Winter is for the Birds

This card looked much better in person that it did in this picture. The card itself is a white card base with light blue cardstock then snowflake digital paper. Then the image is from my PC Hug Club collections. (don't remember which one) There was glitter covering the snow on the banner and the bird houses but it didn't show up in the picture at all. I hope you like this card. I am glad that our weather is much better now than what is was in February.

Babies Are Such Sweet Beginnings

Here is a card that I made that I thought you might like to see. I just found out that one of my twin boys is going to be a father later this year so I thought that I would post a picture of a New Baby card that I made recently. You can't tell very well from the picture (scan) that there are layers to this card - the pink parchment paper, pink gingham layer, raised frame layer, and then the baby animals and the banner they are holding is another layer. I hope you like this card.

Life's Been Really Crazy!

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in so very long. Things have been really crazy here lately. First of all my mother is still in the rehabilitation hospital - we are praying that she will be home for Thanksgiving, but not sure if that is going to happen, Bobby is finally starting to get better now -- He had his foot surgery on October 15th. His foot his healing slowly but at least it is healing! And school is very hectic this semester. I have one semester left before I graduate from WCCC, then I am taking the summer off from school before I start classes for my Bachelor's degree in the Fall. At least that is the plan - still have to decide where to take classes in the fall.

Thanks for stopping by and I promise to start posting more often again. I have started making cards more often and I have started working on Christmas presents for everyone this year.

Mother's Day Card

Here is the card that I made for my mother for Mother's Day. Her name is Rose and she collects Teddy Bears and we usually give her something bear related for any gift-giving occasion, but this time I thought that I would give her something different this time.

I found a cross stitch kit at Jo Ann Fabrics and after I did all the stitching I decided that I would use it on a card instead of putting it on the hanger that came with the kit. I then used some pale pink marble cardstock from a scrap pack that I got at Wal-Mart to mat the cross stitched piece then I used some pretty pink card stock from another scrap pack as the front of the card base.

I used iron-on adhesive on the back of the cross stitched piece and double stick tape as adhesive everywhere else.
