CHA 2008 & cards

I know this first layout is hanging over the side of the blog.....but it looked too small if it didn't! that is what I get for scrapping 2 pagers! I did these layouts  couple weeks ago at a crop night. just needed to do journaling to finish them up and finally got to  that today. wanted to make sure I got them in before the end of the month to help offset all that crazy buying! (which I did a little bit more of.....)

Products used:
Cosmo Cricket papers, chipboard, tags, stickers (and button)
Making Memories flower
QK font
Lasting Impressions brads
American Craft ribbon

Products used:
Imaginisce papers
American Craft Thickers and buttons
Heidi Swapp ghost heart

these next 2 cards were made from the layout leftovers. the first one went to my day for his birthday and I was able to take advantage of the glitter papers and add lumpy buttons. the second was sent to Operation Write Home so I didn't use any glitter papers or big fat buttons. if the box hadn't gone today, I would have retaken that picture. yikes! it is even worse than the double page layout photo!

 

Products used:
Imaginisce papers and rub ons
QK
American Craft buttons and felt

I needed to make a card to send off with a RAK. the black cat was for the package and the brown kitty went to Operation Write Home. I am not really a cat person myself but think felt cats might make cute cards so I expect I'll be making a few more soon! you might notice, the brown cat card used leftovers from the CHA layout at the top of this post.
