True Friends

Today's card is one I made for my dear friend Shannon.  She's one of my most dear friends and I'm so happy/lucky/blessed to have her in my life.

Today is the kids' last day of school for the year. Hard to believe that another school year has passed us by. Thanks for your visit. Crafty hugs!

Many Thanks

I've decided that I make a lot of cards uisng one piece of patterned paper to cover the card front and then I will trim another one down and run it down the length of the card, placing it towards the left.  I think I'm in a rut.

Anyway, since this paper is pretty busy, I thought I would keep the card pretty CAS and just let the sentiment take center stage.

I hope your week is treating you well. Thanks for your visit.  Crafty hugs!

Christmas Card Challenges #25 -- Candles

This week at Christmas Card Challenges, the optional challenge, in addition to making a holiday or Christmas card, is candles. I chose this sweet Pure Innocence image to fit the bill.  My sentiment is on the inside.

I hope you are having a great weekend so far. Thanks for stopping by today!

Wonderful Friend

Happy Friday friends.  I hope you've had a good week.  My card today is a simple one, shocker I know.  I stamped my cluster of flowers first with Sweet Blush, then with Melon Berry and then with Raspberry Fizz.  I'm having a great time with this set and need to experiment with other color combos.

I hope you have a great day and a great weekend.  I'll be back here on Sunday with my Christmas card for the week.  Crafty hugs!

Hi

I had fun playing with this die/impression plate from Lil' Inker Designs.  I tried to pick the best random spots to stamp the coordinating image onto.  I wasn't sure how to add a sentiment and then decided to add a couple of alphabet die cuts and call it good.

I hope your week is off to a good start. Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Card Challenges #24 -- Color Combo

Thanks for visiting today. Today's card is for this week's challenge at Christmas Card Challenges.  Our optional challenge this week is a fun one -- a color combo of teal, brown and cream.  

I love this color combo and definitely want to use it again -- so striking, I think.

Supplies not linked:  Ocean Cardstock from CTMH, pleated ribbon from The Ribbon Carousel, Embossing folder
I'm sure the other designers' cards will knock your socks off so be sure to head over to the challenge blog to pay them a visit and see what they created.

Thanks for your visit friends and for the comments you leave.

Happy Mother's Day (again)

I've got another Mother's Day card for you.  I used the Sweet Roses set again from MFT.  I fiddled a lot with how many flowers to cascade up my oval frame.  In the end, I just couldn't decide or get happy with the placement so I left it as is.

Yeah for another Friday here. I hope it's a good one for you!

Just Because

I found this embossing folder and thought it was SO pretty.  I just love it and it really is pretty enough to not need much else on the card, IMO.  So that's what I have for you today -- a super simple card.

As always, I truly appreciate your visit and comments. Have a great day!
