Cards - a birthday card featuring a fun plane over a hand decorated background

 Working on cards for family!!  I started with this fun airplane (Pixabay) which I colour printed a while back with a few others.  Once trimmed out I added paper piercing with my pattern tracing tool to all four edges.  I looked in my stash of decorated papers and found this one that was the perfect colour combo for the plane!!  I added some embossed strips over the paper which I had adhered to my maroon card and then added eyelets and some fiber to the plane image before adhering it to my card front using 3D foam tape.

Sewing - utility apron with lots of pockets - perfect a teacher, daycare worker, crafter or a gardener

I have had this apron cut out for quite a while as I was working on my other one.  I finally had time to sew it up and find some coordinating fabric for the ties.  This one has lots of pockets which makes it perfect for anyone who needs to have things close to hand.  There is room for your phone, post it notes, scissors, glue, seeds, etc!!!!!!!!!!  The main fabric is beautiful cotton and the brown backing is poly cotton which will help it wear well.  It is 19" x 12" or so and the 36" ties are long enough to wrap back to the front which is often people's preference.  I added little tags on the ends of the ties to finish them off nicely.  Another piece to add to the Gramma Link Africa inventory for the fall.  Therese
