Scrap Tower: Glossy Accents

WELCOME

Welcome to Scrap Tower, my little corner of the world, where I share my creativity with you.

I enjoy many forms of crafting, from paper crafting to sewing. I make custom greeting cards for family and friends. I've made unique custom cards commissioned by friends.

I am proud to have been a card maker for the organization Operation Write Home (OWH) for several years supplying 1,000+ handmade cards for our HEROES.

I continue to make cards as gifts or to sell and I am testing a few other sewing and crochet projects to sell.

My current charitable project is Sew Powerful Purse and I have sewn and donated 20+ purses in the past two years. I plan to donate 10+ purses in 2018.

I enjoy sharing my creative passion with others, including children in Sunday School and Bible School, etc.

OLD GUYS RULE - Operation Write Home - Sketch Challenge #206

Last weekend and early week, I was was battling the cold/flu that is rampant here in Upstate SC ...ugh! I am better but not completely over the congestion and cough. We had record low temperatures early in the week and now we have heavy rain and flash flood warnings! A good craft day for me! :)

It has taken me nearly a week to get my card made and posted for the first OWH Sketch Challenge of 2014. Just today, it has been a circuitous route for me just to take the picture and write this post.

Old Guys Rule - Golfer

I have posted a card made with this 'Old Guy' before. The problem is I bought this unmounted rubber stamp at the Greenville (SC) Stamp Show in September 2013, but I didn't write down which booth I got it at - bummer! That was my first stamp show, so I have learned my lesson about that.

The golfer is colored with Spectrum Noir and Copics markers
The sentiment stamp is from Sparkle N Sprinkle Stamp Set 456 Surfin Woody
Paper is from My Minds Eye (MME) 6x6 pad Handsome Boy
The faux brads are from CANDi Choc-A-Mocha
I added a little Glossy Accents to the golf ball

Here is the OWH Sketch #206 which I used for inspiration, but did not follow 100%.

Thank you for checking it out! Have a blessed day!

Girlfriends Card

Here is a card that I was 'commissioned' to make for a couple of gals at work. One of their lunch break gals retired this week.

The stamped image is by Art Impressions Girlfriend series.
It is colored with Copics markers
Papers are Bazzill and Core'dinations
Several of the gals make jewelry, so I added seed bead necklaces to the image and a product called Glossy Accents to the earrings and bracelet to make them shiny.
