A work of art & an award

Happy 4th of July everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful day today! The weather here in the islands is just beautiful and the various fireworks shows are gonna start in about 40-45 minutes all over Oahu.

I wanted to share this beautiful card I received from my DF Shirley, all the way from the UK! I've been admiring Shirley's cards for a while now, and got to see a couple of them in real life. If you haven't checked out Shirley's blog yet, please do so! You won't be disappointed! She puts so much thought and detail into her cards, that they are not really cards, but pieces of art! See for yourself ...

The large flowers are three layers deep, with punched out leaves, and silk & bead flowers accenting them.

Shirley even attached a cute little kitty charm to one of the flowers! It matches perfectly with the Tilda image, which was colored superbly.


Thank you so very much Shirley, for this gorgeous one-of-a-kind card. I will treasure it always. Shirley was also kind enough to pass on the "Uber Amazing Blog" award to me! Thank you again, Shirley, for thinking of me!

Of course I'm sending this award to all of you awesome blogging sisters who always take the time out to leave such nice comments on my blog. Without your encouraging words, I'm not sure I'd keep up this blog. Thanks for visiting and until next time, take care and be safe. Aloha ...

  7. Hi there my sweet friend! Man, do you have posters of Edwin in your bedroom, kitchen, living room, at work? But, glad to say, he's a great "dreamy" looking guy so I could never get tired of your blog with him surrounding us! LOL! That card you got from Shirly is just beautiful...so vibrant and pretty. She does wonderful work and I love the layered flowers! Hugs, Cami

  8. Oooops, me again! I don't know why my PC keeps showing "Edwin" vs. Edward. Sometime my spell check is stubborn and automatically "corrects" my spelling. Maybe I'd better check the words I have store in it hahaha. But, I did know a handsome fella named Edwin (sigh). Cami
