Happy St. Patrick's Day

 


 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I am hooked on pocket cards.  So fun, easy and cute.  This was one of
my projects when going to Shirley's.    
 
This is a pre-scheduled post, I should be a week out from
 a hip replacement today.  Hopefully when I am off 
I will do some blog hopping but may not be leaving comments.
I hope to be back in my craft room and blogging soon. 
Recovery is going well, a few little things slowing
it down but improving every day.

Walker Bag

 

My latest project, a walker bag. After knee or hip replacement you
need a walker for about 1 week then advance to a cane. They cost anywhere
from $16 on up and I was able to make this one for $3.00!  Having a 
walker bag enables you to be more independent like getting a drink 
                            for yourself. Many of my friends have had surgery and needed 
something like this.  I plan to make more.

St. Patricks Cards

 



 My projects at Shirley's were St. Patrick's Day cards.  One this one I brought
the die cut basket and shamrocks and we each did our own think
with arranging and the background.  Baskets and shamrocks
were cut out of snippets.   I was quite happy with these.

A few fun challenges:
 
First card:
Can You Handle the Pressure: Embossing twist of circles  3/6
MTTC #528 Create Your Own Background  3/7 
MTTC's Top 5 Picks badge


Second card:

Valentine ATC's

 I thought ATC Valentines would be perfect for some little ones
 and friends in my life.





This is just a few of the ones I made.  I pulled out all my Lawn Fawn
sets and so many of them were perfect for Valentines Day. I did a bit of 
ink blending, stenciling and coloring.  I enjoyed making
these cute little cards. And the best part, I used all scraps (Snippets)
to make them.

A few fun challenges:

Creative Knockouts #514 Valentines  2/15

I am still here and still crafting.  Several projects are in process.
I took a break yesterday to make this fun fold card

by the this tutorial. All supplies are from
Stampin' Up.
