Grandparent's Day Card 2009

Grandparent's Day is right around the corner...September 13th to be exact. Using Kazan's Sketch 34 from 2 Sketches 4 You, I made some fun cards to send to all the wonderful Grandparents in my life.

I grew up living near both sets of my grandparents and count myself lucky to still have all of them around. I love them all dearly and am so grateful for the examples they've been to me.

Don't forget to show the Grandparents in your life how much you love them!

Card of the Week...

Laura's Sketch 33 from 2 Sketches 4 U was a fun one to work with this week. My camera is crappy and for some reason the Happy Birthday stamp is fuzzy in the picture... I promise this card is lots cuter in real life!

Messenger Style Bags...

My cousin Lorie makes the cutest messenger style bags out of Capri Sun pouches. We visited her booth at Tuacahn last Saturday, and when my girls saw them, they BEGGED me to make some. I finally gave in, and whipped up 3 of them that afternoon.



The handle on this one ripped, so I bought some material from JoAnn's and sewed it on. It's different than the others, but still cute.
My girls get lots of compliments on their bags at school....everyone loves them! They've even got friends who asked if I'd make one for them if they saved up their Capri Sun pouches....we'll see what I can do!

Card of the Week...

I loved Kazan's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 U this week and decided to give it a try...

This is what I came up with....
I can't say that I'm 100% happy with it. I really wish I had a bigger variety of punches and other tools (don't we all?!). I finally figured out how to use my corner rounder punch to make scalloped edges, but as you can see, I still need to work on the corners! This sketch is definitely a keeper though. I will keep playing around with it and maybe I'll post the other cards I make using it....maybe!!
