Each Vitameal pouch contains 31 child-size meals-enough for a whole month for a hungry little soul. Here's what you can do: like this page on Facebook (click here) and Nuskin will donate a pouch.

I really don't know much about this.  It was on a blog I frequent and thought it looked like a good idea!  
Colin has take pictures of lots of cards and other crafty creations, there is just no time to edit and post.

These are the cards and box that I talk about in my next post.  I will remake the cards, have better pictures and give instructions for each card.  They are all really great cards, the photos don't do them justice.

Thanks for looking at my blog.  I will return after Thanksgiving!

I have not posted in a couple of weeks.  Our dear friend Gary is visiting us for Thanksgiving.  Gary was Al's landlord in New York but he became our friend.  We all miss him terribly.  Al was happy to leave NYC but I LOVED the city because I could come back to Kansas.  Anyway, I have been decorating the house for Christmas, so I have been really busy.  The cards that precede this post are from a box that a friend asked me to make for her friend.  The pictures were not taken by Colin :( so the quality is not good.  I will probably remake all of them and re-post with instructions.  This post is really for my benefit, so I can remember what the cards look like!

This card has a base of 5x7 white cardstock.  The paper is Stampin Up Rockabilly.  Both pieces of the patterened paper are cut at 2 3/4x6 3/4.  A strip of Stampin Up Kiwi Kiss is cut with Papertrey Ink Lace Border die and adhered to the seam, vertically.  A piece of dotted Rockabilly paper was cut with PTI Mat Stack 4 and layered with PTI Fillable Frame 4.  The Hero Arts sentiment was stamped with Stampin UP Kiwi Kiss ink.  That piece was adhered to the bottom of the card with pop dots.  A "scrunch flower" was made with dark red cardstock and a WalMart pearl.  Simple layout with pretty paper.

Thanks for looking at my blog!!

I have posted this exact card layout before, but this one is softer and I think really pretty.  It is Basic Grey Capella paper.  The card base is 5x7 white cardstock.  The patterned paper is cut at 4 3/4 x 6 and the solid is 4 3/4 x 1 1/2.  A strip of the solid was die cut with Papertrey Ink Lace border die, and glued at the seam.  PTI Mat Stack I was used to cut the solid mat and a white oval is stamped with a Hero Arts image in Stampin Up Basic Grey.  A "scrunch flower" made with vintage book print and a green pearl is at the top.  2 clear-ish buttons are threaded with button twine and placed on either side of the mat. A 1x4 3/4" strip of the solid paper is adhered to the center of the card.  A simple card.  This layout is one I use over and over.
