Rest of the cards

12/15/2009

Yesterday I went over to a friend's house to work on Christmas cards, wrap presents, and learn how to make bows.  My friend works with a missionary organization in Romania....Heart to Heart.  They run an orphanage over there and a training facility for the kids that are aging out of the system.  We wrapped gifts for the girls that are transitioning out of the program.  One of the girls wants to be a chef and the other two want to go into cosmotology.  They also wrapped gifts for the current residents.  Then we made about 10 cards for the people over there.  It was a great time with good food, good company, and lots of laughter.

There will be a team that goes out this Christmas to deliver all of the packages.  It was good to be a part of such a good cause.  Hopefully one day I'll be able to go out to meet some of these kids in Romania.  But I have to renew my passport first.

Well here are the rest of the cards I made from the other day.  Enjoy and have a great week as we head into the final week before Christmas.  Hard to believe it is only a week and a half away.  Happy scrapping!!!

Paper Pups

12/14/2009

On Saturday it rained all day.  It was good for me because it gave me plenty of time to clean up my scrapbook room and make some new projects.  It was a great feeling to accomplish two major goals without too many distractions. 

I pulled out the Paper Pups cartridge to see what I could make with it.  I can't believe how many cards I came up with in a day.  I find that it is easier and faster to cut out a bunch of images and then decide what to do with them later.  This does 2 things:  it saves time and paper.  After I cut out the images, I go back through all my scrap papers and just try to mix and match papers that I think will work well together.  After I get the front of the card  made, I go back and put on a title and/or add a vellum quote on the inside.  Most of the time I leave the cards blank. 

I love blank note cards because I love letters that express the person's thoughts rather than Hallmark's.  In this digital age, I think we have lost the art of letter writing to e-mail and text messaging.  I'd much rather get a handwritten card from my husband, instead of a card that he just signed his name on. 

I digress.  Here are the pictures of my latest creations.  I hope you like them.  Have a great wekk.

New cards

Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving with all of your friends and family.  It is such a blessing at this busy time of year to stop and reflect on all that we have to be grateful for.  After spending time with family, and friends and going to all the after Thanksgiving sales, I decided to make a few cards.

A few weeks ago, I bought the Paper Pups cartridge for my Cricut so that I could be part of a show for thee Humane Society.  There is no way that I will be able to put enough things together for the show by the 5th of December, so I decided to cancel that show and start working on some projects that I could use if they have a show in the spring.  So I started playing around with this cartridge and came up with some really cute Valentine's Day Cards.  I know we aren't even done with Christmas yet, but I kinda got tired of making Christmas cards already and I need a break from it.  I used the scallop cuts from Graphically speaking and the circles are from George Basic Shapes.  I made all of the circles yesterday and I glued them to the cards this morning, so it made for a pretty quick and easy way to get a lot of cards done in a hurry.  I can't believe I actually ended up making 14 cards total today---Wooo Whoo!!!  I'll show you half the cards today and the other half later this week.  Have an awesome week and have fun crafting away.
