MCM 67

Okay, I am not the best card maker.  Part of the problem is that I am TERRIBLE at sending cards.  Normally the only cards that I remember to send are for my husband's family.  That doesn't mean I don't like to make them.  It just means I have a few sitting on my desk still unused already, including one I made for my mom that I forgot the send...

But, I do have to make cards for my in-laws (or buy some...), so I used the ScrapbookSteals MCM 67 sketch to make two for my brother-in-laws.  Here is the sketch and finished cards:

Kristy Lee used washi tape for the "banners," but I decided to use scraps of my "boy" MME papers instead (Stella and Rose Hattie, Fine and Dandy and possibly Alphabet Soup).  I used a piece of solid tan cardstock as the base, and I stamped it with a Unity stamp I bought from a friend when she was de-stashing a little.  I used my Xyron X to glue the strips and just stuck them down on the cardstock.  I decided to put their "numbers" on the front of the cards instead of a sentiment, partly because it was just easier.  I used some AC stickers I already had, and put them on some solid cardstock.  I cut the shapes with my Creative Memories shape cutters, and then just glued them on the cards after inking the edges (which I did with all of the papers on these cards).  It make for a simple yet fun set of cards.
