1, 2, 3...10.... Here are my number cards!










Numbers...they are everywhere. I decided to do a number swap and here are the cards I made for this swap. I looked for images that couldbe repeated for the number they represent.

For Number 1, I used the frog since he was big.
Number 2 is a lighthouse from Wisconsin.
Number 3 are trees... 3 of them.
The roses looked good on number 4.

5 represents mail that we love to receive... 5 times over.
6 represents handpainted ornaments. Do you remember the ornaments on your tree when you were young? They were shiney and pretty.






7 Teacups. I don't drink tea, but I do like my cup of coffee each morning.

How many keys do you have on your keychain? I guess I have 8.






Do you remember the story of the 3 pigs? For this card there are 9 pigs.




10 Windmills. You sure don't see these anymore.

The Rest of the Alphabet

Y and Z....
Y is for "Yesterday." Yesterday never comes again. It is only part of our memory.
Z represents "Zebra."

Soccer! Soccer was part of our household for years and years. Soccer games every weekend, practice a couple times a week and uniforms. Now my kids are getting older they are moving on to other things.
Time is something that keeps moving. Each minute that happens cannot be captured again. This card is a moment in Time.
When it rains the umbrellas come out. When you go to the beach you see umbrellas. Umbrellas can be big or small and are usually quite colorful.
Mountain climbing, mountain biking, the X-games. X represents X-treme as in sports.
Vintage is a popular theme in cardmaking. Vintage is looking back at our past. In cardmaking browns and distressing are used to give a vintage look.
"I Do" Weddings are beautiful occassions with family and friends invited to attend the celebration.
