Boo!

Alright....I'm on a roll!  This time Halloween.  I've had this stamp set for so long and I've put off using it because of the masking I knew I had to do but today I just jumped in and I'm thrilled!!!  I think this a CAS card.

Merry Christmas - gift card holder

Hello!!  It's October 10th and I've made my first Christmas card this year!!!  I'm ahead :). Actually I have some left over from last year so I'm not doing so bad. 

Love this card / gift card holder and I've decided to prep a bunch for a crop I'm attending in a couple weeks. This is my first crop!!!!  Excited - I've registered for a bunch of classes too, woohooo!

Here is a link to the tutorial for this card. Only thing I did different was I used a kraft card base rather than dp. I wanted it to be sturdy. I think this would be great to give a few packaged together as a gift for someone else to give and I have someone in mind for that.

I'm entering this into Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge #45.

A Flower For You

A friend and coworker of mine has been dealing with some really tough stuff the last couple years and she's recently had to take some time off work. This card is for her. I hope it makes her smile. I have to say, it's been a long time since I used markers or copics. I've pretty much been sticking to stamping so I felt a little rusty. I loved how the image turned out using my blender pen and the SU markers. I coloured directly on the watercolour paper just slightly and blended it and I was thrilled!!

This Too Shall Pass

It's been a rough summer for our family, especially hubby. We lost another parent, my stepfather in-law. In just over three months he lost both fathers (his stepdad of 40 years), his father suddenly and his stepfather after a very long hard fought battle with cancer. This card was for my mother in-law.
