Soooo...a while back I had some pictures reprinted with the intention of making cards out of them. I got the idea from an old back issue of Paper Crafts. At any rate, I had not fully intended to use them as the entire card front, but I could not bear to cut them down any more. And they came together in only 10 minutes!
Herein lies my confession: I did not use ANY INK on this card. None. Zip. Zilch.
And you know what? I am enamored with it! Curses.
Hey, at least I am using my paper! :)
Photo was taken by me in Miyajima, Japan. Paper is SU: Old Olive, Basic Black and Soft Suede. Brads are SU.
I made 5 different styles of this card with different pictures and embellishments. I will post the rest later on. :)
As a side, I am getting ready to leave for my High School reunion! I am so jazzed...a solo trip to the US, getting to see my old friends, shopping, chain restaurants, shopping, good food, shopping, In & Out Burger. Oh, did I happen to mention shopping? :)
I promise to catch up once I get back. Thanks for taking a minute to check in on me.
Paper Challenge: 12 cards made for a total of 97/100 projects complete!!

Beautiful card and great idea to use some pictures
What a great idea. I've never used a picture for the front of a card, but this is just fabulous!
Awesome idea! Maybe that can help me do something with all the scenic shots I have! Great job on the paper count... soooo close! Have a wonderful trip!
That is a great idea. I hope you have a nice trip. You are completely blowing me out of the water with the paper challenge, I think I'm in the low thirties. . . but I've resisted so far and that's the longest stretch ever for me . . . and it is a nice card, I like it too.
Have a fabulous time! Spend lots of money, buy lots of paper and tell us all about it when you get back.
Fly safe :)
So cool! Love this card! Have a great trip!
wahoo girl - 97!!! I just finished my 100th last night, so watch out Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg...here I come!!!

Enjoy your trip and High School Reunion. Did you say you are going to Shop? :)
I love the card. I never thought to use a picture on the card front.
This is so pretty and I think it's a great idea!!! I have done this and love it! Enjoy your trip!!!
Love the card. Great idea!!
Have fun at your reunion and enjoy all the food.
beautiful card! That is such a wonderful picture that no stamping is needed! Hope your high school reunion goes well and you have a safe trip.
Such a beautiful photo! It makes a fabulous card. So serene. I hope you are having a wonderful time on your trip to the US!
I wouldn't have cut those pics down either! That is an amazing picture, and alone it stands well as a card front! I love this!!!
This is stunning!!
Very pretty card. i make cards like this sometimes too. Sometimesa picture doesn't need any help.
I hope your triip is going well and you are having fun.
the card is fantastic and the photo is so interesting. I can see why you enjoyed this medium for a change. But you'll go back to ink eventually. A good stampers never dies!!!
I am totally enamored by this card too! Picture + Paper = delightful goodness! And what a great way to use those scenery shots that don't end up on a layout! Looking forward to a post on all your shopping goodies! :>:>
Great idea for the cards and it looks awesome.
Hey you can't start a new addiction! You are the one trying to help me break one, right? I'm doing so well not buying any paper! So no, no, no -- no new addictions (my guess is ribbon, is it ribbon?)
Great card! I love the idea of cards with photos! I hope you had a blast at your reunion!!
Very pretty with using the photo. Enjoy In & Out Burger...sure miss that in California.
