FALL HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I've missed a couple of days posting cards.  I'm still struggling with the hack we had on our credit card and the fallout from it so I haven't been in the right frame of mind to create.  Since it is Tuesday, I knew I would be tuning in for the weekly video from Rita Holmes.  She was just what I needed this morning because the card below is a result of her inspiration.  Rita did comment that she got the idea from Karen Titus.  I love the way we all share our ideas with each other.

The Cajun Craze strip at the bottom measures 5 1/4" x 3/4".  Dimensionals are added to the strip but only at the left edge and the right edge.  This allows the square on the front to tuck behind it.

If you aren't on Facebook to find her 10/13 video for the .pdf she provides, just send me an email and I can send the .pdf as an attachment for you.

Thank you for coming by today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I used a Stampin' Up! embossing folder for this very quick card.  Before we left for our trip, I had been working on getting things lined up to make Thanksgiving cards after my Halloween cards were done.  SO.....this is the last card I have made up to show.  I need to get busy and get something made for tomorrow!

Thank you so much for coming by today!

 

AUTUMN WISHES

Rita Holmes video on Facebook for October 6th was making a card like this.  The base is a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock.  The little piece on the front opens and one of the leaves on the lower right hand area holds the little card shut.  After I finished and took the picture, I sent the card off to a friend we had visited before coming home from our trip.

Thank you for coming by!

STORYBOOK FRIENDS

 I found the video for this card by Debbie Reed on YouTube.

We just returned home from a trip to Medora ND to see the President Theodore Roosevelt Library.  We loved it!  I may try to share some pictures in a few days  On our way home we naturally had to visit Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument and Custer State Park.  We knew the Buffalo Roundup had taken place the weekend before but we stopped at the Stockades to watch them as they sorted some of the herd.    We love that area of the country.

 Thank you for coming by!

I now have enough Thanksgiving cards for one of the care centers.  It sure feels good to have such a big head start on getting them done.  I am now doing cards for only 3 of the 4 centers because it was just getting too hard to get them all done.  

Thank you for sticking with me through all of these common themed cards!
