On to my projects; yes, PROJECTS. Sorry, I couldn't pick just one (go figure)!! :) The first one is a card. This time of year my family and I start thinking about Christmas. One of my favorite stories is The Three Trees. It is a very sweet story and means a lot to me. With that story in mind I decided to make this card!
My second project is a countdown calendar. I made it so that it can be used as a countdown as well as a regular calendar. My little ones love it!!!
The numbers are cut at 3 inches and the words are cut at 3/4 inches using the Old West cartridge. The months and numbers are just paper that I mod podged on. I love it (and it helps my little ones with numbers)!! :)
Now onto blog candy. I couldn't get a good picture of my candy, sooooo . . . we're just going to keep it a surprise!!! All you have to do is comment on this post. That's it!!! If you love my work and I can help inspire you then I'd love to have you become a
