There's been a lot of birthdays lately!

The six week period between the end of January and the beginning of March seems to be packed with birthdays. Normally I really get to "test" my card making skills, having to make a bunch of cards. But I've been busy lately so I pulled several out of my ready-made stash.

But here are a couple I did get created.

I made this one for my mom. It is a gift card holder.













I used a 7 Gypsies Portfolio and Cosmo Cricket papers. Also pulled out a couple of my Stampin Up Stamps.

And this is going postal tomorrow. It's going to be part of a surprise birthday tag book.

We were asked to make a birthday tag. I hope it's ok that my "tag" is a little unconventional...

My latest Submission

I finished up my submission for the Scrapologie DT search. They have beautiful kits. I would sooo love to be on their dt. We had to submit a 12 x 12 layout, an 8.5 x 11 layout, an altered project and a layout describing our artistic style.




I like all the projects, but the altered item is by far my favorite. It's an old window. I used SEI paper for this project. The paper is behind the glass. I stamped To Do List on top of the glass. And I wrote on the glass with dry erase markers. They erase from glass very easily....much easier than they erase from a dry erase board. The right side is obviously a calendar template, the middle is intended to be notes or to-dos. The left could be notes or display of a layout.

Wish me luck!

Well I'm just now getting around to posting my Captured Memories Layouts for the class I'm teaching on March 10. Here they are:
