Felted Cardstock Technique.

This card was made with the new technique on Splitcoast. Its called Felted Cardstock. You use decorated napkins. The greeting is from Grateful Greetings from the Mini Holiday Catty. I wanted to do some stitching around the border but my sewing machine is in storage.

Fun Box!!

I made a couple of these in case I see some cool 3D swaps. For the life of me I cant remember whose blog I took the directions from. So if you know whom or its yours. PLEASE let me know so I can give you credit.

More Swap Cards

Here some more swap cards I have made.

I have an excuse!!

I know it has been forever since I last updated. But I have been soooo busy. My husband deployed, I moved all my household goods into storage and drove from WA to MI with 2 kids. So now things are settling down and I have LOTS of free time now. Here is the first cards I started to make for swaps at the Cincinnati, OH regional. Im soo excited, Im bringing my mom as guest. Its going to be soo much fun.

Sorry the photo isnt perfect. Im lazy and just took a pic with my webcam.

I have no excuse!

I just havent been doing much stamping the last couple of months. All I really got to show is this birthday party invite I made for my son's party. Im having a party with my good friend who's daughter is also turning 2 in April. Its a Yo Gabba Gabba/Elmo theme. I havent even gotten around to making the thank you's and the party is next Saturday!! We have ran into a slight problem with our pay so we are cutting back on our "fun" purchases. Can you believe that I havent bought ANYTHING from the new catalog!! Its driving me insane. But unless I get some orders or workshops the next quater, Ill have to keep myself active so then Ill get some fun stuff. LOL

On a different note all together. I am moving back to MI while my husband is deployed. I am very excited to see MI again. All you MI folk need to book alot of parties and keep me busy for a year too keep my mind off the obvious lack of person. :)

Baby Card for FRG

My husband is in the Army. A Stryker Brigade to be exact. For those of you wondering what a stryker is, its what I stamped in the card I made today. My FRG(family readiness group) learned I make cards and asked me to make some neutral baby cards to give out to the other girls in the battalion. I found this stryker stamp at a craft show on post and just had to have it. So this is what I made up as an example to show my FRG leader at todays meeting. Hopefully she likes it cause it was hard to think up a card designed around the stryker and still have it baby ordinated.

Stocking Name Tags

I bought two knitted stockings at Jo Anns and of course they have no names on them. So I made these two name tags for them. I used a snowflake die cut and rolled them out using chip board and green paper. Then stamped red snowflakes on them. I dabbed some white craft ink on the letters and covered them in glitter. I love glitter, its make any project so much better. Dont you just love the ridding hood ribbon??? Im going to have to order some more cause Ive been using it on everything! Thank god SU! offers more than 2 letters per letter on their chip board sheets or I wouldnt have been able to make my name in all the same style.
