Almost there - 15 projects to go!

Projects 190-204: Family Fun

Crap. I'm running out of time. Gonna make it, but still running out of time! I started a new job last week, so between wrapping up stuff at the old job and figuring out what the heck I'm doing in the new one, there hasn't been a lot of time for crafting!

I'm going to a couple of crafting mayhem days in the next week, so hopefully that will get me back on track!

In the meanwhile, here are the newest additions. Most of them ended up being for family members, hence, "family fun":

190 - Flowered Thank You card - thankfully, there is a punch for those teensy little flowers...
191 - Hopeful Card - I love that butterfly!
192 - Thank you gift case - brilliant idea (not mine) to turn DVD cases into gift boxes!
193 - Mini Thank you card set - for inside the gift case
194 - Wonderful Woman Thank You card - love, love, love this colour combo! (See above)
195 - Thanks for the Little Things Card
196 - Mushroom Thank You Card - Why mushrooms? Why not!
197 - Costa Rica 2001 Scrapbook Page - great trip!
198 - Porthole Thank You Card (note: no picture available for this one, as I have entered it in a contest. It totally freaking rocks, however!)
199 - Beautiful blue Baby Blanket (note: no picture available for this one because I only finished it just before I gave it away! It's really simple and soooo soft! The baby is also cute!)
200 - Grandpa's Father's Day Card - I love my Grandpa!
201 - Wise old Owl Father's Day card
201 - Love Life Birthday Card - I love the colours on this one too - thought I would hate them, but boy was I wrong!
203 - Wish Big Birthday Card - another boy's card. The key is to keep it simple!
204 - Happy Birthday Flower Card - ohhh, stickers!

Unless otherwise noted, pictures are on Flickr. Which I now have to pay for because I have over 200 pictures there. Please go look at them so I feel better about spending the cash!

Projects 152-169 - Card and Gnome Tags

Yes, that's right - Gnome tags. Not to be mistaken with Name Tags. Because names are for humans and Gnomes are for Gnomes... yeah.. okay.

Ahem.

I'm really trying to get caught up as soon as possible because you never know when Murphy is going to throw you another curve ball! That said, there are a couple of projects that I have on the go that I really wanted to put some extra effort into. For example, the card I designed for my mom for Mother's Day took me over 2 hours to make today, as opposed to the regular 20-30 minutes I usually spend on a card. What can I say, she's my mom!

So here's the round up:

152- Cuba 2011 Scrapbook Page - finally got the pictures developed!
153 - Glorious and Free Card - this is for a contest - not sure if I have a shot or not!
154 - Bright Mother's Day Card - for my eventually to be mother-in-law
155 - Pink Butterfly Mother's Day card - for my grandma - she loves pink!
156 - Four-sided Mother's Day card - yup. This is the one that took 2+ hours! (Photo of page one is above)
157 - Butterfly Bliss Card
158 - Olive Elegance Birthday Card - for a special someone turning 70!
159 - Little Elephant Baby Card - for my next swap - I need to make 12 more of these!

And now for the Gnome Tags! I decided since each of my Gnome creations from last week have their own personality, they needed a Gnome Tag! Each creature has his name embossed on the card, and a phrase that he or she has been known to utter on occasion. You kind of have to say the phrases with a bit of a Russian accent - Gnomes don't speak English very well, you know!

So here is each Gnome and the phrase that appears on their tag:

160 - Gnome Tag - Edward - "My 'stache... is Legend!"
161 - Gnome Tag - Pierre - "Poke my tummy... Dare you!"
162 - Gnome Tag - Celeste - "I'm a sweet and innocent flower!"
163 - Gnome Tag - Jacques - "Have smile, will travel!"
164 - Gnome Tag - Sunshine - "I no get lost in dark!"
165 - Gnome Tag - Whitey - "I lead, you follow - yes?"
166 - Gnome Tag - Fred - "Name? Bah! Hat is better!"
167 - Gnome Tag - Doris - "Mess with me, I whap you with spoon!"
168 - Gnome Tag - George - "Trust me... I have square beard!"
169 - Gnome Tag - Mary - "You want hug? Come!"

Aww, ain't they cute?
