Another Rainy Day…

              cards 001 (640x480)

I belong to a monthly card swap over at MaryJane’s Farm Connection and my dear friend, Sharon and I were planning to meet on Monday but unfortunately, she was sick.  So I was on my own….I even got to recycle some garbage….lol…yep, that corn stalk on the right….the husk is from an ear of corn! 

                        cards 003 

 

              cards 005 

Since I was on a roll, I made a few other cards and tags.  I love having them on hand when I need them….and there is nothing better than a handmade gift/card.

                               cards 004 (640x480) 

 

         cards 003 (480x640) 

 

                                       cards 002 

And I loved using my new vintage paper cutter!  A bargain I found this summer, while on a glampin’ trip in Idaho, with my vintage (1969) Shasta 1400.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit…I just want to tell you all how much it means to me, to have such wonderful blogging friends!!!  ;)

    Finding that cutter would have made my year, what a super find!

    LOVE homemade cards and I keep all of them in a special box. It takes a special skill to be creative and you have the talent. What a perfect way to accent a gift than with a handmade card as well.

    Send some rain our way, we could use more than the 2 days we had.

    GOD bless and keep you all safe.

    First of all, love the cards! Now I must tell you that I followed your tute to clean the dishwasher and am so happy to report that I just ran my first load without a single leak!! I still need to buy some CLR and run that through though. Thank you so much for the informative info. We have very hard water and it can wreak havoc!!

    I remember that old cutter from art class. It's so much classier looking than the new plastics!
    You made some beautiful cards-anyone would be happy to recieve such a gift from the hands and heart.
