Birthday cards for Tripp Halstead

I don't know if you all know the story of Tripp Halstead, but this little boy from Georgia has touched my heart - among many - and I would like to send an invitation to anyone who feels moved to do the same... Tripp will be turning 3 on September 11th.  You can find his story here:

 

https://www.facebook.com/TrippHalsteadUpdates

www.teamboom4tripp.com

All cards, letters or packages to Tripp and his family can be sent to

The Halstead Family

c/o Out of Space Mini Storage

P.O.Box 1478

Winder, GA 30680

 

This family has paid it forward to so many people since the accident.  They have helped others and never ask for money or anything.  Please consider sending Tripp a birthday card and check out his story.  Praying he continues to heal! I would love to have an overflowing shower of birthday cards for Tripp.  He LOVES everything Lightning McQueen from Cars.  He also used to love watching his dad ride dirt bikes so I thought this was appropriate.  (Cased from Shelli's blog)

 Please consider sending a card...

**remember, the mail takes time to get there, so send them soon**

 

Here are two others I made tonight with my polymer set.

Don't know how to rotate it!

Have a great Friday!

thanks all!

Play time!

I got some new stuff today and could hardly wait to play with it all! Sadly I realized a few things.  1- it took me over 1.5 hours making this card... 2-half of that time was wasted on looking for my tape, scissors, scraps, etc... 3-my little man was too tired to wait until I was done. And lastly 4-I think tomorrow i'll be CLEANING THIS ROOM! Do I need to even mention that I need my craft table back? 

Anyway, heres what i made using the new thinlits and the envelope punch. Enjoy!

Little Eli...

Embarrassing!

Cool thing is, I can literally clean that all in 15 minutes!!

See you tmrw!

So Stampin' Up! just released a "carve your own stamp set" kit last month and I finally sat down to use mine tonight.  I made a stamp for my good friend Jamie.  I messed up the first dog, but this one turned out great I think.  Will post more soon--back to my carving! 

I'm back!

Well folks, I think it's time I update this blog and show you the cards and projects I've been working on.  I just got back from the Outer Banks with my family and I'm excited to get back in my craft room.  Here are a few things that I've made this month.  I'm attempting my first ever club with the banners.  First month is "FAMILY", then "SPOOKY", and "JOY" for Christmas.  In November we will make a "Thankful for..." scrapbook.

Here's the family banner:

Here's the spooky banner and a decorative frame I made with the extra supplies.  

More to come on that...

I also made a few cards using the new coaster board. Love that its thicker than card stock but not too bulky. I used the Gorgeous Grunge set which is one I waited very patiently for! Love the versatility of it! Hope u like it! 

My 2 1/2 year old son did the envelope. Great job Eli! 

Blessings!
