Post 7 of New "Old" Things - Anniversary Cards

We just travel SO much... lots of time to the same places, but still travel often, I wanted to make this card for our anniversary.

I highlighted the map with stickles to show all the places we've already traveled, and the entire map to show where we still need to go!

I made this card in June of 2008... I look at it now, and like most of it, but realize how much my skills have improved!

June 2008... I cut all these hearts from Plantin Schoolbook... and just had a good time collage-ing!

The designs on the hearts are made with a template - and glaze gel pens.

Happily Ever After was cut from a Disney cart, and the gem highlighted with diamond stickles.

I made these in June of 2008 to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We always give 2 cards...one cute/funny one, one a little more serious.

I'm very excited to say that this year, 2009 my cards will be of much better quality! Having the Cricut and visiting the messageboard for over a year has greatly improved my skills above this level.

CD Case Calendars DONE!

It took me so long to make these - only because I was working on so many other projects, and the calendar just had to wait.

Well, here it is! I've seen so many versions and so many crafters have their own ideas of a calendar. Here's mine!

I figure I'll make another 25 of these or so to give to friends and sell. It will be a busy time getting them all done, but I will set up my assembly-line style, and all of a sudden, I'll be finished.

I hope you enjoy them!

Latest Cards for Soldiers Challenge - Homecoming! 9/8 to 9/22

Our theme for this short challenge was Homecoming. So what do you initially think when someone says Homecoming?? High School! Prom, Court, King, Queen, Princesses on the Court, floats, parade, band, football game you hope your team wins, etc.

After reading the challenge closer, and looking at some of the other comments from the members, I realized it was the Soldier's that are coming home! (Even better than what I initially thought!)

So here is the card I made for the Homecoming challenge. I hope you like it!
