Expecting

My youngest daughter and her husband are expecting their first baby in January. I made this card for them. We are all very excited. I started looking through my knitting patterns and quilt patterns. July isn't the best time to start knitting though, but I'll have lots of time in the fall.

Supplies: Paper & little green leaves - PTI, Stamp - Imaginesce, Flower - unknown, bought in NZ, White border - Martha Stewart

Use up those scraps!

Here's another card that used scraps and paper that I've had for a long time. I am going to make a concerted effort to continue using paper and stamps that I already have and and resist the urge to BUY more. It's hard when there are so many beautiful new products coming out. At least it's cheaper to buy DP than to buy a metre of fabric. I do quilt and used to buy fabric, but my time is limited, I had a shoulder injury and making cards is a much quicker reward than making a quilt! I bought the little felt flowers in NZ, but found very similar ones at Zellers in town.
