Holiday Cards

Halloween Cards - Bats, Ghosts, and Jack-O-Lanterns!

This one is shakerbox, although I need thicker foam tape.

Sent this one to my husband who's in Iraq. I like the way my messy stamping looks like an old typewriter.

Happy birthday balloons

Help me choose a snowman

I love this new snowman stamp. Please comment with what you think of the colors, layout, matting, etc. Thanks!

Thinking of You

I'm not sure what this technique is called, possible paper layering or paper cutting. Either way, I got the letters in the Target dollar bin!

Happy Birthday Squares

Love my square punch. The lettering came free with one of the spiffy British mags.

Flower Pot Card

Playing with silk flowers again....

Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!

Still from the same magazine....Paper Crafts Aug 2007. I think I'll aim for a teddy bear next using the same circle punches.

New Cards

I went on a Labor Day splurge at Michael's and JoAnn's. I also bought a new British card mag (name to be added). Here's what you can do do with circles.

Here's what you can do with a flower punch.

Goodbye summer card

I love British mags. This template and the stencil to pull it off came from the same British card mag. I'm looking for the website link, but am not finding it. I will probably send it to my kid next week.

Welcome Baby

This is the baby card I made for Debbie's first baby, Kaitlyn. I'm so excited that I finally have a little girl to spoil, dress up, and drive her parents mad.

Flower Baby Blanket

This one was made for Debbie's baby girl, due sometime in early Sept. It's Michael's Crochet Hooded Baby Blanket

Green Shopping Bag

Completed 7/3/07. Made as a birthday present for my sister-in-law, Steph. It needs to be lined, but it's pretty big.

Using Up Yarn

I really liked that Wagon-Wheel Square, so I used up yarn left from Xmas 2006 presents to make this.

Wagon Wheel Yellow Baby Blanket

See previous entries for a link to the pattern. This blanket was made for Riley, a teaching colleague's 5 month old son.

4th of July Cards

Though I was planning on making Independence Day cards since the beginning of June, naturally I put them off til the last minute. Here's one that I made for my auntie.

One for his parents:

Under the Sea Card

Here is my combined version of the crab card (which I forgot to scan before I sent) and the octopus card that I didn't really like.

Octopus Card

I'm not entirely thrilled with this card. It's using a template from Paper Creations Summer 2007. I think I got a little carried away with the glitter. Perhaps I will try again later this week.

Board Shorts Card

Here is a card I made using a template from the magazine Paper Crafts June/July 2007. I'm not too crazy about the pattern paper, but I'm not allowing myself to buy more paper until next month. It's also for a boy and boys are so difficult. ;)
