Graduation

My dear nephew will be Graduating in May. I thought it might be a good idea to get his card made early...you know "The early bird gets the worm." Well, in this case the early card will be more likely to get delivered.

My nephew, Joey...whom I assume everyone else calls, "Joe" is a broad shouldered, gentle giant. He wants to become a policemen and that isn't such a dangerous job here in WV, like it can be in other places. Of course I would still worry about him.

For "Joe's" graduation card I wanted to use his school colors (they were mine as well) of red and blue. The stars on his card are for his dream to become a policeman and a dream it has been for several years. I hope his dream comes true.

Sizzix Texture Boutique

I bought the Sizzix Texture Boutique a couple weeks ago. It was a hard decision to make with all the embossing machines on the market. I reasoned, I didn't need a die cutting machine, because I have a Cricut. I wanted something that would just emboss and use the embossing folders made by other manufacturers.

This little machine will do that. Right now it is offered at around $24.00 at Oh, My Crafts, but hurry I don't know how long this sale will last.

My dear SIL, Vicki and I, had a great time playing with this little machine on Saturday. We even made our own embossing folder of a tree. We were quite excited at the prospect of making our own custom folders using a cereal box and a Cricut.
