Cards, cards, cards

I have to agree with my sister. It's fall. Dan and I spent a weekend in. He watched football and the Ryder Cup (golf), while I made cards. It was raining off and on. I made navy bean and ham soup for my lunch this week, as well as cornbread. We made brownies. After slicing them into weight watchers servings, we realized they are hardly worth it.

Here are just a few of the cards I made:

This card for someone on a paper crafting board. She has a co-worker that has uterine cancer and needs some support. I'm sending her this card, along with another one I've made.

This card is for our friends that had us over for poker night.

A halloween card. It's my favorite holiday. I love the way the spider is ripping down the corner of the paper. Dan said I should put a skeleton or something behind the corner, and I think he was right!

This is my first time stapling ribbon to a card. It looks very spoooooooooky!

Beach Scrapbook Page

This summer I have been spending a lot of time using my cricut cutting machine. I mainly use it to make cards and for scrapbook pages. Here are my latest pages, dedicated to a May trip I took to Pacific Beach with my family.

My next mission is to learn how to incorporate stamps into my crafts. I only have one stamp, which I got today. It is in the second picture, in the circle. It's a stamp of lines that you use so that you can write about your page - not too adventurous.

The only problem with making crafts is that as I progressively get better, I look back at my older stuff and think it looks really junky.
