Here is this years family photo and poem:

This is us at the Santa Train in Snoqualmie

Hark, oh friends and listen, for

On Kirkland's cold and shaded moor

our robust band of Wilsons four

Has moved into a humble dwelling

For Ben his thesis did defend

His languished schooling put to end

And with the help of faithful friends

In Bellevue works, malaria quelling

And all the while fair Bri was found

Getting bigger, growing round

Another sister coming down

Always crafting, sewing, baking

While Ginny has the magic touch

Counting, writing words and such

Violet talks and talks so much

Ne'er too far from trouble making

So at the end of another year

We gather with our family near

To recall again with joy and cheer

The baby born on Christmas morning


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Breast Cancer Month and Halloween Bday

Here are two cards I made today. The first is my card I made for two lovely ladies who have survived breast cancer. Inspired by a card I saw in the SU catalog. The second is my Grandpa's birthday card. Yes he was born on Halloween.

Its hard to tell but the moon, pumpkin and bat are glittery. And the tree has crystal effects on it. sorry its not a better photo.

Happy New Year!!!

Hi,
I'm Deanne Burton, a new contributor here!!! I thought I'd share a New Year's card with you!!
It's based on a sketch by Susan Costanza.
I painted the chipboard snowflake and after it was dry, I added a layer of glue and then sprinkled it with white glitter! The green pearls were glued on as well. I added glue and glitter to the "2009", too.


Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!!

Season's Greetings

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, hope you like it. A very simple card to make using glue to make patterns / swirls on the paper (here I used black), then adding glitter and stickers.

Christmas Cards

As part of my year long campaign to make all of my own cards, I made my own Christmas cards this year.

I had two basic themes: Snowman and Reindeer. All of the cards were made using a variety of cardstocks and the decorative papers were from the DCWV Ultimate Christmas stack from 2007. They have a lot of hand made accents and embellishments, since I wasn't able to get the supplies I wanted out here.

The Reindeer card:
The face was an oval cut from DCWV paper. The nose is a red print paper punched out using a 1" circle punch. I used my eyelet punch to make "button" holes. I used ivory crochet thread for the button. The eyes are just white cardstock punched with a normal hole punch and colored in. The antlers are free hand and cut out of beige paper. The mouth is made from black crochet thread, and the head is accented with a red/blue ribbon. I stamped greetings, and placed them on hand cut tags, which were punched and tied to the antlers with crochet thread (and taped in place on the card). The reindeer head is on a dimensional (made from cardboard).

The Snowman card:
The snowman was hand drawn (I made a template for myself so I wouldn't have to keep drawing it over and over again), as were the hat (made from black cardstock) and "arms" (made from brown decorative papers). I used satin ribbon for the hat accent and scarf. The scarf is held in place by a pewter star brad. The buttons on the snowman are black glass beads, and the body is accented with white glitter. The nose is just a piece of orange cardstock. The rest of the features are drawn on. I stamped greetings, and placed them on hand cut tags, which were punched and secured to the card using a pewter eyelet. The snowman body is on a dimensional (made from cardboard).
