October Afternoon Rubber Charms Blog Hop

Welcome to my little blog! It’s been sort of quiet around here in the last month – it’s about time we had a some blog-hop action to perk things up a little bit…

For this entry, I made a few cards with the October Afternoon Rubber Charms. If I made about 75 more cards this week, maybe I could get caught up on all of the thank yous and welcome babies and hello new neighbors that I need to do…

This first card is mostly 5 and Dime with a bit of Fly a Kite and Modern Homemaker thrown in. I love the details in the Rubber Charms, don’t you?


This next card is pretty small. I used the 8X8 paper pad (love the shrunk-down papers!) and printed my little sentiment on the 5 and Dime grid paper. I love how the label sticker frames the sweet lolly…

I must have had something set wrong on my camera here because the top of the image is a bit blurry…let’s pretend that I did that for artistic effect. Yep. I pretty much make cards the same way I scrapbook: squares and frames. They just work for me. (grin)

Oh, and speaking of my comfort zone…here’s a card just jam-packed with squares and frames:

I adore this bear rubber charm…

Prize! Each design team member is giving away an October Afternoon Rubber Charm Prize Pack. Just leave a nice comment on my blog and I will randomly select a winner on Sunday night. The winner will be posted on my blog on Monday Morning and on the October Afternoon Blog on Monday Morning as well. Thanks for stopping by…

Now it’s time for you to hop along to Lexi Bridges’ blog!
