Quilted blocks!

My blogger friend Suzanne is an expert quilter. She makes beautiful quilts as well as beautiful stamped cards and lovely scrapbook pages :) Recently I decided to try quilting. This is one of my first blocks. It's a pretty basic pattern and I know I have a long way to go - I need to make my stitches closer together I am told - lol! but it was fun to do and eventually my blocks will be sewn into a quilt for a youth shelter to use. I won't be the only one making the quilt. I am working with some of my church friends to finish it. Maybe we'll be done by NEXT winter - he he! It takes us all awhile to finish a block!

How to Make Paper Flowers

After a Scrappy Day at my house, we girls came up with a lovely lot of flowers. They weren't all made from paper either! I'd love to know how you make your own scrapbook flower embellishments. If you have a chance, please do show us how on PaperCraftCentral.com

Doggy Birthday

I had such fun making a doggy birthday card for a friend's pet! Her dog turned 14 the same week that she had a birthday, so I made them a card each :) I took the dog image from a tag I had using my craft knife and added in some golden heart punches to frame him.

I sure hope Max (the dog) likes his special card!

I have a new grandson!

Our new grandson was born this week, so naturally I made him a very special card. I get to meet him tomorrow night so I shall be all prepared! The card sketch was suggested by the people at RubberStampChat as their June sketch challenge. I just had to make a baby card, right? I had never heard the name Ryder before. I guess I'm going to get very used to it now!! Lol! Congratulations to the proud Mummy and Daddy and big sister!

Brayering!

Do you have a brayer? How do you use yours? I put together a couple of ideas for how to use one and made it into an article for Ezine Articles.

Or if you are new to brayering, let me know when you start to use one and how I can see your projects!
