A Conglomeration of Cards

Making homemade cards is one of my most favorite things to do. Someday I really do want to open an etsy shop. What I'm kind of doing right now is...I don't know...creating an inventory. When I come up with an idea for a card, I don't just make one. I make 25 or so. And I keep 'em for the eventual time when I'm ready to do the etsy thing. Someday.

This is the card I designed for my mom to send people for Christmas - we worked on them together:

Here's the card I made to send out to friends and family for Christmas:

A wintery-based thank-you card:

A birthday card:

A Valentine's Day card:

The young women in our ward do an annual fundraiser; you pay to attend and have a dinner they make, and then members of the ward bring things to auction off. It's a silent auction. One year I brought some homemade rolls; this year, I thought, since I have all of these cards sitting in my storage room, I might as well auction some of them off for a good cause.

So I put together two of each card I have and put them in a cute little basket I had on hand:

I had some cards I made back in 2007 - graduation cards that say '07 over and over again on them. I revamped them so that they now say '12. The old card is on the right; the new one is on the left:

I'm working on some spring-themed thank-you cards right now; they're "terrif," as Millie from Thoroughly Modern Millie would say. In fact, I paused that very movie to skype with the hubby and write this post, so I shall now return to it. My plan is to sit on my butt, sip icewater, peruse the new People magazine, and listen to Julie Andrews sing "Baby Face." The best musical EVER.
