a juicy card
Holding onto that last "bit" of summer. Head over to the If It's Groovy site to see the instructions for this summer-time card. I made it (along with 8 more) for a recent card swap.

Fiskateer fun...again
Here are some creative highlights from last week's Fiskateer Liftateer Online Crop.
I ran a white foam piece through my Sizzix Big Shot with a texture plate and then inked in yellow before using it for this "thank you" card.
I just LOVE being able to use lots of photos on my layouts. This one is from Halloween last year.
I lifted a LO design from another Fiskateer Kelly for this one. It's great to scrap these pictures of the kids with my Grammy. I love the Coredinations paper...so fabulous to just texture and then sand to let the color come through.
Made these cute tags with a pocket that is just perfect for sticking in a gift card.
Lifted this card LO from Fiskateer lead, Rebecca. You just gotta love Fiskars squeeze punches (in every size).
I promise to be back soon with some more creative goodness.

While the post was being seen by "millions of viewers", I was in Chicago and the Craft and Hobby Association's Supershow. It was a long day of make and takes, shopping, and new techniques. At night, we went to the Fiskateer Party with the Lead Fiskateers where we made fashionable jewelry.
I have lots going on with Fiskateers, If It's Groovy, and back to school (for me and the kids), but, I promise to be nicer to my blog in the next few weeks.
Coming up next weekend...
It's the 1st Anniversary of Lift A Fiskateer. There is a group of us that "lift" a scrapbook layout each week as a fun challenge (and motivation to at least get one layout done a week). We are on Week 52, and we are celebrating with an online crop. Head over to Fiskateers and join in the fun.
