Crafter in Training

 <---Crafter in Training!  

 Every year my God-daughter,Jenna, comes and spends a few days with us. She has 3 sisters at home so for her, she gets some great one on one and for me I get a young girl to spoil  a little:)  She usually comes with a list of what she wants to do and lucky for me crafting is always on that list.  Mmmm... such a good influence I am LOL!!   She wanted to make purses this time and  she also wanted to put them on the blog, so here they are. And being the evil aunt , that I am,  I made her be in the picture.  hee hee !!
We used the Forver Young and Hello Kitty cartridges.  The purses I cut at fit to page and the cheerleading kitty is at 3.5 in. I had her pick out the paper she wanted and she picked from  the DCWV stacks - Lace & Linen,Greem Tea, and Dots, Stripes & Plaid .
We did lots of other fun things together but I just gotta say,there really is nothing better then sharing your passion with someone who is so special in your life.  Love ya, Jenna!!

Paper Playtime # 45 - Tall Card

Happy Monday everyone!!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a great Mother's Day.
It's time once again  for a new challenge at Paper Playtime.   The challenge for this week is to make a tall card, the measurements being 4 x 9 . I'm so used to making the standard A2 cards, so this was nice to change it up a little bit.
With graduations creeping up all around us, I thought it would a good time to  start making grad cards.

I decided to make a pocket on the inside of the card for either a gift card or money.  That seems to be our regular gift for the graduate, money always seems to be on top of their lists.
The recipe for this card is:
        Hello Kitty Greetings 
        Plantin Schoolbook
        MS Embossing powder
        Sew Easy and floss
        Congrats CB folder
        white gel pen
        DCWV cardstock

Thanks for looking! Now, head back to Paper Playtime and see what the rest of the designers created, you'll be sure to get all sorts of inspiration. This challenge goes for 2 weeks ,so start creating and then post it so we can see what you've created.
