From December 2008 through December 2011- our group of ladies have sent 6,117 cards to the troops.
IF YOU WANT TO VIEW A PICTURE JUST CLICK ON IT AND IT WILL ENLARGE.
As most of you know that I belong to an online group called "The Crop Room". I signed up for the Bits and Pieces Challenge in the crop room and yesterday a package of goodies was delivered to my home and I had to create a card and have it posted by Sept 25. We I got to work right away and this is what I created.
Several of my friends have talked about the Cork N Canvas classes, where you go and socialize, have a bit of wine, then you paint a simple picture on a canvas. Well last Thursday after work I stopped at Wal-mart and bought a 16 x 20 canvas and a small arylic paint set, and some brushes. Then I went home and searched the internet for some clipart to use in my picture, since I do not draw very well. I traced the jester hat, the fleur de lis, the saxphone and the street car. I free handed the street lamp, the house, the St. Louis Cathderal, the piano keys, and the tabasco bottle. I have to say that it took me 5 -1/2 days to complete this painting. It will a challenge to me to see if I could accomplish this on my own with no intructions. I think I did a pretty good job.
here is a better shot of the paper piecing. Sorry for the bad photos. I did not take them out of the page protectors
The stars on this layout was pop dotted. Used stickles on the hat of the moon.
use the stickles on all the bubbles,also used the chalk to highlight the bubbles different colors.
the teddy bear is an image I found on the net and recolored it using my new copic sketch markers.
The teddy bear on the moon is a paper piecing I made I also used stickles to outline the stars.
page 2 of the album the baby's feet and hand prints will go on this page.
page 3 is the page for the baby's first name, which is going to be Cassidy. Baby is due for November, but they don't think the mommy will carry that long.
The album was purchased at Wal-mart for $15.00. the extra page protector was purchased at Scrappin Friendzee (10 pack) for $3.99 the brand was Dovercraft.
this is the first page of my album. The fonts was earwig on Microsoft word, and the stork with the baby is a paper piecing that I made.
taught a christmas card class at Scrappin Friendzee in the month of August. Here are the finished cards for all that took the class. Ought they awesome.
these little teddy bear paper piecing went well with the "Daddy's Sweetheart" sticker from Miss Elizabeth. I use my red copic pen to color in the hear.
These cute little girl images was found on the net, I inked the edges of all of them, then use micro soft word to do my title for the page.
another bath page. These were fun paper piecings to make. I also use the stickles on the bubbles. I just love the stickles.
This is the paper piecing class that I taught at Shey Lynne's August crop.
