cards from this week

made Mother's Day cards and a birthday card this week from card stock, ribbon and some threaded paper :D

Making this card was fun and I really like how it turned out! I used embroidery thread and some paper from Sam Flax to make the cupcake and envelope. The actual card is just some cute card stock glued together.

Jon's Birthday Gift

Since the economy is crap and we're living proof of it I decided to take the shopping out of birthdays this year. My first attempt is my boyfriend Jon and thankfully he's as big a nerd as I am so I figured he wouldn't be hard to please. He likes anything odd or silly so I attempted an alien/monster crochet project and a hand-made card. He seemed to really like them so SUCCESS! Now for the rest of my family I have until June to come up with ideas for their gifts. Wish me luck!
