If you've been following me....

You know I am making assorted cards for my mother-in-law for a Christmas present. She is basically a 'shut-in' and gets upset when things are late. I think she will like them. I was going through the box I've done, and what I have posted on the blog and found a few I think I missed posting--soo--here they are.....

The rooster is from Just Because cartridge and I love the way the rooster came out--but I think it's too small. I'll make another one a little bigger sometime soon.




The sentiment that goes with it is 'something to crow about'! Love it!



This is from the Christmas Card solutions cartridge and I love the way it came out. It probably will be sent by me to someone. I added the ribbon and used a boarder punch on the bottom to make it 'MINE'. I added a little stickles to the wing and then some to the red berries.



I got the bowl of stawberries from Simply Charmed, along with the sentiment. I put the white 'dashes' on the strawberries to make them match the paper--I think it works!

The last one is ME! I love the attitude that goes with it! I got it from a website with verses for cards which helps me when I'm blocked. I think I made the turtle (from Paisley cartridge) just a tad too big...but she is so cute decked out with a ruffle and cherries!!




Well, I think that completes the unposted for now.

Hope you enjoy--and God Bless!

Hugs,
Linda

I'm back to crankin' out cards....

and got a great idea to use this ministry closer to home.

My mother-in-law has never driven a car, and lives in St. Louis. My father-in-law is dealing with a lot of health problems and can't drive a car anymore. My brother and sister-in-law live probably about 25 miles away and my sister-in-law works full-time. My 'b-i-l' is dealing with health problems himself. We just got our Birthday cards stuck in with Laura's bday presents! Why--because she couldn't get out to go shopping for cards. My 'm-i-l's' bday was Sept 16 and I made some cards for her--one from Terry and I and one from Laura. She was almost crying when she told Terry they where the most beautiful cards she had ever gotten. The light came on! I would make her an assortment of card and send her some stamps, so she can keep in touch. Personnal contact with people (not Myspace-Facebook or email) has demenished and as a geneoligist that concerns me for future generations. So I have another mission. More cards must be made!




Yup, a new cartridge. Preserves! Luvin' it! A dear friend had hip surgery a few months ago and now a new knee! She's such a 'peach' so what better card!



Her daughter is dealling with some of her own serious health problems, so thought I would send her 'a bunch' of luv! (get it--a bunch of grapes--a bunch of luv!) Again from the Preserves cartridge.



Yeah, another new cartridge, Simply Charmed. So cute, and this is such a cute easy card. I added some bling on the wheels. I got the brads with the brad 'opener' on HSN on craft day and I would have paid twice that much for it! I have arthritis in my hands and this thingy opens up the brads soooo easy! Love it!



My last card I made little--like a gift card tag--but am thinking about making this my Christmas card--yeah another new cartridge, Christmas Cards!
