Annes wedding shower card and Envie

Hello Friends!

I have been having troubles posting!...no surprise there. HELP, EMILY!!!!! Anyway, I'll try again, persistence is the key.

Last night, I attended the bridal shower of a very special lady. Anne used to babysit Emily for us. This is the card and envelope I made for Anne's shower. I combined several ideas from cards on SCS until I came up with a card I loved.

Card Sketches

I recently purchased a card magazine which contained sketches, (drawings), of cards. Below are my takes of 3 different sketches.

Scallop die quilted purse

Okay, I'll admit, it has been a while since I have been near the sewing machine. However, when I saw some of the pictures of tote bags using the scallop die and the Big shot, I knew I had to try it out. These are so simple to make!

Thank you, Emily, for setting up my blog and trying to help your computer illiterate mother figure it out! I appreciate you and love you very much.

New Blog!

Hi! I'm Emily. This is my mom's blog. She is not very good with learning new technology so I had to teach her how to get a blog. She was asking me how to put a picture on a post, apparently all she thought she could do with a post is "type words". So here is me showing her how to post a post with a picture. It just so happens that this is a picture of a new, shiny penny. Anyways, welcome to my mom's blog and she should be posting shortly!
