I have several scrapbooks with photos of our nieces and nephews when they were small or growing up.  This is the title page for an album with photos of them as adults.  The patterned paper is some I bought at a scrapbook convention a few years ago, the poem was printed from my computer on River Rock card stock and matted on Always Artichoke card stock.  Images from the Sense of Time set were stamped in VersaMark ink behind the poem.  Tiny brads were added where the corners were punched with the ticket corner punch.  The clock on the "time flies" embellishment was heat embossed on River Rock card stock with VersaMark and River Rock Classic ink and the wings were stamped in River Rock Classic ink with the retired Weathered background stamp and cut from River Rock card stock with a Tim Holtz die.

Another card made with the retired Farm Fever stamp set.  Card stock:  Basic Black, Real Red embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder, and Whisper White.  The image and sentiment were heat embossed in Black and Liquid Applique was used for the lamb's wool.  Black and white gingham ribbon was tied around the Real Red layer.

This long retired stamp set, Farm Fever, makes the cutest get well cards.  This one was stamped on water color paper and colored with Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  The Wild Wasabi paisley DSP is from an old print pack, the card stock is Not Quite Navy, and the ribbon is a retired Wild Wasabi.  Design inspired by a card on SCS by jenrn.

Under the Big Top is one of my favorite new stamp sets from the 2011-12 SU Idea Book and Catalog.  I love the sentiments in this set.  The image was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  A little gold Smooch Spritz was added to the Real Red circle before gluing the image to it.  A piece of retired Real Red ribbon was added to the Big Top Birthday DSP before gluing it to the Real Red card base.

Welcome to the 7th stop on the SU STARS August blog hop!  If you are hopping along in order you arrived here from Shelly Peck's blog.  If not, you can continue on to the next blog by clicking on the link at the end of this post.  You will also find a list of all participating blogs on the SU STARS home page.

Our theme this month is Fabulous Folds and one of my favorite cards made with a fabulous fold is a Tri Shutter card.  It can be a little tricky to cut and score correctly but well worth the effort.  The card below was made with the retired stamp sets Dream Garden, Embrace Life, and So Happy for You, Basic Black and River Rock card stock, and the new Fancy Fan letterpress plate.  Most of the stamped images were heat embossed with either black embossing powder or a powder I bought in a local craft store called Red Dragon.  The first photo shows the front of the card.

And the second photo is a side view of the card opened.
