Happy Thanksgiving

Here are a series of Thanksgiving cards I made using the same cut but different background papers.  I did get the idea of the cut from Cardz TV and you can see that here:  http://cardztv.blogspot.com/search/label/Freshly%20Picked

I enjoyed making this card so much.  It's for my friend to give to her son for his Birthday, she said anything fish will do.  He really enjoys fishing but this will work too.  I used acetate to place in the front to make the appearance of looking through glass.  It really looks much better in person.

Nifty Fifities Fun

I found the perfect picture frames for this at Micheal's, they have foam tape in between the two mat layers making it lift just enough to put a 3D cut inside.  They came out so good, these were gifts for my Dad's birthday in September to hang in his pool table room.

Conserve Water, Drink.........

My friend asked me to make a card for a friend for his birthday,  She wanted a Golf card, so when I brought her sentiments to pick from...............I just couldn't resist with the beer mug.  He Loved it!

My Craft Space:

My space is a spare bedroom that we made from half of our garage.  We no longer use it for the original purpose, so it is now my craft room.  However, we still have visitors every once in a while so we keep a TV, Dresser and Bed in the room.  I'm actually standing on the bed to take the photo.  Maybe one day I will post individual photos so you can see better.  But for now I think you get the idea and see where I work.

So the real reason of the post is because Cards by Jovan is doing a giveaway.  She has finally revealed wall 4 of her new craft room.  If you haven't seen it yet, it's amazing.  You can see it here: http://www.cardsbyjovan.com/2011/10/craft-room-reveal-wall-four.html

For the give away, you just need to upload a picture of your work area.  The giveaway is a stamp set donated by Emma of "My Creative Time.  If you haven't seen her site, you should she also is amazing.
