Our Family Has Grown by 2 Feet

I'm a great grandma again. And this time it's a boy. Meet Brayden. He was born Oct. 1. And look...he's already an Ohio State Buckeye fan. Go Brayden!....Go Bucks!

Gift Card Holders

I've seen many gift card holders online that I like. This was a cute style so I decided to try one of these first. It would work nicely for a guy.

I like the way the pocket is made inside.

As you can see, the card pocket swings so there is plenty of room for writing inside or adding a sentiment. I plan to make more of this style for holliday giving.
You can find intructions on making this at http://scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/scrapbook_cards_today_blo/2012/09/more-fun-gift-card-ideas-with-emily-pitts.html.
Happy card making.

Learning New Things

My sister's daughter came to visit a few months ago along with her two sons and stayed a couple days. We always love seeing them and are amazed at how much the boys have grown since we saw them last. They're such great, well mannered fellas. Love them to pieces. While they were here, my neice gave us a private class on card making. She teaches classes at Micheals and we'd love to go to one sometime. I wanted to share what we made. I love them all but the dress and the clear card are my favorites.

These were such great fun. Hope they give you some ideas on designs to try.
I have a couple others to post and will try to do that today. Until then..enjoy and have a great day.
