PDE Linky Party #17 ~ Mini Monsters


Good Morning my friends and welcome to the midway point of the PDE Linky Party involving metal dies or punches. Most of the projects I make involve at least some kind of metal die so this was a fairly easy challenge for me.  I am looking forward to seeing all of the projects you make.  You have until Monday, September 1st to add it to the site.

I made a set of three 3" x 3"  note cards using two types of metal dies.  I used my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board to make the matching envelopes for them.

PDE Linky Party #16 ~ Kid Themes


Good Morning and welcome to the midway point for the Kids Theme at PDE Linky Party.  I am looking forward to seeing all of  the great projects you are going to create this week.

I have a special card to share today and I am happy to say that I am ahead of the game for once because of the theme of this linky party. This card is for my grandson who turns 2 on September 7th.  I can not believe he will be two already and will be over 3,000 miles away from me for his birthday.  Guess I will have to get used to that and be on the ball so that I can send all of the cards for special occasions in the mail.
