Project 365 #81 - coffee cup holders

I thought these coffee cup holders would be a fun way to recycle the ones that come on my coffee from Starbucks. They just seem to make a coffee cup a little more fun! I am entering them in the following challenges (even though they are only the prototypes and hopefully the next batch are a little more snazzy). I laminated the images so they last a little longer than just one use. Thanks for looking!

Project 365 #80 - Joe's baby card

My friend Joe just had a new addition join his family...they now have a brand new baby boy, so I made this card for his wife (cuz he is a guy and just doesn't care about the card)...I am going to enter it in the following challenges:

Order of the Opus Gluei: healthy, wealthy and wise....nothing makes you think of these three things in so many different ways than adding a first baby to a household:http://opus-gluei.blogspot.com/

Project 365 #78 -ribbon tree

So I did this tree card for Jana (she always leaves me nice and funny comments on my blog)...my last post mentioned the ribbon fetish I have and she happened to notice that my last few cards have been sans ribbon...so the Opus Gluei http://opus-gluei.blogspot.com/ challenge this week is to use ribbon in an unusual way....well...half a spool of brown ribbon later and we have a tree trunk...and sparkly fluff for the leaves....this card may look like it was made by someone in kindergarten, but it was lots of fun and has tons of texture to it... And...as for organizing...this is what 600 spools of ribbon looks like condensed into colours and nicely jammed into a bucket...what's that? yes, it all fit into one bucket...wahooo....that room is coming along nicely...soon it might be neat enough to leave the door open - that will be a first!

Project 365 #77 - Mother's Day cards

So I had this disasterous idea to organize my craft room...what was I thinking? I must be crazy, but it is starting to come along nicely...maybe when it is actually done, I will post some pictures?? Anyway, I took a break from organizing (I had no idea that I had 600 spools of ribbon...yikes!) and made these mother's day cards for my mom and Gordie's mom. I am going to enter them in the following challenges: Card positioning systems: sketch: http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/ Cowgirls sunday challenge: mother's day: http://cowgirlssundaystampenchallenge.blogspot.com/ the crafty pad: use any punch (I used a corner punch): http://thecraftypad.blogspot.com/ Raise the bar: mother's day: http://raisethebarchallenge.blogspot.com/ if the shoe fits: mother's day: http://iftheshoefitsscrapit.blogspot.com/ Nutty nutshells: mother's day: http://nutcrafters-nutshells.blogspot.com/ for fun challenges: mother's day: http://forfunchallenges.blogspot.com/
