    Cards and more cards

    February 10, 2014 - By 

    I promised I’d share the cards I made but first I have to share the card my neighbor made. It wasn’t complete before I left so she emailed me a picture.

    ***please ignore the misspelled Birthday I typed on the card. Seriously…proof reading some time might do me some good.***

    Isn’t that just so darn cute with the honeycomb background and clever play on words. It’s nice to have such crafty friends to give such great ideas.

    The following are the cards I made while there. I did add the stitching at home before adhering the kraft paper (grocery bag) down. The sentiments were also added here at home since I forgot to bring them along.

    Impromptu craft club

    February 7, 2014 - By 

    My recently retired neighbor asked me over for an impromptu version of craft club today. Since I didn’t have a dozen other things to worry about, I remembered to bring my camera.

    craft club 1There were 4 of us making cards for various occasions. Since there were fewer of us than evening craft club, we were able to spread out a lot more.

    craft club notedThese were some of the cute cards that my fellow crafter’s made today.

    others cardsI love the clever cards with the gift if money as part of the scene. She said that she was behind with Christmas cards but figured when they saw the cash they forget all about it being late. 🙂

    I’ll share what I made another day. The lighting was terrible by the time I thought about photographing mine here at home.

    Oh Christmas cards, Oh Chiristmas cards

    December 12, 2013 - By 

    I decided to go a different route with our family Christmas cards this year. We’ve sent out a photo, letter or photo copied scrapbook page for countless years now.  My reasons for changing the tradition for this year are multifaceted. I have to tell you that my family was shocked!!Christmas cards

    I’m sending out handmade cards this year. And a lot fewer of them. We’ll see how it goes. I may regret that decision but I already have my plan for next year. 🙂

    These are just a few of the designs I came up with yesterday. Luckily I have a stash of cards I’ve made throughout the last couple of months.
