What to Do when You Can’t Sleep?

You make cards of course!  Friday night was a hard one!  Woke up at 3 and again at 5.  The first time I went to my craft room to do my coughing so I wouldn’t wake Harry. Started to make a card and by the time I finished I figured it would be safe to go back to bed.  At 5am I gave up and just got up!!  Put a load in the washer and then made another card!!

This first one is using the faux brad technique in Split Coast Stampers. These are so easy and fun to make!  The sentiment is from Squigglefly.com.  There are lots there to choose from and make a very fast and easy card.




Here is another view to see the brad and how the sentiment is laying.  This card is also hand stitched.

Well that’s it for now.  Be sure to check back here tomorrow for our weekly Squigglefly challenge.
Have a great day everyone!

A book is a Garden

Hi everyone!

Here is a card I made last week.  I have been sick since Wed. so never had a chance to post it.  This is a sentiment from Squigglefly.  I got my rose flower die in the mail from MFTS and this is my first “good” flower using it. LOL!  It took a few tries to get the hang of it.

I made this an easel card…..I think they are so showy and cute!

The main sentiment is from Squigglefly.com.  The other is SU. I also used the SU set  Organic Grace.

The Paper is all SU.  Pretty in pink and chocolate chip and white. Used MFTS die namics rose die, MS border punch, circle punches, pearls, MS leaf punch, and glue dots.

Hope you all are having a good weekend!

Here is a picture of what the inside looks like.  There are 2 compartments.  One for a card, the other for the gift card.  This is made by sealing and folding a business envelope in half and cutting off the ends. unfold and run some glue down the center then refold.  You now have two compartments.
