WOYWW – When just any old regular card won’t do !!!!!!!!

The times goes so fast – it’s another Wednesday again and my desk for the past two days has been the dinning table. I actually forgot what a production it was to move craft stuff over the house.

It feels like going out with a baby and packing up all the bits and pieces and even when you are done it still seems as if you have forgotten something.

I was on a quest to make a card for my Mom.. In my family we have reach the point where we have no idea what to get her. There is always something to get someone, but my Mom uses up stuff and really there is only so much bric –a –brac to fill those shelves she has and Linen and so forth is also only so much as well.

So the plan was to make a card, packed with as much love as we could put into it and a sit down affair for later on in the evening.….

When I started crafting I used to use the dinner table for all my creations – but once I sorted out my own little area and was able to spread out and have all that nice lovely space – it was a stretch to pack all the bits and pieces around me to get the card done…

But

What fun….

This young lady is why I am crafting downstairs -  I was overseeing homework… and my main craft area is too much of a distraction for her.. She is a mini crafter in the making, she love her scissor and glue a little too much for my liking…

She cuts everything…

So far homework moved along nicely and we spend some quality time together….

After much punching, folding and pasting… a few wonky peel off’s -  I was done.. 

As I said a card pack with all kind of love… So a few nooks and pockets here and there..

Sorry for the photo quality -  These are the tags that are meant to go inside those pockets. I made enough tags for every member of the family to write a personalized message..  (these are quite long tags – the card itself is  4 x 8 when it closes up)

I rarely if ever make cards and I was quite pleased with how this turned out – as I am more a scrap booker kind of crafter..  but the main thing was that I had fun doing this and my Mom loved it..
