Here it is:

Here is the card I made using the card from my previous post as inspiration. This card is going to my sister-in-law for her baby shower. It is fun to make something geared towards a little baby girl... I do have one niece already that I get to do "girly" things for once in a while, but with having boys myself, this is still a treat.

Not Mine

This is one of the cards I made at my Stampers 10 group... I thought it was so cool that I would post it here. Jaimie, my wonderful Stampin' Up! demonstrator and friend, had this card set up for us to make... so all accolades go to her! (When are you starting your blog, Girl?) My next post will show a card that I made derived from the layout of this card. Come back now, ya hear?

Prototype

I made this card on the way to making the card from the previous post. Then I made about 13 more of the other card to send out to family and friends. :-) And, by the way, I loved these little pre-tied bows. I got them a long time ago (maybe they were even a gift from my mom) and I don't remember where I got them. Hopefully someday I will find some more!

He Is Risen!

Starting to feel better... finally! Here is one example of the cards I sent out for Easter. Happy Easter!

BLOG BREAK

Sick, tired, too much going on, stress... Will be back again after our house sells. Take care!

"Green" Card

Recycled card, that is. Thank you, Sharon, for the lovely Valentine you sent! I turned around and used it to make this "Welcome New Baby" card for my stamping group at church. The front of the card made for a lovely background and I added the stamped part on top. Again... simple.

Birds of a Feather...

Yeah... the title of this post has really nothing with what I am going to say here... I love birds, but here is about the card.

-

I took a layout from my trusty Stampin' Up! catalog and idea book. The card really looked nothing like this one... using brighter colors and larger format than what I did here... but I think you can get ideas from anywhere (I am learning this, actually) and here is what I came up with.

-

The basic idea was a blank cardstock backdrop... next was a textured or textured look layer with an image stamped on it... then the added image in the upper left corner with the raffia accent... and the finishing touch was adding the brads... they really balance out the dark color of the matted feather, don't you think?

Anyway... have fun with what you see everywhere, I guess, as ideas can come from there.
