Collectanea is another word for collection. It is my hope that this blog will become a collectanea of ideas for card makers of all ages.

3 1/2" x 5" Pop-Up Gift Card Holder
Here's another idea for a pop-up gift card holder, this time using a greeting card as the base. This size is large enough to send through the mail, and it still has the clever idea of the pop-up. These are fast, easy, and very versatile. Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what you think.
"To Everything ... A Season" Card
The latest scripture card features Dee's art from Ecclesiastes 3:1. It's done in fall colors and uses a frame from Elegant Edges. I used a leaf punch and some burlap "ribbon" as accents. Hope you enjoy it. Stop by and visit Dee's blog at www.deesbbboutique.blogspot.com. I love hearing your comments.

Flowers and Friends Scripture Card
This second scripture card also features Dee's word art. Take a look at her blog, www.deesbbboutique.blogspot.com, and see her great work. The card uses both Elegant Edges and Country Life. I like the "old world" colors and the cheery scripture sentiment. Hope you do, too.
"A Lamp to My Feet" Card
For number 20 in my challenge, I'm indebted to a friend who let me borrow her Country Life cartridge, to Mary at cardztv.blogspot.com, and to Dee at www.deesbbboutique.blogspot.com. Dee's scripture art is really lovely. This verse is special to many people. I used the card for a birthday, adding the inside sentiment, "May God's word guide you and God's blessing surround you in this next year. Happy Birthday." This card is a new favorite. Thanks for watching. Leave a comment, please.

Award Birthday Card Especially for a Man
I wanted an easy card for a man. Thanks to some inspiration from Mary at Cardztv, I came up with this one. The award "ribbon" is on Plantin Schoolbook. What do you think of #19?
One Cute Frog, Two "Toad"ally Cards
I love frog / toad cuts that can work well in the expression "toad"ally. Create a Critter has a really cute one. Dress it up or down, make the sentiment "'toad'ally sorry" or "'toad'ally happy," whatever you need. Hope these ideas from part 18 of the challenge are "'toad'ally helpful."

Airplane Card for Baby Boy
Number 17 of the challenge. This little airplane is perfect for a baby boy. It's part of the New Arrival cartridge and is both cute and easy to do. The blocks that spell "baby" are also really great. Hope you enjoy the card.
Jack in the Box Birthday Card
At last, number 16 of my challenge. I couldn't resisit going back to Nate's ABC's for this cute boyish cut. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
