A Slideshow of Cards I Made This Weekend

The following is a slideshow of cards I made this weekend.

I used the new summer matstack from Die Cuts with a View. These paper pads are perfect for making cards, and I just love these bright colors. These are on sale right now for $5.99 -- making each sheet cost only 4 cents. I buy one of these for each season, and it seems I never run out of paper.


Oh, and the card that has the white chipboard with blue flowers and "for your creative life" is actually a piece I saved from some recent scrapook product packaging. I always try to save what I can from packaging to use on cards. Acid-free and such is not an issue for cards. It's just one more way to be better stewards of the earth.

For items with recipes (like the blueberry pancakes I...
