Birthday cards

These are one of the card sets I'm

making for a friend's birthday.

I love how they turned out,

especially the piano, since

I had trouble with that...

Inside there are quotes from Psalms

that have reference to music.

This is a birthday card for

my grandson, Jake.  Believe

it or not, that is embossed silver 

duct tape!  Or as it is know

now, "duck" tape.  Maybe 

since it's silver and not the fancy

designs they have now, this

one is still "duct" tape.  Anyway,

I saw this on pinterest and just had

to try it.  Not as great as I 

hoped it would be, but the tape

wasn't too much so I am happy

I tried it.  Sometimes

techniques don't turn out the

way I think they should, or the

way the picture shows it.

Sometimes they turn out much

better!  So you just have to

try out the ones you like

and see what happens!

We got about 5" of snow

over the weekend and I am

not a happy camper, but 

what can you do?  B'Elanna

loves playing in the snow and

sometimes I'm worried I will lose

her, lol, since she is white.

Neelix on the other hand, hates

snow and will just stand there

lifting one paw after the other 

and shaking.  I can't convince

him that the faster he does

what he needs to do, the faster

he gets to go back in.
