Woofs

I've been doing a lot of purging of old craft supplies lately and the good thing about that is I find things that I like and forgot about and finally make some cards with them.  I found this fence die, unopened, I have no clue when I got it, but it was time to do something with it.  I use the cute dog die a lot, just because they're so easy to put together.  I just used brushes on the sky and I had some green grass printed paper, so these two cards were a snap.

Thanks for looking at my blog, Carol!  I hope things are going well with you and that you're weather hasn't been too awful so far.  

 

Birthday Monsters

Had some issues posting on the blog lately, internet seems really slow right now and intermittent.  Might be the stupid weather!  These cards are for the heroes to send back to their kiddos.  I came across the sheet of cardstock while cleaning things out and just had to use it up.

 

Springtime Flowers

 

Just some quick cards using old dies that I haven't touched in a long time.  These took very little time and I was able to use up some scraps that were in the huge stash pile.  I've been spending a lot of time going through "stuff", of which I have WAY too much of. 

Thanks for looking.  

More Shakers

I made these shortly after the crabs but failed to take photos or post.  It seems that winter is sort of getting me down and although I'm still making cards for soldiers, I just forget to take photos and to do posts.  

 

Snappy Birthday

Back to working on some shaker cards - I enjoy making these and Mr. Crabby is one of my favorites.  They'll go in the pile for future mailings.  They're fast and easy to make.   Thanks for looking!

 

Joy

Working ahead for the heroes for next year.  I had trouble finding shiny gold cardstock in the local store but found one 12x12 sheet underneath some glitter papers on my shelf.  I used an old die and whipped these up.  After I ran out of gold, I used up a scrap of shiny silver paper.  These are already in their clear plastic envelopes to send off next year.  

 

Christmas Doors

Fortunately, I don't have a lot of Christmas cards to send out this year.  I used this die set from Concord & 9th to make these.  They actually came together pretty quickly and I really enjoyed making them, even all the gluing!  I sprayed some of the doors with Tim Holtz mica spray and then realized it was rubbing off on my hands, so I hit them with a good coating of hairspray.  I cut the ornaments from shiny red paper and used glitter white for the snow on the windows.
