Day 309


I made this card for a RAK card request from Shirley Clark. You can read about it on her blog at www.paperthreads.com/blog/shirleysdesigns. Shirley does this each month, it is the first time I have participated. The cutting file for the card is again from My Scrap Chick. I am in a rut...I need to make cards that don't require a lot of creative thinking, just cut and assemble. The Wishing You Sunny Days is PC Dazzle font cut from vinyl.

Day 308 Naughty card

I can't take full responsibility for this card as I saw something similiar on line. It is a printed card, not cut. I found the stick people on line, I can't remember if they were a font or not. I may send it to my sister, it matches her sense of humor. After I printed it I actually deleted the file from my computer...sad but true. :O)

Day 307


Another My Scrap Chick file from the whimsical winter package. This bird was cut from corediations paper. The wing is the Black Magic paper I used for yesterdays bird. I embossed it with the Cuttlebug swiss dot folder and then sanded it to let the white show through. The Hi is cut from vinyl.
Barn/garage update. The trusses are up! Gavin was lucky enough to be here the day the crane came to put the trusses up. He wondered why a "grampa" was in the crane. :O)
Friday the roof gets started.

Day 306

Another My Scrap Chick card. This bird is part of the whimsical winter package. I cut the bird from Black Magic coredinations paper. It is a textured black on the front and white on the back. It is cool for embossing which you will see on tomorrows post. BUT, it does not do well for fine detail cuts. The bird should have 2 curls on the top of it's head but the way the paper is pressed together makes it fragile for intricate cuts and the second curl fell apart.

Day 305

These cards are 3 variations of the same card. The file I believe was from Carrie at Paperthreads. It is a quick and easy thank you card.

Day 304

I made this card for my Grandson to give to his sister for National Sister's week. When she was non-mobile he always called her "Sweetie". Now that she is on the move and into everything he is always saying "Hailey Grace Klopfer". :O)
The Bunny is from My Scrap Chick. The sweetie is cut from vinyl.

Day 303

Today I had 2 projects. One was to make a tile for my sister's in laws who will be celebrating their 50th. I also put together a bag of about 20 handmade cards for them. They are wonderful people!
 The second was to help where needed on our garage. By noon my husband and brother had the walls up. The rest of the day was spent framing in the windows and getting the walls ready for the steel. It is now ready for the trusses which someone else will do because it requires a crane. It's pretty cool!
