A star is born...

I have made several stars including a Christmas one with photos and they are fun to do.  My friend Bonnie came over last week and made her first star with a 4th of July theme.

A friend is moving to a new home giving me the opportunity to make a card.  I have no "house" stamps but on a trip to Michael's this weekend I found, in the dollar bins, dimensional birdhouse stickers they come four to a package one set had the three stickers used on this card plus one more birdhouse.   Easy, easy and inexpensive.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.  ~Jewish Proverb

A couple of Mother's Day cards for inspiration...

 

Using her sewing machine Caryl stitched the word Mom and it took her several hours to get it just right.  Since this may be the only stitched card she will ever make I appreciate it all the more.

INKY FINGERS APRIL CHALLENGE

We met at Christine's house for brunch and each person brought a paper bag with card stock, decorative paper and embellishments. After trading bags and with three different card layouts to choose from we all set out to work and here are the results. The above card was made by Christine.

LOVE THE OWL PUNCH!!!

During the Christmas season Christine and I went to Goodwill looking for used music books.  We found lots of them some even with Christmas music and very inexpensive.   We love the weathered, yellowed pages in these books they add character to a card or scrapbook page.  Here is a card Christine made using a piece from a music page.
