Wedding card

2010-11-14T23:51:00.000-08:00

Cat ATC Cards

2009-05-10T14:49:00.000-07:00

These are my contribution to an ATC swap I did recently. Had to make 5 cards with a cat theme.
Had no preset idea of design when I started but they just developed as I used materials at hand. Pictures from back of a calender, used stamping, collage, ribbon and cat quips from a page of stickers I found at the bottom of the craft box. Was an enjoyable project to do.

Every one loves chocolate and this card included a couple of chocs taped to the insides with a collection of funny chocolate quotes.

Waterfall album

2009-05-03T23:48:00.000-07:00

Waterfall Album

Pull tab and pages flip over to show photos. Found this neat tutorial at http://www.scrapbook-crazy.com/how-to-make-a-waterfall-scrapbook.html

The album is about 6" by 6" and was easy to make. I think heavier card for the pull tab would make it sturdier. Would hold up to 10 photos.
