Give Thanks

This is the Thanksgiving card that I made to give to our grandson, Tyler. I should have made this a 5x7 card so the Build a Bear would fit better, but after it was all done I kind of liked the look of him off the side of the card. Thank you to Barb R on the Stampin' Connection for this cute idea.

Love Inspired

My daughter Julie said that she loves the posts I make when I have “Charlie Inspired cards.”  I must admit they are fun to make because he comes over with the cutest clothes.  One day when Gracie (our granddaughter) came over she couldn’t wait to show me the cute shirt her grandma Fran gave her and how I needed to take her picture.  She knew eventually I would get to making a card that was inspired by her shirt.

How fun!!  This is Gracie…. and…

Here is a close up of her shirt… 

And… here is the card I made…       
  and the inside.

This looks like it would make a great Valentine card.  Maybe Gracie would like to give it to her Pre-K teacher next year.  Hmmm…
