Tuesday's Card

Tuesday's Card


The red glitter bird was originally going to be a Flamingo. A few
weeks ago I had ordered a custom QK Flamingo die from a scrapbook
store in Tallahassee (Go 'Noles!). I had planned to use them on these
kraft paper cards with a very basic sentiment. Since I'm originally
from Florida, I wanted to use the "warm wishes" sentiment with the
pink flamingo for a nice, Florida-themed card. I cut 20 of these
cards, stamped them, then cut out 20 matching flamingoes. What I
didn't realize until too late was that the flamingoes were HUGE. As
in, a good couple of inches taller then the card. I tried trimming the
legs, but that just made him look awkward.

I guess they are meant for scrapbook pages, not cards. I was a little
disappointed. I suppose I could have cut the cards bigger but I like
using a half sheet of 8 1/2 x 11. Oh well!

So, I have all these kraft cards. And since I was playing with glitter
I decided to do a red glittery bird (BG chipboard). It's cute and will
go to someone local since I'm only mailing perfectly flat cards this
year due to postage.

I cut the letters on my Silhouette using the "Marquee" font. Very cool and nearly identical to the QK alphabet "Spotlight." Plus I can cut at whatever size I want!

The photos are from a birthday trip to Chicago to see Wicked in August of 2006.

Christmas Project #1

My oldest daughter loves word searches, so using a free program on the web and my bind-it-all I'm going to make her a custom word search book with her favorite movies and musicals. Here is a sample wordsearch.

Still Here

Various things have kept me from blogging lately. Well, really only one thing. One really big, feels-like-it-will-never-end kind of thing. Begins with an L and ends with an L. Yes, law school. Still a law student. But at least in less than 10 months I will no longer be a student. I started several Christmas cards last night. If I get some mojo going I'll post the results.
