    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.

    Which Art Magazine?

    February 5, 2014 - By 

    I’m thinking I’m going to subscribe to an art magazine this year. In the past I’ve had subscriptions to:

    • Cloth, Paper, Scissors
    • Somerset Studio
    • Somerset Memories

    If you could only get one subscription to any art magazine out there…which one would you choose and why?

    Thanks in advance for your opinion.
