My crafty friend brought my crafty Christmas gifts yesterday and one of them was a really cool paper organizer. So I was intending to sit down and Organize... Instead, I looked at my paper and began, cutting tearing.... until.. I had cards.... Quite a few cards!
You'll be happy to hear, I did end up cleaning the craft area later in the night.. But not until I got these all complete. Including a card Veg made for one of his teachers. And another not pictured here for Hubby's co-worker. (he stuck it in an envelope before I could get my camera ready)
The first two are using that homemade paper from last week. I really like the way the colors look, Girly girl colors, but these cards are only those my Mother would love...
Being that dryer lint was used in the paper making process, there is plenty of dog hair to make these cards only special to those that would appreciate a card with dog hair built in...
While cleaning up the craft area, I found an old book my hubby brought home, that had ideas in it.. And there was one for this Chinese treasure box. I didn't quite make a box but used the design to make this card... Its not perfect, but it is my first attempt at this funky creation.. If you want the template, let me know and I can scan it (I think)..
Here is the top all folded and closed
Here is the top, when its open....
And this little tree with apples for ornaments, was thought up in a quick way, while Veg was using his sponges to decorate paper. And I was putting my new "teacher" paper away from my friend...Here is what we came up with...
