So here is a card that I made for my sister - in - law , and the best part was I was able to spend her birthday with her. That was the first in many many years... I am sad to say I was not feeling well, after a weekend of either motion sickness gone to vertigo or what ever it hit me... But we did just enjoy being together.. .I treasure this lady, she has been a part of my life for over 50 years...I am so blessed, she has always been that " big sis " that I did not have...
I used some beautiful dp from a friend, and dry embossed the solid color with a folder from Sizzix, matched up and used some velvet ribbon from my stash, just to pretty it up. And then butterflies, yes just because I love them...a touch of " bling" and a simple sentiment..
I had to fit this in, as I turned Sue loose in my stamping / scrap book room to create cards while she was here... And oh I think she liked it : ) She liked it so much my brother bought her a Sizzix for her Birthday... You are welcome big brother : ) .
The second card for today is the card I made for my youngest daughter Krista, I struggle with cards for her.. Any of you that know her, know she has an eye for perfection in crafting, as well as cake decorating and life in general...
But here it is, hope it made her smile ...
I did not use a true PURPLE, which is her favorite color, but I loved this image ( pre colored ) from LOTV ... I had this awesome dp out and off I went. The scan does not show the color well, it did actually look pretty good together.I made a square card because I thought it showed off the image better
So, pretty paper, fancy ribbon a sweet little happy birthday stamp and the awesome image... my work was made easy... : )
Though my little girl is all grown up, I still remember these days... ..
Now for the best part... my next blog post will feature some of the cards that my sister in law Sue created while she was here... I keep telling her to put some up on her Etsy account or at a church function...
She is a fantastic seamstress, so I love to see where her creativity takes her...
So please be sure to stop back and check her cards out...
and get a link to her Etsy account too : )
Thanks so much for stopping by, It is still warm enough to enjoy some iced tea...
I so appreciate those of you that come visit... If you have not, please leave me a comment, I would love to read what you think about my cards and words
Love you all
And til next time, Smile and share some goodness with someone...
Bye Bye now
