hey good things girls-I need your help please. I am working on an album for Lizzie's baton teacher and one technique I want to use is to cut out a shape on vellum paper and have part of a photo show through with a cololored sheet underneath. How do I produce a clean cut of the frame shape (.i.e., square, star or heart?) Size is probably 3"+ or so. Do they make punches for that? I'm about eight years behind on scrapbooking techniques so any help is appreciated. Thanks. Do something good today! Love ya! Chrissy P.S. Tracy-WOW!! You are amazing! How about a styro egg for easter? Wouldn't that look cute in an egg cup?

Emily thanks for the new banner-your a good thing girl!! Chrissy

Hi everyone,
I finally finshed my tree today. Alittle after valentines but that's OK. Sydnee loved my tree and wanted to do one of her own so off to town she went. I'll try to teach myself how to download pictures of each. Hope everyone had a great presidents day off. See you soon, Lori

Well, seems I can't figure out how to download the pictures but I'll try again. Cindy can you call me for some help with this. It says it won't download my pictures because they aren't in jpeg but they are. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Emily good job on the banner!
Lori

Ooh La La!

Hello Good Things Girls.

I've made you a new, cleaner looking banner. It's not as big as the previous one. When I get time, I'll shrink it down and make a button for you to use. :)

I hope you guys like it!

Another Cute Button Tree!!

Look at Nolamom's darling creation.

I love the use of her kitchen's colors for an everyday decoration.

You GO GIRL!!

Has anyone else made another tree??

I am thinking a green one would do double duty for St. Pat's day and then it could get added to the Red tree I've already done, as a Christmas Duo....Sound like a plan?

Button Trees Completed (Well, some of them)

Okay, Here are some of the completed trees created by the good things girls this past Thursday night!!!

A little Easter Pastel or Valentine's Reds, Pinks, & Purples Anyone??

This craft was fun to do-and everyone only poked themselves with their pins just a couple times...

A few of us didn't quite make it to the top of the cone, so hopefully we'll all see the completed masterpieces at next month's meeting....if not before...here, on the blog...that's a hint, ladies...you can do it...post a photo...it doesn't hurt at all...try it...really, it's fun!!

I even included a photo of my tree-on it's stand, at home, in the middle of my Valentine's Table-I hope yours are adorning your living spaces by now as well.

I made it Cindy!! I had an email from Google about my account and had to change my password, but bottom line is I am here!! Thanks for your help. Good to see everybody. Lori I got your phone message when I got home! I had left a couple of hours before going to Carolyn's for an eye appt. and errands. Thanks for the call though re: carpooling. Happy Valentine's to all and thanks for all the treats. A quote from my favorite book for valentine's: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13 Love ya-Chrissy
