I made this card for a fellow member of the Idaho Old Time Fiddlers to say thank you for something she did for the group. I have had the idea in mind for a couple of days then as I was working on it, I realized that it followed the Creative Card Crew's second challenge. Their challenge is to make a card using no designer paper.
I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background paper(it's light blue but you can't really tell from the pic). I stamped and embossed the image and sentiment. I don't know whose stamp it is because some manufacturer's don't put their name on them. I'm starting to write names on my new ones so I know where they came from.
Let me tell you a little bit about the Idaho Old Time Fiddlers. The Idaho group is part of an international organization. We go to retirement and care centers and play for the residences. It is really great to bring some joy to their days. I am the co-chairman this year. I'm responsible for organizing and being MC for our performances during the daytime. We have six different centers that we go to each month. I don't play the fiddle; I play the mandolin and sing.
I am also the historian, which involves scrapbooking what happens throughout the year (this is my 3rd year at that). I've been slacking on that job because I keep forgetting my camera but I have a friend who has taken a lot of pics. Then over the summer I will prepare the scrapbook to present in September.
I'll post some pictures of one of our performances when I remember the camera; maybe tomorrow. Well, I guess that would be today since it's past midnight.
Blessings to everyone,
Blessings to everyone,
By the way, does anyone have any good, clean jokes that I could tell the elderly. I'm always needing a good joke to start the show. You can either leave a comment or email me. My email address is on my profile page. Thanks!!!

I like your card! I don't have that embossing folder yet, but I think I really need it! Those Cuttlebug folders are REALLY great.
That's really neat that you are in that music group. That must be so fun to go perform for the older folks. I'm sure they appreciate it so much! Have a fun time!
Oh, I was going to tell you that I have been wanting to try the Copic markers, too. I keep reading about so many people using them on their cards. I was told by one of them that if I wanted to try something similar to them to get the Bic Mark-it markers, which I did. And they are really nice, but I think I want to try the Copics too!
I think the Roberts in Jordan Landing by me has that dotted swiss embossing folder (which I have and LOVE). At least they did about a week ago. Do you want me to get one and mail it to you?
Beautiful card Christine (great name) & congrats on your candy win of ALL those stamps, have fun.
hugs Christine xxx
