One more Christmas card done!  I kept this one flat and free of lots of embellishments so that it is easier to mail.  Doing my part, one card at a time, to keep the post office in business.

Our new challenge at Aud Sentiments is to create a project with a Spring or Easter Sentiment.

Hanging With My Peeps



I made this quick and easy vinyl on tile project for one of my sorority sisters.
The tile measures 6x6 so it's the perfect size to be displayed on a side table or coffee table.
I used the Cricut Craft Room to design it.  It's so simple to add text to a project using this program.

Cupcake Thief

 
Today's card is for a special young lady turning 14!  I kept the card free of lots of embellishments since it will need to be mailed.  After coloring with copics, I added glitter to the cupcake frosting, extreme glitter paint to her wings and white embossing emanel with blue sparkles around the edges. I am not sure that it shows up in the pic, but the blue paper is a shiny cardstock.

One of my sorority sisters just became a grandmother. 
We are having a surprise baby shower for her at our next meeting.
She is a young grandma both in age and energy and she is going to have so much fun!
Can't wait until it's my turn to be a grandma...actually I can wait.  My boys are too young to be daddies at this time so I will just dream of future grandbabies.
