Clint's cousin turns 9 this year. What do you make for a 9 year old you don't know?
My oldest sister turns 60.. easy.... another Build a Blossom Card!
My great niece will be 11.
Ahhh I remember when I was 11. That was my golden b'day. My mom made a cake shaped like a horses head. My step dad, younger sister and I went to my mom's mom's house and step dads brother came over. That was the extent of my party. It was also the last b'day I celebrated.
I have 2 friends here on SCS.
So I have 5 B'day cards for April...
Nothing on the anniversary list.

Here are some cards for my April commitment... I made 2 of each design for a total of 8 cards. These are going into a coffee-themed gift basket that will be raffled off for a school fundraiser. I thought they might make a nice change from cups, coffee, and gift cards.

I made more cards in March than I needed so I put them in my stash and will use some for my April cards.
I need 10 general encouragement cards for sick or homebound in my Sunday School class (I still need to make all of these). I need 7 feminine birthday cards and one masculine. I think I'll use today's TLC card for Jack's birthday.

I made a one sheet wonder set with 15 cards, so you'd think I had enough cards for April. I do - except that the 10 cards for my ladies' S.S. class need to be made in a larger format, so I'll just continue making 2 a week through April. I also need to make my 8 Christmas CCC12 cards for April.
Here are the group photos of the OSW.
Part 1 - Cards 1 thru 5
Part 2 - Cards 6 thru 10
Part 3 - Cards 11 thru 15
As usual, my eye, my camera, and the computer don't agree on colors. The one sheet of dp is a lime or light olive green with blue, navy and white designs. The individual cards are also in my gallery, but without details. I'll try to get more info posted for each early next week. __________________

On Easter weekend, I'm seeing a friend who's been having a tough time lately so wanted a card to put with a little gift I have for her. I combined two of this week's challenges in the card:

I need THREE anniversary cards for April and one for my Mother's birthday tomorrow - Yes, April 1! Haven't done my Mom's card yet but I'm using this design for all 3 anniversary cards. I love working with Japanese print paper. They're so beautiful that even small pieces add a lot to a card.

I'm posting the April 1st Challenge. "Fool For Tools"
This is no joke! Let me see you use your favorite craft tools! Describe what tools you used when you link your cards to this thread.
I've got a few examples:
Eggplant Spring! I used my Big Shot to cut & emboss the Nestabilities, a Texturz plate in "Eyelet" and I cut the Sizzix 3D Flowers. I used rubber stamps, a punch and my Cricut. I used my new Stamp-a-ma-jig for the first time to make the stamped background design.
In Watercolor Blessings I used distress inks, craft sheet, heat embossing gun and Nestabilities.
In both of these cards: Where Ever You Are and Valentine I used rubber stamps, Copics, colored pencils, my Cruicut and a border punch.
Show me what you can make with your favorite craft tools!!!

For SageBrush's April 1st "Fools for Tools" challenge, I got out my Cuttlebug, an embossing folder, and a set of Nesties labels and created this card:

Susan, you were quick on that challenge. I've been trying to work on Christmas cards all day. I can't believe all the distractions today and I don't have kids at home. But then, I am having a hard time staying focused.

Yea Susan! Great card! I wish I had bought that one when it was around.
Late Sunday, I realized I needed to get Easter cards made. I made four, simple ones and got in the mail today. Didn't have time to take a picture.

Great challenge! I will try to do this one. I have been so busy with VSBN, that I am behind on everything else! I am mostly using cards out of my stash for everything!
Also, will try to go thru gallery in coming week and look at all the cards you all have added!

This card isn't one I need for April AOCC but it is one I need for Christmas card challenge. It kind of fits SageBrush's challenge to use a favorite tool. One of my favorite tools is my Cameo by Silhouette America. I guess my colored pencils would qualify for a tool.

I've thought about Bugs and Kisses but it seems too young LOL
I just do not have stamps for kids. Why not? You'd think with all the kids in our family I'd have tons of stamps for kids! LOL |

Great card, Debbie!
Vikki Jo - I just purchased a Stamp-a-ma-jig in my Sell-a-bration order. I love it! No more crooked sentiments!

I think I am the only person I know that has one and never uses it. I'll bet I've had it 10 years and it is still in the package in the bottom of a drawer. So, I need to know what everyone uses it for and why they love it. If I don't get it out and use it soon I am getting rid of it. |

I haven't used my stamp-a-ma-jig in a long time. I used to always use it. I need to start using it again.

I've only used my stamp-a-ma-jig a few times and not lately at all. I do tend to stamp my sentiments just a little 'off', so I should start using it!

Hmmm. It would be nice to not have to guess where I am putting a sentiment when I use a wood mounted stamp. I think that was why I started buying clear ones. |

I only have one birthday this month, and I've already done an Easter card, so it seems a good month to making "thinking of you" cards to send to friends. I wanted to do today's Ways to Use It challenge (Crazy for Colouring) as I love colouring, so did these two cards to send to friends in other cities:
Clematis and Butterfly
