Scrapbook Deals Sites

It has been a long time.  Sorry.  I have some videos I've been doing on You Tube but I haven't been posting much.  I do want to share a post about my favorite daily deal sites.  It appears that the page which used to have them has disappeared so I want to get them back in one place again.  Here are some good sites for daily deals

Pay-It-Forward from MoeScraps

Pay it Forward




I found this over at http://www.moescrap.com/. she is doing this pay it forward.. so I thought.. what a great idea.. :)



"Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.



"I promise to send an original creation to the 1st 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this, and send something they make to the 1st 5 people who comment on their status."





Here's what you need to do:



1. Leave a comment on this post. I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 commenters.



2. Create a post on your blog offering the same.



3. Send a handmade item to your first 5 commenters.



4. It must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.



Please do not sign up unless you are fully committed to making your 5 items!

Teacher Thank You Cards

Here are some Thank You cards for teachers I made.  I love the paper and the old vintage feel to the images.  The paper was from an older Crate Paper stack I think.  I have been moving away from Cricut and using more premade die cuts and dimensional ephemera.  Thanks for looking.

Here are more cards I made for Mother's Day.  I really enjoy adding trim and lace to the cards.  It makes them unique.

Have a blessed day.

Mother's Day Cards 2011

I haven't posted in a while but not because I haven't been busy.  I've been making mother's day cards and completing swaps for Your Paper Pantry.  I am really getting the hang of swaps and it is helping me to complete my other crafting projects quicker as well.  Here are a few of the Mother's Day cards I have made this year.
