Patriotic Thank You

I am CASEing this card from B Finley over at Splitcoaststampers.com (Copy and Steal Everything - which acceptable in the crafting world as long as you give credit to the creator).

Fourth of July - A Reason to Celebrate!!

I was inspired by Nancy Riley's patriotic card.

Christmas in July

It is too hot to be outside so I am taking advantage of some free time to make up some notecards.  I plan on donating this four-piece set to a silent auction at NOAH's 13th National Conference in Washington, D.C. 

Our son has albinsim, a birthday present from his daddy and me.  He is an inspiration to me!  NOAH stands for National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation.  You can find out information about on their website - click here.

General directions for these notecards can be found at my June 30, 2010 posting - click here.  To make the poinsettias go to Paula Goff's blog.*

My New Stuff

Couldn't resist, there was one inch of storage space in my craft room and I had to fill it.

Altered Starbuck Frappachino

Well...I tried out my new camera and photo box that should make my digital pictures of my cards and crafts look better; if only I could figure out how to use Photoshop.

First mistake....blue screen shows through the spaces in the altered bottles.

I thought I would share with you my altered Starbuck frappachino bottles. One lucky winner from the Adams/Johnston UMW Circle will receive one of these bottles as a thank you for attending Monday's UMW General Meeting (01/11/10).
