Happy Monday!
Ahhh ... I'm really starting to get into this relaxing business ... just in time to start gearing up for the New Year classes and promotions *lol* ... Oh well ... I'd be really bored if I sat around in my yoga pants much longer (and they wouldn't FIT if I didn't get back on track with the healthy living I've been trying to adopt!!!)
This weekend I got a bunch of crafting in ... and REALLY enjoyed it. I don't often craft just for fun but that's what I did - SO relaxing!! I'll share one of the cards I came up with tomorrow ... but today I want to show you the Thank You cards I made for the girls to give out. As you know by now - NOT sending a thank you not is NOT an option in my house. You get a present, you send a thank you. Period. No discussion. Well ... they TRY to discuss it ... and negotiate it away ... and whine a LOT about it ... and *promise I'll do it later* ... but Mom is a hard ass. You don't do it - I tell the people not to get you a present next year. They know I mean business and they do it! Here is what I whipped up this year:
Look familiar? It should - I made the same card a while back but in different colors. For this card I used some retired "Manhattan" DSP for the back paper layer, then a piece of Whisper White stamped in Old Olive with the Oh, Hello sentiment ($22.95 clear), splotched some Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Crumb Cake blobs using the Gorgeous Grunge set and attached it all using the Season of Style Washi Tape. So quick and easy!! I love this card layout - it's my "go-to" card for quick and easy!
I also wanted to share the Christmas cards that Rebecca made for all of us. She made green for the boys and red for the girls:
Aren't they great?! Last summer I was at a garage sale and bought this retired set - I just KNEW it would be a great one for the kids to use! I stamped the images in Staz-on and then she colored them. The paper is from Michaels (NO I don't let them use my *good* paper!!!!). The images are punched out with the 1 3/8" circle punch and the black ones with the 1 3/4" punch. they turned out really great! My little card-maker-in-training :)
That's it for today - pop in again tomorrow(ish) to check out my latest Valentine card! Until then ... have a stampy day!
