    I made a few more cards from some scraps and photos laying around my workspace. I just love using those scraps! It’s like a challenge to me.

    I can’t remember what these flowers were…something is making me think they are an herb that flowered. Hmmm.

     

     

     

     

     

    The green scrap is from a very pretty card I saved from the recycle bin. It matched the pink and green of a thank you card perfectly.

    Isn’t it great when things like that just work out.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    A tag with a little bit of ribbon looks much better when mounted on little foam squares. It gives nice dimension.

     

     

     

    And then there’s one of my favorite pictures…

    My girl sharing the heart shaped inside of a black walnut shell. Pesky squirrels left me a present in the garden but it made for a fantastic photo op.

    She’s even wearing her LOVE shirt.   <3

    Cleaning led to cards

    Little J and I have been on a cleaning and organizing mission lately. Yesterday, it was in the craftroom. We got both work surfaces completed cleaned and organized.

    I should have taken a picture…darn.

    Anyway, my mom had picked a bunch of my blank greeting cards and asked if I’d make them into birthday cards for her with stamps, labels etc.
    She likes them ready made…no need to write to much these days.  Just teasing…

    After completing those,  I was inspired to keep going. 20130217_1426 20130217_1427 20130217_1428 20130217_1429

    Of course, those pesky chores like meal prep and laundry made me stop for a while.

    Little J isn’t going to be too happy with me when she gets back from the neighbors. I’ve succeeded in making a mess of the work surfaces again.

    Maybe I can knock out a few more cards then get it all cleaned up before she gets home….or not. 🙂

    Girls day part 2

    September 18, 2012 - By 

    As I mentioned in my previous post, Little J and I did a bunch of crafting on Sunday afternoon. Not just the two salt dough recipes.

    I made some cards while she painted. 

    Once again…thanks to Elizabeth for the awesome handmade paper used in the “Home is where the Heart is” card.

    While she waited for her paint and glue to dry, she went off to play. I started work on another scrappy sewing project. Basically grabbed scraps from the box and started sewing.

    Here’s a little sneak peek…
