Although we had a very small, private wedding in Reno, there were still a few people who were responsible for it being so sweet and special. I made these Thank You cards for them.

Pay it Forward
A good friend posted a Pay It Forward RAK on facebook. I participated, and the stipulation was to make something and pay it forward to 5 other people. I made these cute tags for Jeanette, Erin, Larae, Tina & Christy.
Twins turn 1
The twin grandbabies turned a year old in March. Again, I couldn't be with them, so these are the cards from MiMi.

Distressed Roses
I thought this would be a fun project to share. I love these little roses (you can make them bigger or smaller to fit your project). No tools except a glue gun.
Start with a 3" square. Tear the square by hand into a circle.
Start at the outer edge and tear the circle into a spiral, ending with just a dot at the center. This would be the point where you'd want to ink the torn edge if you like.
Start at the outside of the spiral and roll your spiral "strip" into your rose shape.
Make sure the inner edge stays even as you roll. Your rolling will be more cone shaped than coiled.
Continue rolling to the center dot. Put a gob of hot glue on the dot, then let your coil unroll slightly into the glue.
It takes a little practice. The trick is to make sure that bottom edge stays even. If you roll too tightly, you will actually end up with a tall spiral. That's not right.
