Birthday cards

Finally took some time to sit at my scrap table. I needed to make

two birthday cards.

Been too long ....

Once again it's been too long since I have posted on my blog.

I really need to try and start posting more often.

Anyhoo, here are my cards for this year.

I LOVE this Santa stamp. It belongs to a friend who I only get to see

occassionally. Sadly, when I borrowed her stamp at a crop, I only

stamped a few images. Now I am wishing I had stamped more. :(

I will be keeping a eye out for this stamp to add to my collection.

Mother's Day & card sketch challenge

I came across this post and loved the idea of the handmade

flowers. So I decided to give it a try. I made a few flowers

using the technique they posted and then made a few from

a different technique. (Which is basically circles shaped into petals.

I used a Classico Alfredo sauce jar, luckily I had two, and put

raffia inside. I found some mahogony colored raffia at the

dollarstore which is also where I got the tiny dowels that I glued

the flowers on. I just used a ink pad to color them green.

I made and added pinwheels just to have a little something else

in there. :)

The cards I made are based on a card sketch posted by Gloria.

I used the same color papers and made similar flowers for on the

cards just so it all matches. :)

These are for my Mom and Aaron's Mom for Mother's Day.

Liverpool Scrap Retreat

Last weekend my friend and I attended a weekend

scrap retreat. So much fun! We are looking forward to the

next one. :):)

These are the cards we made at the card class.

We made two of each card. :)

These are the layouts I completed at the crop.

Still need to do journaling on this one.

This one needs a title. Any suggestions????

Need to do the journaling.

Me! Notice the stray wonky piece of hair? LOL

I was full of static ... it was crazy.

Some of the supplies for sale.
