Birthday cards

Hello Stampers!  Today I wanted to show you some of the other handmade birthday cards that I received earlier this month!

 This card was made by my friend Arlene.  It opens like a box top!  Love it!

 This fun card is from Shannon West at the Stampin' Up! home office!  She has started a #imbringingbirthdaysback campaign and is sending out well over 1500 cards this year!  So lucky to be number 1151!

Sad times...

Hello Stampers!  Some of you know that we have been through some sad times here in the Lanzendorf house.  Last Friday, my stepfather passed away quite unexpectedly.  I have been out of town for several days and am getting ready to leave again for a few days.  

I have to say that I have some of the nicest friends and family.  I have received some beautiful cards.  These are some of the handmade cards:

Happy Monday!

Hello Stampers!  I've told you all before that I have decided to make Friday my other craft day!  I have so many craft projects partially done sitting around and I'm also taking classes learning how to use my Silhouette Machine, so Friday's are my days to do these things!  

Last Friday was my Silhouette class.  Do you want to see the project we made?  It is so cute!

It is a booklet with pockets!

 This is the front cover.  We cut out the flowers and pieced the green pieces in!

 These are the first two pages.  The black gingham section is a pocket.

 Pages three and four.

 Pages five and six.  Both of these pages contain pockets.

 Pages seven and eight.  No pockets here!  

Thanks for stopping by!
