So Excited For Mothers Day

I wish everyone would wake up.  I am so excited for mothers day.  I am not really into jewelry or fancy stuff. So  when my son and hubby asked what I wanted I told them to pick out a pad of DCWV paper.  Can't wait to see.  I'll make a project and post it later.  I also have a project from last night to post. Had to work a long physical day so didn;t get much creating done on NSD(My favorite holiday)

GRADUATION MONEY SLIDE CARD

Here is another money slider card.  I made lots of these and will be making a bunch more.  The patterns very according to school and whether it is for a girls or boy.  For girls IU use fancy booby pins that I find on clearance all over the place. For boys I use metallic paper clips. I make the envelopes by scoring a 8.5X11 piece of paper at 4 & 8".  Then tape up the sides using my ATG tape gun and round the corners with a Creative Memories punch

Strength,Wisdom and Harmony

A while back I had gotten these Japanese themed Outline Stickers-Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I put Sookkwang sticky tape on green paper-(K&Company) covered it in Crystal Glitter Ritz-Cool Highlight. Then colored in the image using Bic Fine Point MarkIts.  Then I cut around the image.  The beige mat is textile wallpaper from a sample book. The Kanji words are from Cricut "Pagoda" and they mean:Strength, Wisdom and Harmony

Yesterday I slammed my hand in the car door.  I am trying to type, it hurts.  Hope to post some projects soon.  It is hard to craft and post with one hand

2 New Favorites

I am really liking the "word" feature on the Pagoda cartridge.  This is the 2nd mothers day card I have made.  There are lots of great card cuts with a word on the bottom.  Some include-friend, daughter, happiness and love to name a few.  If you are like me you will barely be able to see the image in the handbook, unless you bring out the strong reading glasses.  Now my second new favorite is the "Lemon Flower Stack" and matching plain Matstack from DCWV.  I don't usually use a lot of yellow and green in my projects.  I like the color combos in this pack so much that I am thinking of redecorating my studio.  I love this cut from "A Child's Year"  My I have 2 girls and a boy.  My youngest daughter always wore a funny little ponny tail on top of her head and my oldest daughter had her hair like the middle child.  My mom is going to love this card  Also in my family there were three of us. Me, my brother and sister.  Sadly, my sister passed away 8 years ago.  I know this will remind my mom of when we were little
