Katya's card

She loved to dance to the N/cracker ballet as a young child when she visted us in DFW area

No more C-mas cards!!!

I'm getting sick of making C-mas cards. I'm still plugging away on my custom made family cards. My idea was to make e/one a custom card since I don't have time to make a present. I hope I don't regret this & it just get thrown in a corner. I have spent alto of time on these.
I have used red line tape w/ glitter
2,my first easel card which has taken me 2 years to do. I have a spatial relationship problem. I had to print out the directions for the measurements. after I made it I understood the concept better. I made an improvised one for Emma since i glue the pic on the wrong side of the card.
3,gateway fold for Katya's card
4 pamphlet fold
5.distressing & tearing uneven edges
6 brayer w/ Big & Juicy pad for a sky
7.watercolor wash w/ color pencil for l/house stamp
8 learned how to mask image w/ the masking tape
I can't post the pic's here since they haven't been mailed yet. My cards can be found on Papercrafterplanet
for those not in my family.
Toby's book taking more time than expected. I didn't want to pay $5? etc for a c/board book plus s&h. they are hard to find in El Paso. DH cut out 8 4x4 pieces for me to use from a cereal box. I had to cover both sides of the pieces.They have been under the book press x3 to dry. I still have to write on the titles, color in the letters on the cover,Mod Podge it so the paper looks neater, & then tape it together. A lot of drying time on this projects. It has images of trucks & trains on it.
I still have 3 more family members cards to work on this week.

Valentine & winter cards on Flickr

I finally have my new cards uploaded on Flickr w/ tags & titles. These are my V-tine cards that got sent to Iraq Jan.20th. Hopefully they will get there in time for them to be able to send home to their sweet hearts.
The winter ones are for my church route for Jan. I colored the digi's w/ my Prism color pencils.
I finally got out my new Scor-pal I got for C-mas. I made about 10 gateway folds w/it. I made some of them into my Feb. Visting teaching cards. I didn't take pic's of them since I want to get them in the mail early this month.
