Good Friend Challenge - Week 2 Results

Mom's cards turned out great too. I love the butterfly stamp with the curvy border! Great job Mom. Thanks for joining us in these challenges. :)

Here are Min's cards for the week. Great work Min! I absolutely love the image stamped on the dark background. I have to try that!

My cards for week 2 did go together really fast. And that is exactly what I need! I will take these to school with me since I never seem to have a thank you card there when I need one.

That completes this week. I am so excited to see what Min has in store for next week.

Good Friend Challenge - Week 2

It is my turn to post the rules for the Good Friend Challenge for Week 2. I am already going to put a little twist on it this week. I hope that will be ok. :)

For this week we are going to really get some cards in our card stash. I am so terrible at just getting some simple cards done. This week the challenge will be more about what you can't use than what you can use.

So...this week you need to make five simple cards. You can use one stamp or one image. This image or stamp needs to be the same on all five cards. You can use MCPT. You can use no more than three different solid colors of cardstock. (You can use white or black solid cardstock in addition to the three colors of cardstock) You can use either a sentiment stamp for your cards or a computer generated sentiment. The sentiment that you choose is your choice. I will make thank you cards because those seem to be mostly what I need right now.

You may not use bling, patterned paper, any type of embellishment, embossing, ribbon, buttons, etc.

This week should really get some cards in our stash. :)

My Christmas Cards are done!!!!!

I just had to put a little post on my blog because I am so happy to have this big project done. I may do some work on envelopes, but at least the cards are done. I am not generally a person that has stuff done early so this feels kind of strange. I am on a roll now so I wonder what my next project will be.

Good Friend Challenge - Week 1

Here is my card for the Good Friend Challenge that my honorary sis Min posted this week. I don't love the job that I did with the MCPT, but I do like the card as a whole.

Circle of Friends Award

I have to thank my honorary sis Min so much for giving me this award. I haven't ever gotten a blog award so this is very exciting. I haven't been blogging enough to have five friends to share this with, but I promise to pass this along as soon as I do.

Thanks again Min!

Halloween Treat Baskets

Here are the Halloween treat baskets that I made this week. I will let my daughter take some for teachers at her school and the rest will be for my co-workers. It feels really early to be working with Halloween stuff, but I know that I will be happy that they are done when October gets here. Thanks to http://www.heartprints.net/ for the inspiration for this project. :)

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

What a fun day I have had today. I got to scrapbook with my step-Mom and neither of us even had to travel. We both enjoyed our first "skypeing" experience. We worked for probably 4 hours together and had such a GREAT time! Technology really is amazing. So...if you haven't tried skypeing, I totally recommend it. Thanks Mom for a great day of scrapbooking!
