I picked up a punch on sale the other day that makes these nifty film strips. I played around with one of them and inked it up until it looked like it had been stored in someone’s attic for years. That’s all I’ve done so far.
Right now I’m in the middle of making about a half-dozen sympathy cards. They’re the most difficult type of card I make, but they’re also some of the most appreciated.
This is a great article. I used to do something similar when my children were younger and they wanted to scrapbook with me.

My daughter made me these paper Oz bears for Mother’s Day. I had to photograph them on my Oz chest, too. Aren’t they adorable?!
This is for my daughter’s co-worker. I used one of our fabulous Julia Nutting stamps. She has 3 layers and is sparkled up with rhinestones. I was tickled to see these large stamps will fit on a greeting card after all.
Remember the graduation card I made? I liked it so much I made another one for my niece, only this time it was vertical instead of horizontal. I rarely make two of one card, but sometimes it’s all that will do.
And when it comes to making these feathers, I’ve decided that cardstock is easier to work with than paper. I am now obsessed with making these dern things.
party favor tags. these are a keeper.

I FINISHED MY CONFIGURATION TRAY PROJECT!! can you spot urself in it?
Giant wooden buttons?! Yes, please!
I picked up some unfinished giant wooden buttons from Michael’s (they’re about 2-1/2” across), and challenged myself to finish each one a different way.
The first one is made from sparkly candy-printed card stock (no, they’re not pills), the second is made using a variety of embossing powders, the third is made by layering Washi tape (the blue side is shown unfinished, I forgot to take a photo of it when I was done), and the last one was created using fabric from an old upholstery book.
The pink and green bows are made of vintage seam binding we found at a thrift shop. I love that old stuff. This was such a fun project! More details on my blog: More details on my blog.
