Restocking The Shop

Despite (or maybe because of) the clean craft room, I ventured in to create some cards today. I have been in love with this paper since I first saw it. You might recognize some of it from the wedding album, as it was from a page kit. I liked the kit so well, I bought another one, since I really needed more paper... :p

As always, each card is unique, but since they are all made with the same paper line, they compliment each other nicely. These sets are for sale.

Owl Tell You What...

This was a gift for one of my nieces. She likes owls. :)


There is a fun little book pocket on the inside cover with her name on it.

Birthday Cards

"Do you have any cards with you?"

"No, what do you need?" was my reply.

"My brother's birthday is coming up and I need a birthday card."

So, off to the craft room I went, with nary an idea of what the man (27) was like. Here were my two offerings, she took the first one. (She is a younger sister and slightly mischievous, so I thought she might like the "You're how OLD?" sticker to rib her older brother a bit.)
5" square made from citrus green card stock covered in some old newsprint tissue paper I had in my stash. I added the 7 Gypsies tag and various other metal embellishments as well as the clock face. Inside is a sticker that says Happy Birthday mounted on black textured paper. I selected a black envelope for it and she said she had all sorts of ideas for a fun mailing label.

Creative Imaginations papers, American Crafts ribbon, and I don't remember whose sticker--I have had it in my stash for several years. This card is 6X6 with a white envelope that won't fit inside the plastic sleeve with the card. Oh, well. :)
