dodging potholes

My sister,barb,is going through a rough patch,so I'm trying to cheer her up a bit with a few cards a week(hopefully). The lippencott magazine covers and Raq's challenge(sketch #3) inspired this card. The colors are a bit more vibrant in reality,ew.......I'm not liking this photo.

a quick phone call

A very simple, fast card.I'm sending to tom.we don't see each other often enough.

"Oh waiter"

Saw this cartoon on the internet. I just had to make a card with it.I'm sending it to Lars and Ken.They're both really funny and have a good sense of humour.

flower power

I've seen several cards lately with crocheted flowers,so I thought I'd learn how to make them.I never realized how long it takes to make one!!!!I'm new at it and very slow,plus it's boring to make,so I decided not to put them on cards to be thrown away,(I know ,I think everyone should cherish my cards,but they don't...lol) So anyway,I wound up killing 2 birds with 1 stone. I made my 3 year-old niece a set of four barrettes and mounted them on a card! I hid the barrette with a separate piece of the same "sky" paper,added leaves,grass and a butterfly and there ya go!

RAQ's challenge

There's a sketch challenge on the cricut community board that I've never participated in.Why? Because I look at the sketches so rigidly and literally that it paralyzes me! I thought I'd take a shot at it today. I wish I knew how to post the sketch......I'll try.

my first custom paper

I made my own patterned paper last night and turned it into a card.I had 5 blanks left over so I made 5 more,' assembly line style'. It still took me 5 hours to make 5 cards!!! P.S.same card-different lighting!

Song Titles

MY labels are longer than my entry,but I knew I wouldn't remember if I didn't enter them.My brother,Ken, gave me a dover cd for my  birthday,(last year) so I thought I better use it since he bought me some more for this year's birthday!!!!yeah,I love them.Any how these are the 3 I made.I think aunt Skipper is going to get the second one (july 28) note to self:dont forget!
