Here's my procedure, if you're interested. I pull out a set, use all the images on cards, and then mark it on a list as "keeper," "okay until something better comes along," and "get rid of it." It's interesting what sets are really easy to work with, which ones take more effort, and which ones simply aren't worth the effort for me. Very often, the results surprise me.
PTI's Friends 'til the End is a keeper for sure. Here are two cards I made with it. The leaves are not as nice as the flowers to me, and are a bit harder to work with, but I was proud I used that big one on a decently CAS card.
If you're interested, hop on over to Questioning my Intelligence for my Memorial Day tribute. It's got pictures and everything! (*wink)
these are darling and a great resolution!
ReplyDeleteWonderful CAS cards, Susan! Kudos to you for sticking with your resolutions!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Susan! The cards are awesome! Now off to your other blog! Have a Wonderful Weekend! Hugs...Cookie :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I must say, you have really rekindled my interest in PTI. You really make their images sing!

Now, that's a good resolution! Hmmm - may be next year I'll try it. Both your cards are fabulous as always!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a resolution. I too have been trying to pull out those stamp sets that haven't been used in a while. And I have pulled a LOT of stamps to be sold on ebay. It's really hard, especially the retired ones that have images I love. But like you mentioned, some are "harder" to use than others and I just don't have the space for everything. But even with the ones in my "sell" pile, I estimate that I still have over 700 stamps so to use each one... I'd have to stamp non-stop for a year!
ReplyDeleteThese two cards are both really terrific. I like how you stamped the images in colored ink and didn't worry about coloring them in. Gives them an open, airier feel.
what a brilliant idea. if my life ever settles down so that I can actually stamp again, I might just try it!! I love what you did with these cards, and the leaf looks spectacular!!!
