Bloom


It was a long weekend going to our sons reception in Lewiston Idaho. But lots of fun and a last minute decession to go. We ended up suprizing them.

We really enjoy looking at the craftsmanship of old houses, and buildings. There were so many fine examples to see and get pictures of. A testimony of their craftsmanship, and attention to detail is hard to beat, even in today's world.

We found many examples of their craftsmanship, in their wood workings, and in their stone, glassand metal workmanship. It is incredible.

I made this card on thursday as I knew I would need one for monday. Sorry I am late in posting this.

This was the first time using Bloomin Beautiful. I was really in the mood to chage my colors and do something different.

Heart To Heart

Its been a fun week having my sister come and stay with me. Heart to Heart in many ways as we truly are like best friends. It so nice to have such a wonderful sister. I already miss her and she has only been gone a few hours. Also my sister in law is here and it has been fun having some time with her. I taught her how to make her first stamped card. She seamed to really enjoy it. My sister says my craft room is like a retreat. Some day I will post some pictures of my craft haven. You can get lost up there. I also have another sister coming for a visit. I cant wait to also get to spend some time crafting with here. We all have a very close relationship.


This card was made by using bleach on the stamp and stampin onto the cardstock. Then image will lighten right in front of your eyes. If I get any requests I will do a tutorial. I am posting three different ways to make this cute card. The slight change in layout came form my sister and sister in law.

Butterfly Friendship

This has been a fun and exciting week as I finished up the decor for my son's wedding. I will be posting several new items from the wedding. One of my specialties is making chipboard albums. This week I will be posting a wedding album.
Don't you just love this new Simple Friendship stamp set, Parisian Breeze Specialty Designer Series paper, Baja Breeze, Craft and Whisper White card stock and Baja Breeze 5/8" grosgrain striped ribbon from Stampin'Up. I distressed the edges with sponge daubers and added Pearl Rhinestone Stickers from Michaels. This package had various sizes to choose from which made it perfect for this project. The butterfly and flower were added with glue dots.



This card was made for the Mojo Monday 76 contest. Check out their link at: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2009/03/mojo-monday-76-contest.html
