Quickie Card Ideas

These are a few of my cards that I have made in the past month.  They were all quick with stuff I had in my craft room. I love things when they are easy and I don't procrastinate.  Giving myself a time to work on crafts doesn't always happen, kind of like getting enough exercise in.

Jewish New Year Card

The first card I ever made from scratch was this Jewish New Year card.  Before, I learned a lot :) But it deserves to be here, just because it will show the gradual improvements in card making in the weeks and years to come.  I hope :)  I never realized how hard it is to find rubber stamps or other products that can help you make Jewish Cards.  But with a little thought a head of time you can make almost anything.  

One of my favorite new tricks I learned after this cards is tracing a graphic with a fine black pen and then putting your tracing paper through your printer/fax machine and copying to picture to your cardstock of choice.

The Dawn of my New Hobby

I have always had great difficulties writing a blog because I never knew where I should start.  I am 46 years old and have experienced many things in life but my life has always seemed like a hodge-podge.  I am sure most of us feel that way.  I have just started a new hobby that coincidently started just before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.   So, my blog is starting as my new hobby starts......

My laundry room became my hobby room.  Alan, my husband has his music room and I have my arts and crafts room.









I am totally blessed to have a great place to make my cards.  I have made a few different kinds up till now, and I hope to expand to many more great cards in the future.
