Make & Take Thursday's

This was our Make & Take for Thursday May 20th.  Everyone got to do the fishy card on the right or could step it up to the next level for $1.  The $1 add on included the acetate window, more fish, bling and a popped-up sentiment.

The moment may be temporary...

GRADUATION!  I have sooooo many graduations this year.  I guess this happens as your oldest child gets closer to graduation himself.  I think I will lock myself in my room for a couple of years and become a hermit..then I won't know so many people and they won't need cards from me.....hmmm, I could get a lot of crafting done, but I would miss my pals at the store.  You are all stuck with me!

Happy Anniversary

THEY ARE HERE......This is a BEAUTIFUL folder from the new collection "Love's in the Air" by Provo Craft.  It is too pretty to cover up.

A laugh is a smile that bursts

I had this great photo of my little niece that I wanted to do a page with and the My Mind's Eye line is always a "go-to" product I love.

THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2010

Get well soon...

I have been working with the fabulous papers from My Mind's Eye this month.  These are the fun papers from The Bloom & Grow line.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 2010

The greatest of these...is LOVE

I see a theme here!  I guess this paper really speaks wedding to me.  The paper is so rich with the velvet flocking.  I can't resist!

TUESDAY, MAY 4, 2010

Thinking of you......in pink

I was on a bit of a roll with the My Mind's Eye papers, so I created another card with the cute pink papers.

MONDAY, MAY 3, 2010

Happiness

Playing with leftovers from the Wedding card kit project.  I think these papers are so beautiful!!  You have just got to feel them.
I had some small pieces of the velvet paper to use up and I could not resist making a wedding or anniversary card.  You really have to feel the velvet paper. So cool!

Piggy Tales had some cute papers that we recently got into the store.  The reds match my "fired Brick" so well....and you know how I love using my Tim Holtz inks!!

I have a birthday in the family today, so I had to share my creation.

I was playing with this striped paper that reminded me of a vintage feather bed....am I old or what??

Notes from the beach

I am adoring this line of paper from Graphic45 (of course).  The "On the Boardwalk" line is so cool!

Cross Country..state bound

My son and one other team member made another trip to state this year, this time as an individuals and not as part of the team.  But, the good kids on the team made the snowy trek down to WI Rapids to support their efforts.  We had a little bit of snow fall the night before the run on October 31, 2009.

Those school photos....

What do you do with those group photos you get every year?  I put them in the album to start off each year in my son's books.

Easter 2010

Hey, look at me, ahead of the game......for this year anyway.  Easter 2010 is in the book (ok, well, it is actually going to hang in the store for a while, but you know what I mean....)
I loved the pretty eggs on the bottom of this piece of paper, so you can't cover that up....right?  This satin ribbon in purple was the perfect addition to the pretty paper.  To give the chipboard flowers a little more pop I added the epoxy hearts to each petal and one to the center of the other flower.  Something a little fun and different to try.

Ski page

A little daredevil action from my youngest son.  Hard to see in the photo just because I was so far away taking it.  Not easy to take pictures from inside the nice warm ski lodge....lol

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 2010

more pages

I seem to go in streaks....cards cards cards and now pages.

TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 2010

Pages...I did some pages

I did another page using the WeR page protectors in 4x4's.

A quick card

Quick is probably not the right word for this since it took me several days of trial and error  to achieve this folded center.  I was convinced it could be done, I just kept going until it did.
I ended up using a 1/2" pop-dot to get the top layer to clear the folds, but I think that is too big, so next time I will try several stacked up ones to get to maybe a 1/4" to 3/8" instead.  I am going to attempt this one again...maybe you'll see it as a Make & Take on a Thursday down the line.
