What I Do Instead of Laundry

This month's hop is all about fall textures.  I LOVE fall!  Here's my attempt at recreating some of those textures.  I used the Simple Stripes IP for "corduroy", and a bit of rippled felt.  My kids always think Kraft cardstock looks hairy, so there you go!

Two more boy cards for Grandma.  There is another, but apparently I forgot to take a picture of it.  It's a good one, trust me! :) I am loving this frame!  So versatile! Broke out my animals for this one.  Love these. #1 Paper: PTI White, SU blue & orange that I don't know Ink: SU Not Quite Navy, Pumpkin Pie Stamps: PTI Fabulous Frames, Cupcake Collection Other: PTI Fabulous Frames dies, By the Numbers IP #2 Paper: PTI White, Summer Sunrise, Black Ink: Versafine Onyx, PTI Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold, SU Chocolate Chip Stamps: PTI It's a Jungle Out There Other: PTI Sunrise IP, Jungle dies

Here is another card in the Grandma's birthday stash.  Grandma has 29 grandchildren--11 girls and 18 boys.  No, I'm not kidding. I reversed the Swiss Dots-embossed panel, and I like it.  I also saved another paper cutting step by flipping the inside frame upside down so the white would show instead of the pattern. Paper: PTI White, Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist pattern-gingham Ink: PTI Hibiscus Burst Stamps: PTI Pretty Peonies Other: Fabulous Frames dies, Pretty Peonies dies, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder

It's that time of year again when I make all of the birthday cards for my mother-in-law to give to her grandkids.  Here's one of the contenders: Paper: SU Sahara Sand, PTI Enchanted Evening Ink: Versamark, Memento Tuxedo Black Stamps: WMS Half-Pint Heroes, PTI Out On a Limb Other: Copics, White embossing powder, Perfect Pearls mist, dimensional tape, white gel pen
