Waiting until the last moment, I scrambled to finish my stamp club homework last week. I got on a roll and made four variations. My favorite is the first one. I love the subtle colors and play on pattern. The last one was my second attempt at negative image using a brayer. This one turned out much better than my first attempt. I love the watermelon colors and the simplicity of the star stamps.

This beauty of a card was made by my Stamp Club friend Sara. She made each of a us a pretty card. Of course, I got a new baby card with a nice little message inside. I love the simplicity of this card. Although I can't believe that she cut out that kangaroo. So nice!

At stamp club, we made three awesome cards. I always love Pam's designs. I love the ruffled ribbon on the first one, but don't think I would use it enough to justify the cost from Stampin' Up. The second card makes great use of washi tape to add extra fun to the butterfly. The third card was sent through Pam's trading program. The lady cut out each of the inserts. So time-consuming! But it does make for a gorgeous card.
