The Interesting Thing...

about the photo that is posted is that it is about 10:00 am in the morning, the sun is coming up and I believe it was about -5 degrees out. We were out at Camp Maranatha, for a retreat, and the snow had freshly fallen, about 18 inches, and when the sun came up it was all pink and shining on the beautiful snow. I took several couples photos that morning, and some of them even used them in their Christmas cards!... I love this photo of Daniel and I.

So I entered this contest, and there were four rounds...Round One ~ I won the page and card division, and received two twenty dollar gift certificates. Round Two ~ I didn't enter a card, and my page came in second. Round Three ~ I won the page, and received another twenty dollar gift certificate. Round Four ~ was the hardest and final round, which they gave us a packet of paper, stickers, a flower and two pieces of ribbon...we couldn't use ANY of our stuff, only what was in the packet...it was VERY hard. I came up with the UGLIEST page I have EVER made, and a card that was not my favorite, but it had a secret trick to it, so people thought it was cool. I won the card division and received a $50 gift certificate...All and all I won $110's total, which I quickly spent in the store... :)

Anniversary Card

My husband and I had a 20th Anniversary Party last Saturday night, and all my friends thought they were coming over to celebrate us...but I tricked them and made all of them Anniversary cards also! We played games and had food and had a lot of fun...

Birthday Card I made with my Cricut

My son Ted needed a birthday card for his girlfriend. I made two, and was really not satisfied with them. So I got on the Cricut website for inspiration and ended up coming up with this Card...Hope she likes it!
