My First Pop Up Card








This is my first pop up card that I have ever attempted. I am completely out of my comfort zone on this one. But I made it for a special fella by the name of Vincent. My coworkers son sent me a valentines card and made a paper flower out of SU cardstock. What was so cute about the paper flower it had hands, arms, a face, and I even had a dress on. I just thought the entire ideal was great. I saw the initial card on darlenedesign.



Stamp Set: Thank You Kindly & Woodgrain Background


Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Crumb Cake, and vanilla

Where Have I Been?

Where I have been lately? I recently had the flu for 10 horrible days and really couldn't do much of anything. It felt like I was alive but really dying. I am just glad that I had several people that brought me food even though I wasn't able to eat it all. I would nibble and that was about it. My energy level is back and I am up and moving around. This flu that is out is no joke at all. Of course, the weather at the time wasn't helping it either. So be careful because the flu bug is out there.

Pay It Forward




I participated in this status challenge on Facebook and it was called pay it forward. I had to copy and paste the status to my status and get 5 people that would participate in making and sending our 5 handmade gifts. Being the crafter that I am I couldn't pass this challenge up. I made a very quick but cute thank you card. My scanner isn't scanning working correctly I think it is dying.
