Easter "Chick" Easel Card

I can't seem to find my "notes" on these cards accept that they are A2 Easel cards. I can't remember if I scraplifted this from someone of the messageboard or not. If I did, I can't seem to locate the post that I normally print out.

I remember gluing these together by oil lamp sometime before Easter 2011. We had lost power and my dear husband was out trying to get our generator running, so I sat at the kitchen table with the oil lamp gluing all my Easter cards so I could get them mailed out the next day. I was so afraid that when I looked at them in the "real light" that they would probably be a huge mess, but they turned out GREAT!



Recipe:
Card Base - 4.24" x 11"
Score at 5.5" & 3"
Peachy Keen Stamp Set = PK-520 Winter Face Assortment Package
The chick & nest was cut from Create a Critter, but I don't remember what size they are.
Cuttlebug - D'Vine Swirl embossing folder

Grand-daughter's First Birthday

My grand-daughter is a St. Patrick's Day baby (just like her great-great Grandmother). We had a HUGE 1st birthday party for her at our community center. With trying to get everything planned & decorations made, we went really simple on her birthday invitations.

Of course we had to make a "play" on her being a St. Patrick's day baby and have a shamrock on her invitation and in her decorations.



Recipe:
Shamrocks - 4.73" x 5.15" - Designer's Calendar
Ladybugs - 1.81" x 2" - CM Cheerful Seasons

5.75" x 5.75" - light green cardstock
5.5" x 5.5" - white cardstock
5.25" x 5.25" - lavendar cardstock
5.5" x 5.5" - white cardstock (back of card)(ran through printer with party details)

Pray for Cindy window decals

There is a very sick young lady in my community. They determined that she had encephalitis. She was airlifted to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Many in the community have come together to raise funds to help the family with expenses while she is in the hospital. I wasn't able to help out with much of what was being planned, but I knew that I had to do something.

I created this window decal on my Gypsy to help with the fund raising that is being done.



If you would like more information about Cindy she has a Facebook page: "Keep Up The Fight Cindy".

Thanks for looking and PRAY FOR CINDY,

Toy Story Birthday Invitations

My nephew LOVES Toy Story, so I volunteered to make his birthday invitations.




Recipe:
5.75" x 5.75" - brown cardstock
5.5" x 5.5" - yellow cardstock
5.5" x 5.5" - white cardstok
5.25" x 5.25" - red cardstock
4.75" - Woody and all of his parts

Once I find out all of the "where's" and "when's" I will type it all up and run 5.5" x 5.5" white cardstock through my printer then adhere it to the back of the card.

Melissa


*****EDIT*****
Well, just so everyone knows. According to my post office, cards this size cost more to mail. It weighs as a 44 cent card, but because it is an "odd size" you have to add an additional 20 cents, so be prepared to spend 64 cents to mail a 6 x 6 card/envelope. I found out the hard way as a bunch of my Christmas cards were returned for additional postage.

Etched Glass Blocks

It has been a very busy around here. Here are a few glass blocks I made for Christmas presents this year. I made a total of 15 of these blocks. Sorry, I didn't take pictures of them all, but here a few. I designed all of my images on the Gypsy, cut them on vinyl and applied etching cream.
