My ten card challenge (and crafty Jasper)

 

 

Well, it continues to snow, although lightly. The ridge across from my house is overgrown with Ivy and it looks as though someone took the sugar shaker and gave it a nice dusting. I am enjoying a hot Chai latte and piddling about on the computer.

I mentioned that I had challenged myself to make 10 cards out of the Feb. Paper Crafts mag without buying anything new becasue that is all I do, buy the stuff and look at it. Well, I am quite pleased to report that I have done just that. My card box is full of lots of nice cards. Some I left without a greeting so I can put whatever is needed when I send it. I even got my niece's wedding shower card made. I bet her mom is going to try and figure out which one it is when she reads this! If anyone is counting, you'll only count 9 cards because the little red one in the foreground is one of two. Those are for my two youngest little sweethearts. They are so close together in age, I tend to do most things for them just alike. Soo that lovely cherry fabric in the background? I loved it so much that I bought the entire bolt! Yeah, I stockpile fabric just like I do paper. But with 3 granddaughters I envision lovely little spring frocks all alike and with the leftovers some sweet little cushions for my porch swing and rockers.

That Jasper! While I was working away setting up my card display, he managed to get a roll of tape to snack on. By the time I realized what he was up to, the tape was history. I have been told that Labs will eat anything. I believe it. A local D.J. has a Lab and he ate his owner's $1500 SuperBowl tickets! Quite frankly, I think anyone foolish enough to spend that kind of money on a football ticket, deserves to have them eaten. Think how much fabric and paper that would buy!
