The Apple of Someone's Eye

This card was very easy to make:  I have had this dried corn paper for some years, the apple was part of a stack of die cuts I bought at a thrift store for a quarter, the sticker is from a sheet of stickers I found in the classroom/teacher section of Dollar Tree.  I traced the stem and the leaf then cut them out and glued them onto the die cut.  The inside of this card says, "You are the Grade A, #1 apple of someone's eye".

September Secret Pen Pal Cards

The cards for the kids in July are gone; I didn't take a photo of one.  We had just returned from our two-month RV trip to Oregon a week prior and I guess I was out of snyc.

I had made a similar card using yellow and white figured paper, inked the edges, and gave to our granddaughter for her birthday with the appropriate sentiment.

June 2014 Cards for Kids

These cards are all different as I used the four sticker sheets I found at Dollar Tree that had Angry Birds game characters.  The background paper does make the cards hard to see here but are very colorful in real life.

May 2014 Card for Kids

This card is a copy (as close as I could get it) to one I saw on Pinterest some months ago.  I had intended to make this a 'woggle' head card but I just couldn't bring it to fruition.  This one has an inside message:  "Hugs and kisses for an out of this world kid".  The stars are from a sticker pack I bought at Dollar Tree.

Card for Pediatric Patients

This is the card I made this month:  I had run across the grass paper and the sky paper in my stash.  The stamps are from Operation Write Home's fundraiser some months ago.  I put the bunny on a 'woggle' so it would have 'action'.

Latest Shipment to OWH

After slaving away (lol!) despite being sick (hacking cough & slight fever) for about two weeks, I finally filled the large Priority Mail box with 346 cards that I've been working on since after Christmas.  (If you click on the photo, you can see the individual cards better).  This shipment was mostly blank cards and 'miss you'.

This card is a set I ordered from the Stampin' Up SaleABration catalog which I then mounted on a "background" to make it be an A2 card size.  Just wanted a different kinda card choice.

It's really hard to see the detail from the outside...It has the two 'button' closure with baker's twine.

Christmas Cards 2013

Since I've finished making Christmas and winter cards for Operation Write Home and reorganizing my workroom, I've forgotten to take photos of the Christmas cards I've made for my use until I starting making some with the 'leftovers'.

This one is using package tape I happened to see at $$$ Tree and pieces of black and white cardstock I had in my stash.  The "photo" is actually a free sticker set sent with some freebie cards by an organization looking for a donation.
