so frustrated!



Hello all!

I am so frustrated - my camera and computer won't connect for some reason. I am forced to scan my cards in! I HATE that!

Anyway, I made this card for Phindy's Place Challenge Blog. This week their challenge is "Clean and Simple". This card was so simple to make that I ended up making 2 at the same time - hey, I have a LOT of thank yous to make!

So, even though the picture is far from wonderful, I hope you like him!

Taking a break....




Well, I still need thank you cards but I just needed to take a break from making them! I had an idea in mind last night but was just too tired to do anything about it. Today (and yes, this card hs taken ALL day), the whole thing changed as it got made. I still really like the end result!




This card is for several challenges:


1.) Phindy's Place Challenge Blog - Stitched Up! - I wanted to use my little paper sewing machine for this one but couldn't get it to work right so I ended up "sewing" it on the machine with no thread and then going back and hand stitching it! I can never get my stitches to be equal in length otherwise!


2.) Corrosive - Pink and Blue - okay, there is some green in there too but the card is mostly pink and blue!


3.) Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Sketch - I really didn't love this sketch when I first glanced at it, then as I started working with it, I really did enjoy it! I think the end result looks nice!


4.) Digital Tuesday - Dazzle Me! - This is about as glittery/sparkly/or blingy as I get!

One More Thank You!


This card is for my neighbors! Wow, I cannot believe how many gifts his little guy has gotten and he's only 5 days old!

This card is for 2 different challenges:

1.) Delightful Challenges: So Simple! - no DP or Embellies

2.) Papertake Weekly: Sketch

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!


It seems I've been writing/typing/and saying that a lot over the past few days!

I made another thank you card, using the same papers but a different layout and a different Phindy Image. This one also covers two challenges:

1.) Phindy's Challenge Blog - Stitched Up!

2.) Sketch Saturday - Sketch

In desparate need of Thank You Cards!


Well, I thought I had been working on stocking up on baby Thank You's but my stash was sadly lacking (and my friends and family have been very thoughtful!). Sooooo, I have jumped back into crafting and making some more Thank Yous.

This first card is for 2 different challenges:

1.) Phindy's Challenge Blog - Stitched Up! - luckily for me, you can use real or faux stitching!


One of my best projects


I've been missing for a little bit, want to see what I made while I was gone?





My son was born on July 23rd (that was Friday)!

His name is Johnny....

So, now you know why the card production has been a bit slow lately....not to fear, I've already jumped back in and will hopefully have a few more posts today!

Another card from last night!


I told you I stayed up too late last night! This last card is for 4 different challenges. It's a pretty simple card but sometimes I like them that way.

Oh, and, another one only using scraps - really, why do I keep buying paper?

Okay:

1.) Papertake Weekly - In the Garden

2.) Corrosive - Sketch

3.) Dare U 2 Digi Stamp - Stitching
