Favorite time of year...Fall and Operation Write Home!



Since its fall, I decided to post this layout. Very simple with some stamped embellishments. This is my now 13 year old, youngest son...I LOVE this picture of him!
So Tomorrow is World card Making day, and although I don't know If I will be able to take part as I will be traveling to Maine, but I wanted to tell you all that this may be the perfect oppurtunity to make a card or two and make some cards for Operation Write Home , read about it HERE I heard about this from the Gel-A-Tins blog site...see here

So I hope you all have a good weekend! And make some cards!

Occupational Hazards HA HA! and a bunch of cards and one LO

So on Friday I decided to play while I was at work..things were slow might as well get some creative work done lol...Well, I had inked up a stamp, stamped my image perfectly and then..... The phone rang and a client came in and I had to put everything off to the side and  THIS hasppened...
A big ugly ink spot on the folded edge of the card..I was devistated lol...

So I held onto the card...and when I got home showed my Boyfriend Kevin, he said "just toss it and start a new one" Oh no...I couldnt do that I loved the stamped image...and waste a card...what! unheard of!
So Sunday afternoon I sat down in my craft space at his house and was determined to fix it and This is how it came out....

Not to Shabby huh? I Love it!! and really that is all that matters lol...


Here are some of the other cards I made this weekend..You will notice a theme...embossed lines with the stamped sentiment...I got the new scoring tool from Stampin up and I am so happy I did...


I also made another card using some scraps from the layout I had dome the other day... and used a peice of a LYB journal spot or two...

And last but not least.... A Birthday Layout...Did this a few weeks back but figured my birthday just past so it was fitting to post! lol
Well, I hopw you all have a great week..I certainly am off to a great start! Thanks for Visiting!
