Poker Run

 These are things I have donated to the poker run to raise money for the service dogs.

 The run will be on motorcycles down Route 66, so I made cards with that in mind. It's fun to do themed cards.

2016 Happy Valentine's Day cards

I really didn't make very many cards, but of course, I had to make my mom one. The other's I will give to my friends.



Happy Birthday for Poppy

My friend, Jamie's, grandfather (Poppy) is having his 84th birthday this month.  He was a Free Mason and was in the service, this card showed both. Jamie was really pleased at how I made this card and could hardly wait to give it to him. She will go visit him for his birthday, he lives in Florida.

My 1st card for the "Lasting Hearts Card Drive"

Lasting Hearts is here to help comfort mothers who have lost a piece of their heart. Losing a child, whether in pregnancy or older, can be one of the hardest pains a parent can endure. We would like to raise awareness and show other mothers that they are not alone, that they are stronger than they realize, and that there are people out there who care dearly. Hopefully, our story will move others to do just that.

You can find their story at: http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2016/01/lasting-hearts-card-drive-giveaway.html


If you would like to make cards for this great cause:
  • You can send as many cards as you would like.
  • Please use a sentiment such as: thinking of you, in my prayers, in my thoughts, sending hugs, sorry for your loss.
  • For the inside of the card, you can either leave it blank or hand-write a simple message. Not much – just simple and kind. The message can be something listed above, along with your first name and hometown. (Such as: “Sending lots of prayers from Jennifer in Cincinnati.”)
  • Please send cards in unsealed envelopes to:
          Lasting Hearts Card Drive
          2892 N Bellflower Blvd Ste 216
          Long Beach Ca 90815
  • Include a post-it note on the card(s) with your name and email address so you can be eligible for a prize!

Christmas tags 2015

I took a tree and a few ornaments to the shop where I sell my cards. The tree looked a little bare, so I came home and made Christmas tags (22) to fill the tree. The owner of the shop, Diane, thought they were so cute, she bought half of them. They were so fun to make, with all the small embellishments, stickers,  that were given to me. Diane suggested that I should make other tags, such as baby, so I'm off on another adventure.

But first, the Christmas tags:

Birthday card for my niece, Heather.

Heather is attending OU. She received a full scholarship and her dad is an OU fan. So, I made this card for her, even though I am a OSU fan. I am a very proud aunt!

 I tried to get the "Happy" to line up, but, oh well. The OU and Happy Birthday are made with Sizzix dies and on sparkly craft foam. (Thanks Marthanda). The OU paper was bought from Sooner Scrapbooks before they closed.

Birthday Card for a friend


This card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".  The background is my new Spellbinders Embossabilities Framed Petite Labels. I used Versa Color old rose for the Belleek effect. The flowers are made from the Spellbinders Carnation Creations and the butterflies are a punch from Martha Stewart. My Friend Loves crosses so I added a cross, but did not glue it down, so she may use it where ever she wishes. I also made a box for this card.  The rose on the back was made with a bunch and layered.

Christmas cards for Leisure Village Nursing Home




These are my  Christmas card for the nursing home my mom is. It has taken me approximately one and a half months to get all of these made, there are 86 at Leisure Village, where my mom is and 85 at the other nursing home in Glenpool.

All of these cards are just a little bit different, in color and design, but all have a reindeer. I had a jolly good time making these cards, knowing it will put a smile on someone's face. Hope you enjoy looking at them and if you like them, please comment.
