Summer Sunshine

Posted on July 10, 2009 by Jennifer

I had grand intentions to make spring/Easter cards to send to an immediate portion of my large circle of family and friends. Considering, it is now July and you haven’t seen a spring card grace my blog with its presence, you would be correct in assuming my intention did not come to fruition. I decided instead to make summer cards and save the spring card idea for next year. I made 14 of the following card. These were quick to come together and I made them the last time I stamped at my friend Lori‘s. We’re getting together again this Sunday, so be on the lookout for a card or two Sunday evening or sometime next week.

Cookies & Cards for the Troops

Posted on February 19, 2009 by Jennifer

As you might remember, I made these cookies for the troops back in September with Operation Baking Girls. Well, Stephanie got a thank you from our solider and she posted the card here. You know, it makes me feel good to do nice stuff like this for people and a thank you isn’t necessary. But it especially makes me feel good when the nice stuff I do is appreciated.

On another note, Geeta organized a get-together tonight to make cards for the troops for Operation Hero Mail. While chatting with friends Lori, Veronica, Michelle, Edye, Amy, and Geeta, I made 15 cards to be sent to the troops. See the cards I made below. Aren’t they fun?

A Muse Addicts Shoebox Swap 8/14/08

Posted on August 17, 2008 by Jennifer

Last week, I attended the First Annual A Muse Addicts Shoebox Swap. Don’t tell Geeta, but I don’t know if I am a true A Muse addict. Don’t get me wrong, most A Muse stamps are whimsical and cute, but I would prefer if they were bigger, so you wouldn’t have to use so many to fill up a card. However, I had a blast at the swap. It was the first swap I had ever attended and I thought it was a lot of fun. It made me want to do more swaps. I got to meet Lexi Daly, whom I admire for her work as a designer for Saltbox Studios. We got to make 16 cards and a template for a neat card keeper that Lexi demonstrated.

Inking up Riley

Posted on July 24, 2008 by Jennifer

So, I was lucky enough to get to stay home from work today (or unlucky enough since it was awake since 4:30 not feeling well reason I stayed home). I decided to spend the majority of my afternoon stamping. Not long ago, I had ordered some Riley moose stamps from Hanna Stamps. Some of what I ordered were the 2 cutest St. Patrick’s day stamps for my friend Lori’s birthday (she loves St. Patrick’s day). I also ordered the Baking Riley, the Tractor Riley, and the Fishing Riley. Today, I inked those up.

First off, I used the Fishing Riley to create a birthday card for my nephew who loves to go fishing. He will be eight this Saturday.

Then I decided to finish off the sheet of A Muse Polka Dot cardstock by making a Tractor Riley birthday card. This one will make its way to husband’s friend Ray, whose birthday is tomorrow.
