For card club this month, one of our challenges is to create a card with die cut letters or numbers on it. I have had this image laying around and this challenge finally gave me an idea of what I was going to do with it.
I love this image. I know its an older one, but I think its just awesome. I have a couple of friends turning 60 this year and I'm just not into the whole "over the hill" thing. I would much rather do something that celebrates their age rather than making them feel bad about it. Maybe my attitude has changed as I've gotten older : )
My husband and I are retired and I do crafts as we travel. It might be card making, it might be crocheting, or any number of projects

Creative Escape - project #1
Yesterday I was at the Creative Escape - its 12 hours for folks (okay, Ladies but Guys could come if they wanted to) to come and just do whatever crafts they enjoy, whether that is sewing, crochet/knitting, scrapbooking, card making. Whatever you want to bring. I went to this last fall and really enjoyed it so I made a point of going again. I went with a whole list of projects that I wanted to complete. I did fairly well, but most importantly, I had fun.
This week I will share several project that I worked on - here is the first. We have young nephew receiving 1st Holy Communion today.

I found a few projects on Pinterest that gave me some inspiration and I really like how this turned out. I embossed vellum, then printed the verse in Word since I don't have a 1st Communion stamp then cut that out with one of my Fancy Tag Nesties. I popped both the cross and the tag to give it some dimension - I love dimension.
More tomorrow
