My Cluttered Workspace

What starts off as a nice clean 4' X 3' work area usually get's whittled down to a 6" X 6" area when I'm all through crafting. After my latest stamping frenzy that's precisely what I ended up with. One of these days I will have the beautifully organized craft rooms but for now I'll take what I can get.

For Heather

My friend and high school classmate, Heather Stephenson, recently had an engagement party in Libby. I haven't seen Heather since our 10 year reunion and thanks to Facebook we have recently gotten in touch again. I decided to make her a bunch of Thank You cards as I knew she'd be traveling by plane and didn't want to overload her with a heavy crystal salad bowl.


I love this paper but it's so busy in itself that I just stamped the Thank You right on top of it.

Our friend and fellow GAB bookclub member, Faye Williams, had a baby girl this summer, Marie Isabelle. It was so fun to see the little pink pixie at her baby shower. Along with some new baby outfits (I couldn't help myself as it's been forever since I've browsed the baby section) I made her these thank you cards.

Wife Cards

My Wife Cards have gone over really well which makes me happy. I try and make more then one at a time so when I hear of a man who's having a birthday I can quick go through my stash and put together the package for them.

Summer CD Challenge

Made CD Label with Click n Design and imported my own background. I scanned in SU!'s Flamingo paper so I could size it to what I needed and also because I didn't have enough paper to make 8 cd covers.


Inside cover: Wrote song titles over background paper using Microsoft Publisher and inserted small picture of the same photo used for CD label. I made a pocket for the cd by sewing it into place.


Cover size 5 1/2" X 5 1/2"

WHAT IS A SUMMER CD CHALLENGE???

My friend Jackie Carter puts together these great cd challenges. She basically comes up with a theme - summer in this case - and then comes up with certain criteria such as: finding a song with "ocean" in the title or content, a cruising song, song that evokes a special summer memory etc. Our title had to be a song lyric from the 5th song on our cd which for me happens to be Radio Song by REM.

It was a lot of fun putting it together and I'm looking forward to see what others have put on their CD.
