Have you been watching the updates on Cosmo's travels? He has been a busy little guy. He was hanging out with all the designers and manufacturers at the show. We were able to do Facebook updates, but had a little trouble with the blogger account while we were in Chicago, so I will do some photo updates when I get more uploaded to the host account. Meanwhile, stay tuned to Facebook (watch the link to the right) and see where he was.

Operation WE R Grateful!

2011-06-18T20:12:00.004-05:00

We are a We R Grateful Drop Zone for your card creations. Join us in giving to those who give the most.

We have a MAKE and GIVE event on Saturday, June 26th. We will supply the papers and some tools, you just bring some adhesive and a bit of creativity.
If you wish to add some of your own embellishments you are welcome to do so for the contest.

Make a BLANK card for the troops to send to love ones back home.

Make a BUNCH of blank cards to send to the troops.

You have a chance to win prizes and the store with the most sent in does too.

The cards the troops need most are for birthdays, anniversary's, missing you, LOVE, Thank You, Thinking of You, Get Well and the major holidays.
All MUST be blank inside and HAND CRAFTED, no storebought in any way shape or form.
All must be A2 (Quarter cut) card,.....no larger or shaped cards.
Dark cards must have a lining of lighter colored cardstock so they can write inside.
Some "lumpiness" is ok, but flat is prefered.
No handwriting inside the card, only a small stamped sentiment please
Use quality paper, stickers and adhesives so they hold up to shipment both to the troops and back to their recipient.

Lets get crafty Saturday!!

Prom anyone?

2011-05-14T06:49:00.000-05:00

Do you have some PROM photos to scrap? I just created a new overlay for your PROM photos. The background is a nice crown print but if you want a simple background just use a solid cardstock sheet and use the crown paper for a different layout. How fun is that?
