In my heart and prayers

Here is a sympathy or get well card.  It could do for many different needs.  I used a Tim Holtz Sizzix Embossing folder on the butterfly and the sentiment is from Our Daily Bread designs.  I love their stamps.  They are so appropriate for those who want to make religious cards.  Their designers make beautiful cards as well.  You can go visit their website at http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/.  The stamp set is called "Thinking of You" and can be found at http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/thinkingofyou.html.  They also have images that you can color for those who use Copic markers.  Hope you have a blessed and highly productive week. 

CKU Convention July 2010

Hi Everyone.

I just want to thank all of the new people that came by to visit because of Diane's posting.  She is so sweet.  I feel I met some of scrapbooking royalty.  Her knowledge of Design Studio is beyond compare.  Here is a little card I made a CKU in King of Prussia during July.  I wanted to make more masculine cards and I loved this one.  I found some brads that were great for older gentlemen. They were chunky and heavy weight.  I also used paper from the Graphic 45 A Proper Gentleman Collection.  I hope you like it.

Have a wonderfully blessed day.

Butterfly Card

Hi Everyone.  I made a bunch of cards at the end of July and I'm just getting a chance to put them up.  I was a bit hesitant about the patterned paper.  I liked it but at first I thought I wouldn't be able to find an image that fit.  This image is a butterfly from the Martha Stewart All Occasion Cartridge.  I like it a lot.  I embossed the butterly and used a bit of orange Coredinations cardstock to peep through the cutouts in the butterfly.  I hope you like it.  I put the flower to cover a bit of a stamping boo boo.  That is why I cut out a U as well.

Have a wonderfully blessed day.

Thank You Cards

I have been looking at a lot of people's work online and have wanted to start distressing my cards.  I haven't taken the dive yet.  Sometimes I am hesitant about distressing cards because not everyone likes the older and more worn look.  I have these simple A2 cards to share with you today.  I made most with some Cricut and stickers from my stash.  Have a wonderful day.

Wedding Card

This is a wedding card I created for a coworker.  The wedding colors were orange and fuschia.  I thought the redish color was fuschia before I saw it in the light.  It is between fuschia and something else just I am not sure what.  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder on the Mr and Mrs.  The cuts are from Cricut Sweethearts and another Cricut Cart which is escaping my mind right now.

Have a blessed day.

More Martha Cartridge Cards

I find the cuts from the Martha Stewart All-Occasion cartridge simple and elegant.  They don't have too many layers and they look nice on cards.  I sometimes have a little trouble with the borders because they have a lot of small holes to punch out but overall they are wonderful.  I know that these borders will never give out like some of my punches have and you don't have to hurt your hand and try to align everything.

I hope you enjoy the following cards.

Have a blessed day.
