WEDNESDAY-Afternoon- A Childs card- for a boy- My Creative Time

I met with my Knit wit friends today, it was sad not seeing Lois there (she passed away about a month ago). We are in the process of doing our annual knit wit Christmas sale, last weekend and this next one coming up.  So far, we have exceeded our sales from the previous year and we still have another weekend to go. The money we make from these sales go to help people in our community who are having a rough time making ends meet. We have also contributed to relief efforts in Haiti,Katrina and an orphanage in Soweto. I worked on the ATC's while I was there, I only got two done because everyone kept asking me questions about them.

We have the plumber here now because the master bedroom faucet was leaking, and we could not seem to get it to stop.
Tomorrow I will be thankful for being able to afford the plumber, on second thought, I think I will be thankful right now. There will always be something else to be thankful for tomorrow.



I did get to make a card today.
I used snow angel for this card and I am entering it into My Creative Time over at Emma's (CLICK HERE). The challenge is a card for a child. No shortage of children in our family, so this will be for one of the younger nieces or nephews. This wil be for a boy even though I used pink and a little stickles I think that is OK for little boys. I don't know if the 11 year old will like this although he did dress up as Miss America for Halloween. Blonde wig and all. He was pretty gorgeous. He sent me a picture via phone. Although when I was in MI. he put on part of the costume for me.

I hope you all are having a great day.

MONDAY( PST/TUESDAY(EST)- Celebrate The Occasion Challenge #22 and DT call

Here it is again Team #2's week to design for CELEBRATE the OCCASION  http://celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com/2011/07/challenge-22.html   (CLICK HERE) The theme this week is: Christmas in July with a shaped card.  I always thought round and square were shapes-- I didn't do a sock shape or a mitten shape, which would have been kind of fun, but I liked this shape and I wanted to use the Christmas cards cartridge, another one of those under-used cartridges that I own.  I like the way it came out, a bit on the traditional side, but  now I have some cards done ahead of time.  I was really hoping my new cartridge would have come in before the deadline of this design so I could have used it.  I checked and it will be delivered today.  There is always another challenge.  This challenge is open to all of you until 11:59 on July 17th. Please click on the link above to go and check out all the other designers and leave them a comment. Also, today is the last day for the DT call.  All the info is at CTO

My minds eye paper
the sentiment is from Quick kutz dies

Oh guess what the mail was really really late today --- Like after dinner , but I managed to make this shaped card 1/2 hour before final viewing.  It fits in an A2 card  envelope I also used the quick kutz die for the sentiment


I hope you are all having a great evening, Thanks for coming and visiting my blog
