MONDAY

Today's card is one I created for my oldest grandson who turned 18 this week.  Where does the time go??  He loves his drums, thus the theme.

I used the retired Cake Soiree  framelit to get the base of the drum.  I cut off the top of the cake and drew some lines to create the drum image.  Not perfect, put I was happy with it.  I used retired brads and some twine for the front and matches for the drumsticks.
He always appreciates my cards, which I try to personalize for my grandkids, so it is fun creating one for him.
Happy Birthday, Colton!  He is a winner.

FUN FOLD/PROJECT FRIDAY

Today's post is a frame that I made for an auction gift for Sweet Grace Ministries.  I have mentioned this organization before.  It is a local organization that supports families who have experienced an infant loss.  In October there is a walk to remember and several auction items will be available to help raise money for the organization.  Part of their theme includes a butterfly.

I CASED this from a project made by Patricia Preston.  It is basically the same as hers, but with a few changes.

I know some of the supplies are retired, but we know we all have those items.
