So, this first card is a quick and easy one. I just sprayed some glimmer mist on the card and then applied a bunch of rub-ons and gems. I love how the white rub-ons create the look you would get from using a mask, but with the rub-ons, the lines are much more defined than you would get using a mask.
Here are a few cards with an autumnal feel to them. My favorite part of these cards are the flowers assembled from little felt pumpkins.

Below are a couple more cards I made using Anna Griffin's Darcey Collection. I've previously made five or six cards with this collection. I really like it; the papers I have left are going to be good for making more masculine cards like the second one below.

This card was made using the Marcella by K Marmelade Collection. I made one of my all time favorite cards using this collection - it was a birthday card, and you can see that one here.

Here is one using Making Memories Chloe's Closet Collection, I have good supply of this collection left in my stash, but I'm not sure I'm feelin' it. I'll probably give it one more try, but so far, I don't like what I've made with it. I made two cards, and one isn't even going to get posted, because I just don't like how it turned out.
Next are some really simple cards made using stamps from Papertrey Ink. I have bought their stamps before, but this is the first time I actually got around to using them. :) I like them very much. I was particularly impressed with the greeting stamps and how thin and crisp the lines came out (unless you mess it up a little like I did on the second card) :)

So, here is the last set. This is a bunch of mini cards/tags that I made using some Colorbok tags. These were very inexpensive to make. All together, there are 18 of them and it probably didn't cost more than a couple of dollars to make them. The printed tags I used came in packs that cost a dollar. I embellished them with a few small prima flowers, rub-ons, and acrylic drops. Because the cards are so small, I was able to find the cardstock for the card bases in my scraps pile. Really, the most expensive thing will be the envelopes if I use them like cards instead of tags.
OK, so that wraps up the 2009 cards. I still have a couple of mini albums from last year to post, hopefully I can get to that today as well. Thanks so much for stopping by! Patty
