Gratitude!

Hi there!  I have a new card for you today.  I am kind of in love with it!

I used PTI's ad sense and circle stamps.  I have a new leaf base with ad sense die cuts.  The inks are blueberry sky and new leaf.  The white frame is drawn with a t square and gel pen.  Its that simple.

Can I talk to you a minute about gratitude?  I just have to say I am feeling so grateful today!  Why?  Because my latest Donor's Choose project just got funded- mostly by my friends and family- but also by total strangers who are trusting me with their hard earned cash.  In case you dont know Donor's choose is a non profit that matches teachers in need with donors.  You submit a project, go shopping (online) for the supplies and then you wait and hope people will pick you.  When you get funded all your supplies are shipped to your school.  You use them, take pictures, and have the kids write thank you letters.  Its simple, its amazing, and its so worth while.  I have a link to the page in my side bar.  I don't have any projects up right now but hundreds of other hard working teachers do.  Check it out if you have the chance.  You can donate as little as 5 dollars.

Happy Birthday Die Cut Card

Good Morning Friends!  Do you see a theme lately?  Its like once I cut a piece of cardstock, I cant stop!  This card used Beautiful Blooms 2 and Ad Sense Dies and stamps.  Pretty self explanatory construction, totally not at all what I was going for when I started.  I think it looks better in person than in the photos.  Anyway just thought I'd share.  I have a couple of new cards in different colors that I started last night so maybe something new and different tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping by.

Ad Sense Card Collection

Hello there! Well its been a busy week here! All work and no play! Sorry for the lack of posts, I like to update regularly but sometimes I got nothing! I haven't crafted all week. I made these a few weeks ago.
This uses a newer PTI set called Ad Sense and Simple Circles. The Ad Sense is a really unique set. I love the vintage advertising look- so cute and unique.
Same basic layout on both cards. I wanted to make a little set for someone. Who? I am not sure. These are still in my possession but I will be giving them away soon. Thanks for stopping by today!

Friendship and Other Stuff

Friendship card made with my new Ad Sense set. I really like these stamps, very unique. Of course you will notice my circles. I really like those too. LOL. I've still got 4 more pictures of different cards with those circles.

Other stuff. This guy and his two brothers occasionally visit our backyard. I know raccoons are suppose to be evil, but they are so freaking cute. Whenever they come, late at night, my hubby is usually up so a few days later I find pictures on my camera.
