Sympathy Calla Lillies

I had this die forever and today is the first day I have ever used it.

It was quite a challenge to put it together like a puzzle.

I loved the way it turned out.

I don't use grey much in my card making but I thought it would

look perfect with this die.

I am loving these material cards.  

This one is way more beautiful in person.

I love those gold flowers. They are so pretty

all I did was add a sentiment.

Material Christmas Cards

My friend Debbie gave me a bunch of Christmas material

and I turned them in to cards.

I love how they turned out.

Christmas cards for June

I made these 7 simple Christmas cards today.

I am trying to make a few each month and

these are my cards for June.

A mixture of embossing folders,

die cuts and sequins and

there you have it!!!!!

Mom in Action

Today is Mother's Day and my daughter put this on her Instagram.

The caption was "My Mom in Action!"

I thought it was just adorable 

and so fitting.

She knows me well!

Bubble wrap technique

Gina K. inspired me to try the bubble wrap technique.

I like how it turned out.

They look like little roses to me.

I was so happy with how it worked

I did it in several different colors.

Christmas cards for the month of May

I am trying to make some Christmas cards each month

so I am not bogged down around the holidays.

Here are my cards for May.

I found some material that my friend Debbie

had cut for me, so I used all that up

on these cards.

A couple of them have paper backgrounds too.

I thought they turned out nice.

I put away all my Christmas stamps and paper till June.
