Thinking of Others

These cards are for two friends in Georgia that have been on my mind recently. The top card is a get well for Phyllis and the bottom a 'thinking of you' for Jill. 

Too many people don't think of sending cards any more, but I get more appreciative feedback from those I send cards to then I can began to mention! It's just an easy way to communicate a feeling, or thought to someone special. :-D

Happy Easter - 2014!

Easter is the most precious holiday of any for the Christian church. Consider this: Easter is a good example of how fast things can change in only three days!

I try to make a special Easter card for family members each year. Here you will see I decided to make it round and used a circle die cut to get the border on the first layer and I used the Cuttlebug "Butterflies" set to bring some relief to the card.

Happy Easter to all! HE IS RISEN!

Play On Words

Here is a card using stamps from a new set called "Fresh Fruit" from Fiskars. I stamped the berries, chose a double sided paper to use for the accent, added sparkle to the colored strawberries and heat embossed the saying. Finished with a ribbon and here you are!

This card was made on my home-made card stock that is pale green so the colors came out quite nice.

Stamping and Stitching

When I ride in the car and Bob is driving, I find it hard to sit still with my hands in my lap! So I'm always looking for something to take along. Especially since we live 30 minutes from most major shopping and church. I have started stamping images on material and hand-stitching them out, then using the figures on a card. Here is the first one.

Friend to Friend

This wolf seems to be wanting to visit with the grizzly and cub. While they are enemies, they went together well on this card. I used mica chips from Montana to add some natural sparkle.
