What have I been up to?

It's been a very busy time in my world. I am trying to finish up several projects from the past several months. Christmas was great and I had a Tim Holtz holiday, I used my gift cards and coupons to acquire the many Timmy products I've been ougeling for months. So happy and distracted. Instead of working on projects long since started, I've been playing. I did however make my family valentines cards. I am posting them here for you. All of these were made with the valentines Michaels stamps.

Cards i've just finished

The top two are cards made from my scrap drawer for  family members.









This bottom one is made using a bamboo placemat and clearance earrings. It is amazing what you can use for crafting! BTW : not sure why photo looks so weird the background is cream to match the sentiment on top but it scanned looking darker. I WILL figure out this technology some day! LOL!!!

What have I been up to?

This was our daughters homecoming. Here are the pics of what i've been up to. It has been years since i've made these but I guess it's like that old adage.. once you learn to ride a bike... Well I had a great time with it and even taught my girls a thing or two. ( thats always good in my book)
