invatations

Yesterday I was talking to my Daughter and some how we started on Jacobs birthday coming in January, anyway they are in California and I'm in Wisconsin, she said if she would have been thinking she would have asked me to make Jacob's invitations (because that is what I do) so I asked her when she would mail them out and I told her I have plenty of time. Just need to know what he likes! this is what I came up with.
Had to give him a snow theme since they don't see much snow where they are.
Made 18 of these little guys, I left the inside blank so they can write what they need inside.
Now off the California we go...

square corner fold

I have not seen a square corner fold on YouTube, I may have just not looked enough, so I tried  it on my own. I think it turned out pretty good with the double sided paper I used. I don't have Olaf, so my doodle charms snowman worked just fine.

puzzle background.

My it has been a long time since I have posted anything, so I will be doing them in groups to save some time, awhile back there was this puzzle free in design space, when I find something I don't own I tend to make several.

Cards of course if you are a card maker. Although I have to say I did not plan on giving them anything until my sister asked what I was giving Aunt Shirley and Uncle Jim...my jaw dropped and said nothing. But cards are small, nice and useful.
I did put a little more thought into these and finished off the inside of each card.

a sympathy card

donation cards

good morning to all,  My daughter is graduating  from high school in a few weeks. Every year the school asks for donations to be given away at the party for the kids following their ceremony.  Suggestions have been gas cards, laundry supplies, stuff they will need in the real world. I am not even sure if they want these but I am ready if they do!!! I will add pens and stamps to the gift basket if needed. I tried to think of things that kids would miss when off to college   like home, baked goods, a washing machine,,,it was also a great way to use up some of my scraps.  I left them all blank inside for writing room.

    

My oldest daughter is turning 38

Today is a good day to stay inside and catch up on things. It is bitter cold here in WI and schools are already closed for tomorrow. I know I am not the only one in bad weather and I also know there is worse out there. So my prayer to all is for you to be safe and stay warm, and for all going to the Packer game....safety first.

Hi all, I thought I would should you the last few I made in 2013 before I showed the start of  2014

sympathy for family

Good morning to all, now let me see if I remember what I am doing to post my cards, it has been a while!
things have been crazy around here for some time now, with my mother having back surgery this summer to them finding a mass on her lung during a routine x-ray and it turning out to be cancer, they removed 40% of her left lung, For everything she has been through this year, she is doing well. She decided not to go with the chemo and radiation, because she is just wore out and the treatments are not guaranteed. She is 84 and we kids respect her decision.
On Nov. 2nd my daughter was in a car accident, we are blessed she is alive, she got severe whip lash, her left should is banged up and her back, the chiropractor did not sugar coat anything when he talked to her, he also said that she could be worse off and be paralized.

this first card is for my husbands cousin who lost his wife yesterday, she was only 64,  Not only are sympathy cards hard for me to make, but it also being winter (no butterflies) so I hope this is fine!

for the wedding the bridal party had mason jar that had a candle stick hot glued to the bottom, pretty cool!
all part of the country theme. 

Herb's 59th BD

Hi all, I have the house to myself today, the guys are in the field, Britt is with her boyfriend and I made this card today in between my chorses.
I am hoping  there is some green in the fields in a couple of weeks when it is my hubby's bd.
I changed the hat to a baseball type cap because that is the kind he wears all the time, I put a little pioneer seed logo on the cap, the tractor is from beep beep. I add a smile to the bear because Herb always has a silly grin on his face...

 and in a few months they will be back on the field to pick the corn for the silos
