbon was very manly but I chose to post it anyway.

Thanks for looking
