Hey to you all , have had a very busy day.  Needless to say i haven't posted anything.  Hopeing tomorrow will bring out some crafts.  Tam, your cards are very cute.  Like the stuff you did with the Cuddle Bug papers . 

Thinking of You

This card I made specifically for one of the ladies in my church who helped me out with VBS. She is in the hospital and I thought that this might brighten her day. I cut a sheet of dark green 11 1/2 x 8 card stock in half.(5 1/2) I then folded the dark green card stock in half. I adhered the light green piece of card stock the I had previously used the cuddle bug to do the design. I then used letters from my scrapbooking supplies and adhered them in a diagonal pattern. I then, using the glue runner adhered the sea shells that I had previously cut out using the cricuit. I then used a dark green marker that co-ordinated with both green and outline the shells. I adhered a saying on the inside to complete the card.
All of these cards where made within an hour. I have found a little preparation goes a long way. Save your scraps for you never know when you might be able to use them. I have talked with my sister many a time of making cards ahead of time, and we just never have gotten around to it. I feel guilty when I need to go out and buy a card. Hopefully thru this blog it will encourage me to do more in the cards then I have been doing.

Celebrate

This is one of the cards I had made but was not at all happy with. After posting this I have decided to remove the celebrate and it looks better in my opinion. I used the other half of light blue card stock for the main part of the card and folded that in half. I then adhered with my glue runner, a previously cuddle bug image of Happy Birthday onto the light blue card stock. I then adhered a saying in the inside and was done with the card. So simple but someone will appreciate receiving a card for their birthday.

Summer of sea shells

This card I used a light pale blue piece of 11 1/2 x 8 piece of card stock. I cut it in half at 5 1/2. I then took the one piece of card stock and folded it in half. I had previously cut the sea shells out using the cricuit machine. (I have fallen in love with that machine, if you don't know what one is I highly recommend you look it up) I had also previously used the cuddle bug for the design out of a scrap piece of paper. I adhered the darker blue piece of paper first with my glue runner. Then using the glue runner adhered the sea shells at different angles on the paper. I have found that I like to use an odd number of designs because I feel it gives it a more uniformed look. To finish off the card I used a darker gray blue marker that I though co-ordinated with both blues and outlined the shells given them more definition.
