So here are four quick note cards I put together (in Becky's style) last night for them to use when they need to send a thank you to someone this month. I loved the rich autumny colors. And its nice and chilly here to remind us that autumn has arrived!

World Card Making Day!

Oh yes, that is today! Are you doing anything exciting to celebrate? I am! This evening I am holding a Card Buffet! Never heard of that? It means I put out kits of cards (usually left overs from workshop make & takes or card class extras, and you come make which ever ones you like, as many as you like for a set price each. You're here as long as you need to do the cards you want and that's it! Once each kit is gone, its gone, so its the kind of thing you don't want to be late to. Which means, if you're local, be here at 6pm! We'll have it wrapped up at 8 so that everyone can be home for bedtime and there will be yummy treats too!

Here is a sampling of a few super quick cards we did last Saturday, and the extras will be available tonight!

Exchange Student Pages

For the past few summers my parents host a Japanese exchange student for a month. And they're required to make a scrapbook, which is actually super handy for the student. I really wish someone else had done my Germany trip, then I'd know what everything was! *grin*
Anyway, when you're cramming to get this much scrapbooking done, as quickly as possible, you go super simple...and I stick with a border style because some of these events hadn't happened when I was making the pages! I also used a lot of retired products, especially card stock! With that new color renovation, I have a lot of card stock to use up! tee hee!
So here's the first few pages I've done for this year's student...annnd it keeps flipping most of the pages I'm loading, especially the ones I've cropped...so what you see is what you get today! LOL!
Supplies:

Stamps: Grunge Rock, Taffy Alphabet (retired), Whimsical Lower Alphabet (retired)
