I made this for a friend who loves bears. It was fun to make and really not that hard when you know what you are doing.This stamp set was one of the first sets I got. I used it to make cards for my Godson, whose bedroom was full of bears. He in his second year of college now and built like a bear! Hmmmm! I have this sudden urge to make myself ballerina cards.....

Gift Card Holder '11

I made this Gift Card Holder for my sister and my nephews. I used actual wrapping paper for the outside. It's really shiney. The 'bow' is made by glueing wrapping paper to cardstock, than punching the small oval punch first, THEN punch the larger oval punch with the oval hole centered in the punch. Doing it backwards is REALLY hard to do! I used the snowflake punch and added a crystal in the center. The top flips up and the bottom unfolds to show a pocket for the gift card. Hope you like it!

Connor '11



This was Connor's birthday card. Connor is my middle nephew. He calls Tony 'Uncle Hillbilly.' He's not on Facebook and I really need help to get on Twitter. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I am very frustrated. Anyway, Angry Birds can be habit forming and these cards were so much fun to make. I don't know if these guys have names, but I thing hey are cute.

Ronald's Birthday

I know I haven't been posting lately, but I'll try to catch up in the next few days. This is the card I made for my oldest nephew to celebrate his birthday. The day I made this, I was blessed to have Hailey for the afternoon. We enjoyed the time together, but her little hands weren't strong enough to punch all the shapes. By the time we were finished, my hands were so sore! Now if I could just have someone show me how to PLAY Angry Birds, I may get somewhere with the game!
