Bright and Fresh Sympathy

I know, that doesn't sound very sympathetic but it seems all my sympathy cards are made in darker colors.  Today I thought I would use a nice light pastel color.

I know know when you loose someone young it is a very dark time in your life.  That being said; even though it felt like the worst day in my life when my Dad passed I was still happy for him that it was over and he was not in pain anymore.  That’s what I was thinking about when I made this card.

 

I bought a new set of Spelbinder Dies and used them for this card.  I also am hooked on making my own envelopes now too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great week!

Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone.

What a beautiful day here in Saskatchewan Canada.  Spent most of the day outside working in the garden and flower beds weeding.  Things are really coming along; will take pictures when things are more advanced.

The card I made today is for a birthday,  I used my slice to make the butterfly and the sentiment is from Stampin Up. I also made an envelope to match using the diagonal insert for Stampin Up’s score pad.

 

Thanks once again for dropping in!

A Spring Card and Envelope!

Hi everyone! It is an exciting day here! I got my Stampin Up order!!!!!!!!!!  I have everything I need now to make my own envelopes!!!!  What a great way to use up some paper that has been around forever!!!!!

Here is the card I made yesterday.

Here is my envelope with the card.

It is a beautiful sunny day here for a change.  We have been having way too much rain and seeding is behind!  I sure hope it stays nice for everyone to finish getting the crops in!

With Sympathy

I hate to say but I am asked to make way too many sympathy cards!! 

This card I made using a digital image from Stampin Up.

I added flower soft to the grass just to jazz it up.

 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and lets pray the rain stops for awhile!

Flutter Like Butterfly

Can you believe it!…….I actually got inspired today to make a card!!!!!  I owe it all to Kathy, my SU demo!!!  She left the new SU catty at the Hospital for me.  I went online and ordered some things plus some digital stamps which include these butterflies.

As you can see there are only two layers. I have decided after such a long slump I am going to keep my cards as simple as possible. Hope you like it!

It’s Graduation Season!

The image is called Fairy Teacup  and is from Moe’s Digital pencil.

• SU paper and dp. it K&Company.

Too Many Digis????

Maybe……….oh heck….yes!!!!!!!  I colored up this digi a while ago and do you think I can remember the company it came from???????  I give up looking for now.

I think I need to start marking each image when I print them off so I know where they come from.

When I came across this image today I knew what the card should look like before I started.

Here is the card-
