Now that my son's graduation is history, it's time for him to write thank you notes. Usually when he has lots to write I just give him a box of store bought cards. However, I was in the mood to make some handmade cards. I was cleaning up my washi paper stash and came upon some sheets with a bit of foxing (reddish spots) but with usuable areas. Since my son's school colors are white, blue, and silver, I tried to use these colors on the thank you cards. I was also reorganizing my Asian rubber stamps and thought that the 'thank you ' character was very artistic. Keeping it simple I just silver embossed the design on blue paper and punched out the square. I am pleased with the simplicity of the design and that I made use of stuff I had forgotten about. Finding craft supplies hidden away is like discovering gold! It makes cleaning up fun. Happy treasure hunting!
Special Birthday

An old friend who I don’t really see nowadays had a special birthday this
week, so I thought I’d better get busy!
First I cut a large rectangular stitch...

Great usage of stuff you forgot about. I love when I come across things that I don't remember buying too.
