    cards & such

    I wanted to share the delight of my cardmaking with JoDee last week.  I've been clean out of Thank You cards for months now, so we headed to her craft store in Cedar.  And were taken in by these flowers.  And grommets. 

    First we fancified gift tags.  (flowers, grommets, Jo's stamp supply)

    I love them.

    Then we moved on to these 3x3 cards (which come with darling tiny envelopes).  Plain old flower in the middle...I can see these attached to treat bags or such.

    Finally...thank you cards. 

    Making flower & color combos had us giddy.

    Last year we hand stitched around Thank You's and they were cute, but these cards had the bonus of being quickly done - always a good thing for me.

    Thanks for helping me stock up again, Jo!

    I wish I had your talent for crafty things. I can sew, but get frustrated easily with crafts. What a talent you have.

    The tags and cards look great! It makes me giddy to see pictures of things like this and it makes me want to get busy being creative too!

    I love how you labeled the various parts of that first photo.

    I think I need a grommet tutorial. I love the way they look, and I have yet to do it well. Every paper is damaged after I try.

    I think my fav was the gift tags. They made me drool a little bit.

    Cute! Nothing quite as fun as making things together, in my book.

    Simple but so cute.

    And I love your table...so festive. I've never decorated for Valentine's day, which is surprising since I'm such a fan of love.
