Better late than never!

Well, to say I've been a little busy and unable to do much stamping is an understatement. However, this week I've almost finished 4 scrapbook pages - and also worked on some cards. I'm particularly excited about this one since this is an official HOJO (that's me) design! I got this cute Mickey Mouse punch from JoAnns.com and while working on another card, started looking at the punches I had made earlier and wondered if I could configure them into a flower. YUP! Sure can! I did - and this is what I came up with - Enjoy!

A little behind...

Well, I feel like I've been running non-stop since Joseph's birth! Mother's Day has passed and Father's Day is right around the corner and I haven't had a lot of time for "craftsy-ness" and new posts, BUT here are some of my favorite past-Mother's Day/Father's Day cards I've done...Enjoy!

Kari's Lunch Club - My Contribution

So, here's my latest card made for the lunch club I've gone to from time to time over the past few years. (For those who don't know "lunch clubs", you get together, eat, stamp, etc., you get the idea - LOTS of fun!) Thanks, Kari, for the update and invite - it was fun to get back to stamping post Joseph's birth! I've been wanting to try the "Faux Postage" look for awhile but just needed a little kick to do it. I also forced myself to use non-retiring stamps (which was a feat in and of itself since almost 90% of my current sets are retiring come July 1st!) Yikes! What's a stamper to do? Well...buy MORE stamps! :)

Wallet Card Fun!

Ok, I'm bummed that the OUTSIDE photo of my wallet card was too blurry to post and now it is gone...given to a friend from church for her baby shower. However, here is the INSIDE of the wallet card and shows the fun poem. I DID include a penny on the bottom right corner before I gave it to her. It wasn't too time consuming in general but I know I could churn out another one a lot faster now that I've done it already.

Lunch Tin Class

I taught a class recently at church on how to make lunch tins (you could turn them into receipe card holders, or as a card holder sorted by theme, or a memento box, etc., etc.,) Here's a sample of just one of the tins that were made that day (this sample is my friend Kristy's cute tin!) Isn't it too sweet! Too much fun - and really pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
