I was archiving photos on my computer and came across photos of the projects I submitted last year (2008) for Stampin'Up!'s Artisian Awards contest. Since I don't have any recent projects to post right now I thought I'd share these "leftovers" with you all. (Click on any of them for a closer view.)

I can't recall now all the ink and paper colors I used on this card, but I think most of them are now retired. The stamp sets I used are Always and Tres Chic, which are both still in the current Stampin'Up! catalog.

This is a 3D project I created using matchboxes attached to a house shape I constructed from chipboard and covered with scrapbook paper. The paper, stickers, and other embelishments were from a Simply Scrappin' kit called Home Again from the 2008 SU! catalog.

Here is a scrapbook page I made for the contest. The letter stamp sets are called Big Deal Alphabet and Short Order Alphabet (both retired) and the patterned paper was from a 2008 catalog and was called Jersey Shore. As I recall, the inks I used were Brilliant Blue and Only Orange.

And another card. I didn't take a very good photo of this one. I should have another photo of the inside so you can see how it opens, but the gray textured card stock is the back panel of the card. I used two stamp sets, To Have and To Hold which is now retired and Wanted which is still current. I used textured cardstock: Whisper White, Soft Sky (retired), and Basic Gray. For ink I used Basic Black and Blue Bayou (retired.) I also added a little color to the couple using some Stampin'Write markers. The taffeta ribbon is Basic Gray (current.)
Well, hope you enjoyed. It's back to archiving for me.
