Welcome to my blog on topics about keeping the home - or attempting to - as a Gen X Mom of four and wife to one. :) This blog is written by me, Lori Seaborg, from the Florida-Alabama Gulf Coast. I'm not the person who is ahead of you in mothering and homemaking knowledge. I'm just the gal right beside you, motivating the 11yo daydreamer, keeping up with the 9yo future homemaker extraordinaire (every mama needs a helper like this one!), teaching the rascally 6-year-old while occupying the 3yo. Let's learn together!
Thought I'd share the handmade card that I designed and created yesterday. If you're interested, I'll post step-by-step photos of how to create a card like this one.
The short version is that I used a piece of scrapbook paper (patterned), a piece of cardstock over the scrapbook paper, eyelets (the ribbon comes out of those), ribbon, a piece of gold cording with a "thanks" tag attached, and a Thank You stamp on the inside.
I'm working on a website called ScrapJournaling.com (there is nothing there yet) to promote journal writing and creating handmade books and cards. You'll get a lot of ideas on the site, I hope! I'll keep you updated on that.
You are so creative! It was neat to read your post this morning as my two girls and I have been scrapbooking and I've also been adding pictures to my journal. I can't wait until you have your new site up and running. I do have a question: How did you get the eyelets in your card???????
Have a great and creative day!
