Red House Ramblings: Crafting Creations

December 2011
Just to prove that I did get something done this year ... here are the things I did for Christmas.
Next year I WILL NOT procrastinate (yeah right ... I say that every year, LOL :-)

More Christmas Cards

Still more Christmas Cards

Post-It note holders -- starting in top left, going from left to right ... music teacher, band teacher, math teacher, language arts teacher, gym teacher, Suzi, science teacher, Cindy. I made another one the next day for the piano teacher, but didn't take a picture of it.

Jonathan's teacher.

July 2011 - Part II
Well, I didn't think I would do anymore during the month of July, but I have, so I'm going to post today. I'm still working on stuff even now, but will wait and post that stuff with my August post.

Thank you card made for Jonathan's friend Roman's family for taking him to MI's Adventure.

Card made to send to David @ camp.

Brandon's bday card (January)

I'm starting to try to catch up Jonathan's scrapbook ... as you can see by the date, I'm VERY behind. It is my hope that I can get his book caught up and then work on David's yet this summer.

Another page I am catching up in Bum's book ... I actually added something more to this after I took the picture. I may change it more yet , but probably not much.

July 2011
All I have to say, is be prepared to be amazed ... I have been on a roll!! I am proud to say that I have all the birthday cards that I know I need for the rest of 2011 made, and I now have 34 of my Christmas cards done :-) There is one more card that I didn't seem to take a picture of ... it's a sympathy card. Didn't make it for any specific reason, just saw the stamp set and wanted to use it. Not sure why it didn't end up in the pile to get photographed.

Marybeth's bday card

We bought this frame a long time ago when buying a frame for something else and the store was having a BOGO sale. I finally decided to put it to use by choosing pictures from various camping trips, and I've hung it in the camper. My hope is that over time I will change out the pictures to reflect new places we've visited and memories we've created.

Shhhh .... Jenna's bday card :-)

One of these was sent off to a woman at work who was in a 4-wheeler accident ... the other (left) I've put in my box for the next time I need this type of card.

Christmas cards -- when I was going through pulling all that old SU! paper, I found a folder labeled "parts". In it I found pieces and parts of various things, including these four manger scenes all stamped and colored -- I just had to finish making them into cards!

These are cards I had started when I did the last bunch back in early spring (I did 5 then). There are 10 here.

Another 4 card fronts I found all stamped and colored, just needed to be finished off into cards.

Another card front found stamped and colored.

10 more Christmas cards I just put together in the past couple of days.

June 2011
Wow ... I've been bad. Bet you think I was really bad though and didn't do anything in June didn't you :-) Well, I didn't do much, but here is what I did accomplish. I've already got a couple of things done for July ... hopefully it will be a better month.


Graduation card went to Kevin, Baby card went to Andy and Karaline, Birthday card went to Becky and the Thank You chocolate bars were given to the 5 kids who took pictures for me at Graduation even though they aren't yet on my yearbook staff.

February 2011
Here's what I've been working on -- I know, I know ... there's no calendar page. I did however go online today and buy some digital paper, etc. to use on it. It's going to be basketball themed.
