Two bird cards and last chance for BLOG CANDY!

Here are a couple of cute little bird cards I made several weeks ago and just got around to photographing and posting (time flies!). This was the first time I actually played with SU's kraft paper - love it! - and my first card using CTMH's new felt shapes - love those little birds!

Point No Point Lighthouse


Just wanted to share this beautiful photo I took the other day. We took a little detour on our way home from my niece's birthday party in Woodinville on Sunday and stopped at Point No Point Lighthouse. Pretty neat, huh?!?!

Friend card using Emporium paper

A simple card I made the other day using CTMH's Emporium Level 2 paper pack. I punched the flower shape out of the side of the 4 piece paper square and then I popped up the flower to add more dimension - a little hard to see in this photo, but I hope you get the idea!

Jump! card

I made this card with a Close To My Heart stamp set called Jump! I first bought this stamp set back when I became a consultant with CTMH (about 3 years ago) and this is the first time I've used it!!! I thought it was an appropriate theme for this time of year as we are just about ready to pick the apples from our Gravenstein tree!!! Enjoy!

So I have an interview on Friday, August 28 for a job I really want with the school district. I'm already employed with the district, but this would be a full time job instead of the 3 hours a day I have now. To be entered in the drawing for this fun assortment of goodies, just leave me a comment below about an interview experience you have had or . . . . just say "Hi."

I'll randomly draw a winner on Friday, August 28 - after my interview and let you know how it went!

Good Luck . . . . and thanks for visiting my blog! More creations to come . . . :-) Jeani

This is a layout I did a couple of weeks ago ~ my first time using the felt diecuts from Close To My Heart. Sorry it's not such a great photo . . . I took several and they were all blurry . . this was the best one of the bunch.

The photo was one of my boys and I that was taken for an advertisement in our local newspaper for the childrens and maternity shop I used to own. I used a felt button as a pull tab on my journaling behind the photo.
