This card is for our Mayor, who has kindly come by our house twice now to mow our lawn since Chris is limited in what he can do.  The rhinestones make it a little feminine, but when I was making it, I goofed and had to 'adjust'.  :-P  I like how it turned out and will probably return to this design again in the future.  I used SCAL for the layered frame set.

Mommy's birthday

My mom loves green, so each year I try to come up with a new design using a various shade of green.  Here is this year's card.  I used Nesties to cut out the circles and my cutter with SCAL to cut out the flowers. 

Cuttlebug cutouts

I made this birthday card by embossing it with a Cuttlebug folder, then used a craft knife to cut out some of the embossed areas.  Then I placed a piece of yellow cardstock behind the image and viola!!  Nothing new, but new to me.

Flowery birthday

Here is another birthday card for sister #3.  I stamped the flower image and then cut it out then popped it up.  Trying to broaden more horizons by trying different techniques.  I also used a Cuttlebug folder and a Nestie for the 'happy birthday' background.

Fur-ever

A girlfriend and her husband lost their Retriever recently and it has taken it's toll on the family.  I made this card to hopefully lighten her heart some and give her a little comfort. 

Monogrammed Birthday

I tried something new for a birthday card...I made this for my sister and I made it with her monogram, so that, unlike a typical birthday card that gets put away quickly, this was something she could keep up for a while.  :-D  Of course, that doesn't mean that she did!!  The black damask design was flocked so that added a little extra to it, I think.

Missing you

I helped my niece make this card for her family while she was visiting extended family over the summer.  I thought it was super cute, but I might be partial!

Been a while...lots going on

I know it's been a while since I posted anything, but I have made a few things.  My husband and I have had some changes in life which has kept us busy.  Now, I'm gonna try and do some catching up!
Here is a card I made for my brother for his birthday.  I think the inside reads:  What happened???  But I honestly can't remember.  (bad sister, I know!)
