Has it been a month already?

Hi folks,

Well, I haven't completely fallen off the crafty map in the last month. I've been busy with a bunch of different things which I hope I can finally get around to sharing before year's end.

Let's see - the last thing I shared was the cards I made for the Christmas card exchange at the annual Pajama Crop at Algonquin College here in Ottawa.

Well, that night I, of course, made more cards!!!

These are cards that I donated to the Ronald McDonald card drive that we also do at the crop every year. For every card you donate, you get an entry for a lovely prize from the crop organizer.  I'm hoping these punny cards make whoever receives them smile.

These are from the Operation Smile Punny Pals promo that CTMH was running earlier this year. I just adapted them to be regular 4.25 x 5.5 cards instead of the 3 x 3 cards from the kit. Did you know that now, in addition to the stamp set there is a perfectly coordinated set of Thin Cuts dies for the critters? Love it!

Here's some close-ups of the four pairs of cards. Click on them to read the punny sentiments.

That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Happy Day

Hi folks,

I had a busy day in my craft room getting cards made for some upcoming birthdays. I'll be sharing them over the course of the next few days.

This is a card for my niece who has a birthday coming in October. She will be twelve this year so I struggled a little with what to do for her card. I didn't want it too be cutesy and I didn't want it to be too grown up. I think it came out just how I wanted.

card details:

• finished size: 5 x 5 inches, white card stock base, black card stock mats
• patterned paper: CTMH Charlotte (retired)
• stamped image and sentiment: CTMH "True Love" D1711 - the current Operation Smile stamp set. You can read more about Operation Smile here.
• embellishmets: CTMH Black Shimmer Trim, 3D Hearts
• layout: Mojo Monday 466

As always, thanks for stopping by!
