What do you think about that?Mary Hansennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-4550667280004131402012-08-01T21:12:15.781-04:002012-08-01T21:12:15.781-04:00Besides cards, I make miniature houses for my gran...Besides cards, I make miniature houses for my grandchildren - Christmas, July 4th etc, plus their birthdays. I have just started a "new for me" paper craft - using a wreath form, I make the decorations for the wreath from paper.

I used to art journal quite a bit and occasionally return to that. Last year I made my husband a scrapbook for Christmas. A complete surprise for him. It traced the history of the garden koi pond and patio he designed and built himself.<br /><br />If you're so inclined, you might consider making/sending cards for a children's hospital.

I like the two rounded corners on the panel.<br /><br />My papercrafting started with scrapbooking, but I got bogged down trying to be too elaborate. When card-making came into my life, it seemed quicker, even if elaborate. Then along came Susan! And CAS! Perhaps you could inspire me to get back into scrapbooking in a more CAS style. That would be most appreciated.Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-62854003399713591022012-07-30T08:40:54.718-04:002012-07-30T08:40:54.718-04:00Lovely CAS card, Susan.

I have never had an opportunity to make another book but would love to learn more. Actually, I do all types of papercrafting so I'd love to see anything you do since I love your style and would probably love anything you made....

In fact, I've removed all of my old photos from albums that were taking up so much room and never got looked at, and put them into boxes in the attic. Occasionally we get a box out and pass the photos round and reminisce. All my current photos live on my iPhone/iPad where we can look at them any time.shirley-beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17279462525416019890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-55589565835161146452012-07-29T23:03:27.770-04:002012-07-29T23:03:27.770-04:00Well, duh!

I have the hope that one day my children and grandchildren, etc, will enjoy reading all the journaling that I've done, and looking at photos that are labeled as to "who" is in the photo.<br /><br />As for my cards, I've donated some to a local assisted living facility and they seemed to love getting them. A lot of people in assisted living facilities don't get out much but still enjoy sending cards to family and friends.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026661239520689778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-2872627614798342782012-07-29T20:34:53.020-04:002012-07-29T20:34:53.020-04:00I like decorating small notebooks or matchbook sty...I like decorating small notebooks or matchbook style notepads to coordinate with my cards.

LOL!I guess I should do a little scrapbooking as I have some pictures from the past in boxes. I made a couple of albums after special trips but that was before I got into paper crafting so they are not "scrapbooking" in the paper crafting sense. I don't really care to do other papercrafts. I don't like most "homemade" decor items. I have enough trouble keeping clutter to a minimum so I don't need to add craft projects to the mix. LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
