Card Making

The other thing I have been doing is making cards.
One of my favorite designers is Karen Burniston.

Today, I will show you some birthday cards I made. 
This first one is for my adopted daughter, Savanna.

Yes, that is a 3-D popup birthday cake.


On the card below is the one I made for my 17 year-old, 
adopted daughter, Samantha.  
It has three  panels, on the front that flip back and forth. 
Plus the front lifts up for a message.

Flip side of the front.

These cards are fun to make but they are time consuming. 
Yes, picking out the papers is just as difficult as 
picking out fabric for a quilt. Only the qualities are smaller.

They are always well received.

Stockings Were Finished in 2020



Yes, I did finish the stockings! 
They were well received by the recipients. 




The above picture is when I finished the stitching.



The second picture is when they returned from the finisher. 




And the backs.

Below is my niece admiring her stocking. She is the big sister to my two adopted daughters. They are on the couch with matching pj bottoms. 


And here is her husband with his.
