7.19.10 Thank you notes I made for plants/donations. I made an additional one, but forgot to take a photo. It wasn't one of my favs anyway.
7.9.10 A lot has happened here since my last posting. My mother passed away, my daughter broke her leg and my son-in-law was in a car accident. Someone told me that things happen in 3s, so I hope we're done for a long time.
The summer is almost gone and today is one of the few days that I've had to myself. I took my daughter back to work today and my 3 yr old granddaughter to "school". I'm glad that I could be here to help my family, but today has felt soooo good! :) I came home, took a nap, and came straight in here to "craft". This is what I've done ..
Another version of the wedding card below
I challenged myself to create this card from the graphic on a sympathy card that I got
I saw a sketch for something similar to this card and wanted to try out the multiple squares idea
The inspiration for this card came from a red/white/blue dress on the Moxie Fab site. Would have been great if I had white stars instead of the 3 buttons. But the buttons do give it an Americana feel.
I just realized that I've been making cards for 1 year now. What fun I've had!!!
6.15.10 Wedding Card I picked up the paper and rhinestone stick-ons at Walmart today on clearance. Walmart here is remodeling and unfortunately they will no longer be carrying scrapbooking materials it seems. :( I've never worked with the rhinestone stick-ons ... not an easy process, but I like the look. I thought I had cream satin ribbon, so I had to make do with this sheer instead.
6.14.10 OMG, have I been waiting for today!! Thought I'd never get new batteries for my camera! I've got several things to share today. First, I've been out of school for about 2 wks now, but the first week I spent sick. But I have done some things since then and I hope to be adding a lot more quickly throughout the summer because I have a LOT to do!
This is something we've been working on here at home ... it's my new crafting cabinet. My friend Carol sent me a link several months ago on organization and that got the wheels to turning. I had these 2 pieces of furniture already around my house, so we stripped and painted them white; put them together and I REALLY like how it turned out! I'm using clear glass to hold all my buttons, ribbon, etc. Love it! Oh, my husband still has to paint the black caddy white.

Here are some new cards that I made. For this one, I cut the card using my Cricut. The graphics & text I did on the computer. I also finally used my corner rounder on the white paper.
These I also cut on the Cricut and did the cupcakes & text on the computer. The difference is that these are 2D. I cut the cupcakes apart and put them back together again (unlike Humpty Dumpty! :) ). The frosting on the cupcakes are popped out using popdots. I also had to add a white inset on the back to write on. These cards don't open, you just flip them over and write.
Now I have to get to work and do Father's Day and wedding cards.
5.16.10 It's been over 2 months since I've posted anything here. Why, I can't really say except that maybe I've been too busy ... or just mentally exhausted. Anyway, I'm adding a couple of cards today. The first one was a technique that I wanted to try out ... and for me, it wasn't worth all the trouble.
The second card is one of 3 retirement cards that I'm making for friends and myself. Actually I'm sort of jealous that they're retiring without me! :)
Same card, different version.
3.14.10 Shhh, don't tell! This is the card I'm giving my sister today for her birthday! She's partially responsible for getting me into papercrafting, so she's getting some neat paper, matching buttons, SQUARE envelopes and Martha Stewart's fancy eyelet heart edge punch! Now I need to go back and make an extra card like this ... because I like it so much!
2.15.10 This was supposed to be my daughter's Valentine card, but I didn't get it finished in time. Ok, I never started it, but this is when I learned I couldn't work under pressure. Once the deadline was gone, I enjoyed working on it and I already knew exactly how I wanted it to look ... I just couldn't make myself do it! :(
2.14.10 I needed a birthday card for my TA so I made these. I found out yesterday that I can't create under pressure, so I need to make sure that I have a selection of cards already made to use.
2.6.10 Dakota and I made this card today for her teacher. She was so proud of it!
This card I made for Dakota. Seems almost too "growny" for her, so I may try and make her something else.
