Family Reunion Craft Swap

I am leaving soon to go to a family reunion in North Dakota. It is family on my dad's side. He had 24 brothers and sisters. (12 of which are half brothers and sisters). One of the fun things we will be doing is having a craft swap. Everyone that signed up is bringing 15 items they have made to swap with the others. I decided to make hand made cards. (imagine that!) I will package three cards in a cellophane to be given away. The grand total I made in the past two days was about 60 cards. I wanted to keep it simple since I had to make so many, but I am pleased with how they turned out. As I created my cat Annie slept in the chair next to me. She loves being where I am all throughout the day and I enjoy it too except when she decides to lay down in the middle of all my creating and it is usually on top of my scrapbook paper. She is quite' the cat' and my husband says 'spoiled rotten'. I say, 'I have no idea what he is talking about'.  :D

One of three cards for swap.

Card two for swap.

Card design for the third one was  borrowed from www.simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com
She has an awesome blog and she creates cards very simplistic using white cardstock and ink.

New Paper Craft Projects

I have been working on some new cards for upcoming celebrations. One being a wedding card for a family member who is getting married on Friday evening. We also have a graduation for my niece Amanda on Saturday. She graduates from sign language college and we are going to her party. I am very proud of all her accomplishments and some day I will blog about the wonderful things she has done, because of her love and obedience to the Lord. (she has been a missionary and shown His love to children and adults  in Africa and Haiti.)

Here are some of the cards and other projects I have been working on this week.
