(If you are opening this post in a mobile device, be sure and click a second time on the header to go to the blog where the pictures are shown correctly.)
Our October Shoebox Event was hosted by Sharon Fincham and she had such fun Halloween goodies and cards.
Of course, these were filled with goodies that disappeared quickly.
This first card uses a die and stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Sharon’s use of the glimmer paper and silver embossing made the card very special.

Lisa Christensen September Shoebox Event
(If you are opening this post in a mobile device, be sure and click a second time on the header to go to the blog where the pictures are shown correctly.)
It is almost time for the November Shoebox Event so I had better get the September and October events journaled. Lisa Christensen was our hostess and we made two cards. She had numerous stamp sets from which we could choose our greetings, so I made one card a wedding card and one card a birthday card. Take a look:

Isn’t that a beautiful card?! The colors Lisa chose and the variety of dies she used to make a bouquet are just wonderful! I think it is the Big Blossoms Dies from Scrapbook.com.
. You should take a notebook to the scrapbook events so you can write down the products they use.
Should a – would a – could -a!
Lisa’s second card used Designer Series Paper to make a beautiful statement with strips on a panel to bring in the base color.
I can’t even guess the products used on this card but the idea is awesome!
Thank you for stopping by.

Retirement Wishes and Sympathy Wishes

Paul received many cards for his retirement and we also received so many cards expressing sympathy for the passing of my mom. Thank you everyone! This post will display the many cards that were handmade though all the other cards were just as wonderful and touched our hearts. This post is for crafters – and myself- when we are struggling to find a retirement or sympathy idea in a handmade card. We can pull up the blog and type ‘retirement’ or ‘sympathy’ in the search bar and get ideas.
