Bulk Card Workshop using the new CTMH Wishes book

Last weekend I hosted a workshop. It originally started out being a scrapbooking workshop but since it was only Michelle and I there together we decided to do one of Jeanette Lynton's new Bulk card workshops from the new book Wishes. It's a 20 card workshop, includes all the cutting tempates and card patterns. We split the cards and each kept 10 (sorry only 9 are in the picture). They are all Birthday cards. Now we each have a stash to grab from when we need a Birthday card!

PS....sorry I've been Missing in Action this summer. I've had a lot going on but I hope to get back to crafting soon! I'm open for questions and comments anytime though even if I am not posting!

Father's Day Card

I finally got cracking and made this Father's Day card for Jeff (from Abby).

It's the first time I've tried stictching on my cards. I've always just thought it was

way too time consuming and refused to spend that much time on 1 card. Since

this was for my very special husband who is in Iraq and missing us, I decided to make it extra special. I hope he enjoys it!

For the stitching, I used the placement guide stamp set and then pierced all the dots with my piercing tool prior to stitching. I found that made it so much easier to find the holes from the back of the paper. For anyone who hasn't yet tried stitching on your projects, once you try you'll be hooked!
