Cards I Made This Weekend

The first five cards were made with Making Memories "Cheeky" paper line -- from a 6x6 paper pad I found at Big Lots. I just love the number paper and the red circle paper. Such rich colors! I added some stamping and other embellishments -- oh, and lots of foam mounting squares.






This card was made with paper scraps (as are most of my cards), a new Hero Arts background stamp (Floating Leaf Pattern) and a new A C Moore Dollar Stamp (Studio G, wood-mounted).


This card was made with some old Making Memories patterned paper scraps (Cosmopolitan collection), a Heidi Swapp "love" stamp and a new Hero Arts stamp (Quote Background).





This card was a quickie using K & Company's and Brenda Walton's line "Neopolitan" and a new Stampin' Up stamp (So Many Sayings). This SU set is fabulous because there are 34 sayings or decorative border stamps in all (set on 3 actual stamps). I chose one "thanks so much."



Finally, I am cheap. I love to buy new things, but I also hate throwing away anything useful. So, after I received a thank you card with this cut mouse image on it, instead of tossing it, I re-purposed it -- recycled it by double-matting the front of the card and a circle-punched stamped sentiment. Sentiment stamp is from a clear acrylic, dollar Studio G stamp set.

Wouldn't you know it?

Little Ben is still awake.   I hear a little kiss when I walk by his room, so I return the audible kiss.  Poor thing.  So, I am still awake -- waiting to turn the hall light off. So, I thought I would take a moment to explain my new meal plan .  I am hoping this will help make the days go more smoothly. I have a 4x6 index file box with dividers and index cards.  On each divider is written a category; my categories are : soups and stews sandwiches breakfast Italian casseroles Mexican beef chicken fish miscellaneous On a card, I write a dinner idea.  Many are pretty simple -- like beef/veggie soup with grilled cheese and salad.  I don't have anything listed that I've never tried.  I am personally tired of feeling guilty because I don't come up with new things.  Instead, I am going to have a container full of ideas, and I can try something when I feel like it. For items with recipes (like the blueberry pancakes I...
