I made another layout today for the Pretty Paper Party, immediately after seeing Shimelle’s prompt, but I’m too tired to upload and edit the photo, so how about a few more cards inspired by Sharing Your Story.
On page 35 I found this:
And created a birthday card (now addressed to a male friend for his November birthday).
I loved this cracked paint butterfly on page 49.
The front of this minibook prompted me to get out my crackle paint. I could only find one jar, and it was pretty old. It took several coats and a bit chipped off. I’m quite sure I have some more, but that will require cleaning the craft cupboard. But I like it enough to try it again.
And lastly for tonight, this was found on page 52.
I like the design of this card a lot, but it’s my least favorite of all the cards I made. I used some old, old My Mind’s Eye die cuts and used some new Studio Calico “Shine” mist on the orange cardstock.
We’ve had the best week ever with everyone here. Adam arrived from his conference in Virginia this afternoon, and we all went out to eat tonight. Baby Skylar slept through the whole dinner. She is one of the most contented newborns I’ve ever known. The days have flown by, and it will be hard to send everyone off during the next few days.
Love these cards, especially the butterfly. You can reconstitute dried out crackle paint by adding a bit of water and stirring. Just saying – in case you need to do that!

Love all the card inspiration you’ve found from this book,Karen.I think I need to dig out my crackle glaze as well.
And I’ now thinking of buying some crackle paint. I saw a way of making your own on Pinterest, though, so maybe I could try that. It would be worth a go to achieve results as pretty as these!
You have such a good eye for taking a totally unrelated design and translating it into a card! Amazing.
More wonderful cards Karen!
Oh, I love these!! Especially the first one 🙂 Fabulous!
Beautiful, Karen! Enjoy the time with your family!!!
More fabulous card Karen, I love the mini book, I had forgotten about crackle paint! It looks beautiful.
Love this mini book. The crack paint is one neat idea. I’d like to try this myself.
