Farm Shape Book

Here is a picture of the Farm Shape Book that I have been working on. 

I haven't ever made a shape book like this before. 

I saw a picture of one on another web site and loved it so I thought I would give it a try.

I am having a hard time getting the inside of this done for some reason.

Well here it is.

I will post pictures of the inside when it is finished.

Thanks for looking.

Tank Birthday Card

Hi again, I have a birthday card that I had to rush to make today.

My dear husband forgot to mention that we had a birthday party today.

I had to hurry and run to the store, buy a present, wrap it and make a card all in an hour and a half.  I have had a very busy morning.

Our friends little boy Nick turned 5 and loves military and GI Joe toys so here is the card I made just for him.

Cartridge used Stand and Salute

Sorry I didn't have time to write down the measurements.

The tank is cut at 3" and is found on page 52. Cut 2 times 1 in green and 1 in black.

I cut the camo at 1 3/4" from page 60.

I wish that I had a little more time to work on this I would have put a little more detail on the tank.

I think Nick had a very good party, he was having fun playing with all of his toys.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Hi everyone, I know that this is a little early for most folks to start on their Christmas projects, but I have been trying to plan ahead this year.  Last year I started in November and was rushing to get everything done.  So I am thinking if I start now and do a little bit each month maybe this year won't be so crazy for me.  I have 24 Christmas cards as of right now that I have to send out (always some last minute ones pop up of course).  I can do 4 a month and take my time doing them and actually enjoy each and every one of the cards instead of the rush, rush, rush of the holidays.

Here is my first card. 

I used the Snow Friends cartridge.

The card is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" in white cardstock.

The brown mat is cut at 5 1/4" x 4".

The blue mat is cut at 5" x 3 3/4". I used the Cuttlebug folder Tiny Bubbles on the blue mat.

I used a corner rounder on all sides and all of the mats and the Swiss Cheese punch.

The snowman is from Snow Friends and is cut at 3 1/2"

and added a polka dot ribbon.

Hope you enjoy.  Thanks for looking.
