APPARENTLY FELT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!

What you are about to see are cards made with one of my craft finds of the century! My friend Cindy and I were out shopping one Saturday afternoon and went to Michaels craft store, right as we walked inside there were these bins filled to the brim with felt embellishments! I was astounded when I looked at the price which was .22c per pack. I tried to talk Cindy into getting some, I told her she'd be sorry if she didn't. Well, she didn't and wondered later why she didn't get them. When she sees these cards I'm sure she will want to kick herself. She said she just didn't know how she would use them. Cindy and I have many moments like this one, unfortunately for her.

The packs had the flower used here on my cards and 6 other felt embellishments. Much to my surprise, when I checked out, each pack rang up for, I think, about .11c each! WHOO-HOO!! I've had them since last summer and I was determined to use them! I remember when felt was used for "old days" handy crafts (as they were once called), hand puppets for kids, Barbie clothes you could glue the seams of, Christmas ornaments for our trees etc. Now look at what they're doing with it! We can even run it through out die cut machines! After being around as long as it already has, I think felt is going to be around for a very, very long time to come...so just get used to it! My Mom probably would not be amazed though. She was really a lady well before her time...the things my Mom could do with "stuff" would amaze you! She worked with the Scouts for over 20 years if that tells you anything!!!  WHAT A CRAFTER! Love you and miss you always Mommy.

              Thanks Rae for helping me with the paper color choice. I'm very happy with it (smile).

These are the other 6 embellishments that were

in the package with the flower. Now I've just

gotta figure out how I'm going to use these.

(future post lol!)

I've used the same layout with all of the cards, just

two different Cuttlebug backgrounds and different

sentiments. I also found the felt ribbon used here

in a bin on a seperate occasion at Michaels for

about .50 or 1.00 a roll. Each roll has 4 yds.

Thanks Mommy for teaching me all you knew!
