The Big 4-0...

We went to one of my closest cousin's Surprise 40th Birthday Party today and I wanted to make her a card. (She's one of the only people who really appreciates my homemade cards- I make them for all of her kids' birthdays) I really love all of the shaped cards and layers that Donna Mundinger does at her Popsicletoes blog so I thought I would give it a try. There are lots of popdots!

I'm Back! Here's a little card I made today

Finally... I took some time for me today and designed a little card for my fiance'. We've had a little visitor over the weekend and he took care of the little problem. So, I decided to design him a little mouse card using my Gypsy. I used lots of foam dots and lugged out my sewing machine to do some stitching. Boy did it feel good to lose myself in my crafting even if it was only 45 minutes of my day.
