Card Time

We had two events on one day today, so it's divide and conquer time. My husband has gone to a wedding of a dear friend who was one of his mentors when he started teaching and I'm headed out to a baby shower for the granddaughter of a friend. So I made two cards this morning. I only got a picture of the baby card, since Jeff had to drive 3 hours to get to the wedding and needed to take off. For both cards I used Juliane Tags from K and Company, ribbons and for the baby card a cute butterfly and flower. For the baby card, I had a ribbon tag that I wanted to use with the word "precious" and I used a clear sticker that said "Love and Laughter" and instead of the flower and butterfly, I used a organza bow. For that one I used one single white grosgrain ribbon across the front.  For the baby, I had 3 narrow ribbons using colors the mom used for the baby room.

Christmas Gifts Number 1

I'm working on some gifts for Christmas. The first is a set of handmade cards. The bird cards use stamps from Stampin' Up and say "Hello There" The flower uses a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Stampin' Up stamp "You've got a friend in me" and the bouquet uses another Cuttlebug folder and a Stampin' Up stamp that says, "A special note of thanks" I added ribbon to these after running them through my Xyron X. It's hard to tell in the scans, but the flower is on two shades of blue. The rest use various scraps I had. All the ink is Versa Magic multi-surface chalk ink. I have at least one more project to finish. I'll post samples of it when I complete it.

Some Scrapping!

Well, cards actually, but hey, I used my Cuttlebug, inks, Bazzil, and ribbons!

These are thank yous for the friends who brought us meals after my surgery. I didn't think I'd like the tan one when I first embossed it, but now it's my favorite.
