More cards.




Here are a few more cards that I made for the craft fair. This one I made from an idea from a card for my daughter.







This card we made at stamp club last year.

Here's one I created that mathces the baby girl card below.














Here is a cute card that when you open it up, it has a tear out bookmark.

I know, it's been a while. Here are a few cards I made with my daughter for our craft fair (that was a disaster!). More to follow...now I'm off for a much needed vacation for a week!!

New Beginning

Well, the parties are over and I am embarking on a new experience. Two Words: Weight Watchers. I was kind of nervous going to my first meeting, but there were 6 other ladies there and I felt better when I left. Hope I can do it! Need to quit those late night tootsie roll binges. But what is cardmaking and scrapbooking without chocolate???

40 years and counting


Angie's blog was so cute when she wrote about our anniversary. She is a very clever and thoughtful daughter. I also received two wonderful e-mails my sweetheart this morning when I was checking my e-mail. Today is our 40th wedding anniversary, if you hadn't already figured it out from Angie's blog, and my hubby sent me an e-mail greeting with my favorite piano piece on it that I used to play when I had a piano. He also said that he was looking forward to 40 more. (Who wants to be married for 80 years!!! Not that either one of us will live that long anyway.) We are going to Lake Conroe, Texas in June to celebrate.

Anyway, I wanted to share that bit of thoughtfulness with you. And it goes to show that the tiredness may be worth it. (Card made by Ang)


The Weekend's Over

Do you ever do a bunch of stuff for your family and when it is all said and done, wonder if it is worth it? Please tell me that some of you have worked like the dickens to please your family, feel exhausted when they leave and wonder "what was I thinking!"

Oh well, it made the weekend fly by and my 16 year old granddaughter only has her 16th birthday once in her life.
Maybe this week I can work on some cards. I love reading your posts and hope to hear from some of you soon.

Previous Cards



These b-day cards were created out of necessity to use paper on hand. I think they turned out pretty good. What do you think? The dragon fly was cut by my Cricut.







The stars for the Make a Wish were made by Coluzzle.


(Sizzix, Cricut and Coluzzle are a reslut of my former days at Provo Craft--that's how I got started in all of this.)

Hawaii cards

Madi

We went to Hawaii this past February and I gave each of the grandkids a card with spending money in them. Each card is geared for each kid's personality. Fun.....
