New Creative Projects

Ok, so 2 of my nieces have started a new blog - posting a creative project every day - all because my niece, Danelle, posted a card a day on her blog, so they were inspired.  Anyway, so I thought I would try to post something I did.  It was Kristi's b-day and I made a small 5X5 chipboard album for her.  I thought it turned out well, and so I took a few pics to post.  The album has 20 pages and I didn't them all different, using butterfly and flower designs.  Hope you enjoy and maybe it will inspire you to be creative. 

Well I think Summer finally arrived!!

I am so happy that we have finally had more than 2 days of nice weather in a row.  I was beginning to think that we were really never going to have any warm weather this "summer"  but this week has turned out beautiful.  I even had to water the flowers outside tonight and in the barrels on the back deck.  That's a first this year.  It did cloud up tonight, but so far, no moisture has come from them.  I think they'll roll on past.
I sorted the card exchange last night and was so pleased with the cute cards everyone did.  The theme was nature and so it was fun to see all the different things.  I have photographed them in groups by the artist.  I would love to see more people participate in the exchange.  It is fun and low-key with great ideas and sharing.  I ask for your cards to be to me on the 20th of each month - or the first Monday after, if the 20th falls on Saturday or Sunday.  You do cards in sets of 5s and you can do up to 4 sets.  Come join us.  The theme for July is Thank You cards.  I have the themes listed on my Stampin' Up! website (http://www.janstamps.stampinup.net/)  Hope to see cards from lots of stampers soon. 
Here are the ones from this month.
