This Weeks Challenge

I decided to pratcipate in this weeks ad challenge on the cricut web site the challenge was to use Tan, Olive & Cream in a card.  Here is my card:

Birthday Card for my Son

My son's 21st Birthday is coming up, he plays in a band so I thought this would be a good card for him:

Swapping

I am doing another swap, Candace is hosting for spring and easter items. So here is what I will be mailing out for my swap item this week.

In process



All put together



Here it is used in a card for my friend JoAnn!   

I guess it would help if I explained a swap:  So Candace has fifteem ladies who sign up to each make a Spring or Easter item of thier choosing.  You make 15 of the exact same item, and than send them all to Candace.  Once she has all 15 she than sends us one of each of the fifteen items.  It is a wonderful way to get new inspiration from an item you may not have thought of, or maybe is a different color scheme than you would normally use.

Catching up!

So it has been a while since I blogged.  I have been plenty busy with projects for the holidays though.  5 calendars were the biggest projects this christmas.  I have pictures of two of them to share with you:

Along with many other projects I have been working on some cards for upcoming family events:

Aunt Jane's Birthday

My Aunt Jane, who is also a paper crafter is having a Birthday the end of this month and I wanted to make her something she would enjoy.  So I made her a chip board book with some great pictures of her and members of the family, I also made her a Birthday Card to send along with it.
