Update 6/12/11

So the whole idea behind this blog was to get some of the things I have been working on out there. Like I said, there are a group of us that crop about once a month, and we do a challenge with each other, usually as a way to use up some of our leftover supplies. Lately, I have been trying some different paper crafts, so that I don't get tired of scrapbooking. Here is a basket that I made, using cardstock, some mini brads and some ribbon. It came out pretty cute for my first try, I was happy with the results.

My sister tends to be the subject of a lot of my work. I have done a couple of things for her lately. This is a favorite picture of her when she was young, visiting Santa.

Here is a mirror, with pictures of her from very young, to present and when she looks in the mirror, she gets an up to the minute picture of herself.

And, here is a small scrapbook I made to keep for myself with some of my favorite pictures of her.

Finally, here is the Birthday card I created for our card swap for the next crop in July. We will each make 5 cards and will come away with a variety of cards made by everyone in the group. I am really excited to see what everyone comes up with. The front left flap says "On your birthday" in gold, so it didn't photograph very well.

Hope I have sparked some inspiration in those of you who have taken the time to take a peek. Leave a comment if you wish.

Until next time, happy crafting :-)
