Goodness Gracious!

Well....

Goodness Gracious.....look how time flies.   Anyway, this is a thank you card going out to a new friend I met while I was on vacation.  It's funny how God puts the right people in your life at the just right moment.  She was a sweet, unexpected surprise.
 

Heartfelt Sympathy

These types of cards are the toughest to make. My heart goes out to the family that will receive this one. Words can't express the sadness.

Welcome Baby.....

Not your typical baby card but what can I say?......

High School Graduation Cards

Thinking of You!

 I love the big butterfly. I stamped it with gold embossing powder. On the inside I just used gold ink. I stamped on scrap once then on my inside piece. I wasn't sure about using these colors together but I think it turned out ok.

Pink and Black Baby Shower Card

The reason I used these colors is because these were the colors of the outfits that were my gift. I wish I would have taken a picture of those. Anyway, not a typical baby shower card.

First card in a long while.......

A Beach Buddy's Valentine......

See the real sand in the cup?

Inside - Where your treasure is, there too will be your heart.

There is the heart!

LOVE!

Sweet

What?....is this really mine?

Ok, so I'm on the up hill side of a bad funk. No wait, that doesn't make sense. I mean that I am starting to make my way out of a slump and this card is me trying really, really hard to do that. It's not that bad is it? Ok, it's not great but you have to start somewhere and well, here it is.

Simple Valentine....

Whooooooooo loves you?......ME!

Simple Thank You card....

I made this card for a couple of gifts we received. I got a Coach bag and Johnnie got a Coach wallet. So I got my inspiration for the thank you card from this wallet box.

So here is my real quick and simple thank you card.

I recycled the ribbon from my present. Looking at the picture now, I wished I would have ironed the ribbon before I put it on the card. Here is a close-up of the embossing.

Ghosting Christmas.....

Ghosting is what the technique is called that was used for this card. I decided to join in on the ghosting challenge at Just Us Girls Blog. I really had a hard time today being creative. I think it shows a lil bit. But I think it is kinda cute. BTW, I used the scoring tool from Stampin' Up! to make the background (seen in red).

Fourth and Final in my "Peace on Earth" Series

This card is as sweet as crumb cake! There's a lot going on here but yet it has a simple look. It's got glitter, crimping and embossing OH MY! See the silver snowflakes?

Number 3 in my "Peace on Earth" series

This is card 3 of my "Peace on Earth" mini series. I have one more left to do. For this one, I am participating in a challenge from Clean and Simple Stamping blog.  I struggled with this card for some reason. It's a miracle that it still has any glitter left on it. When making cards, sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a miss. What do you think here, a miss? I do like the inside...... and the outside is growing on me.....
