Valentine Card

Somehow I used this color combination again,??  Totally inspired by the talented Jennifer McGuire, here is the link to this fabulous technique.  This is a great alternative way of using dies.  I am amazed at the creativity I found in this challenge.  When I first saw the sketch I really didn't think much of it, but as I fallowed the challenge the ideas just kept popping.  I settled for this one but there are a few more I must make. LOL Enjoy!

Butterfly

I am loving this new butterfly die made in DP.  I also added a lawyer of vellum to add dimension to the butterfly.  Lots of new goodies... embossing folder, butterfly die and sentiment.  Enjoy!

Birthday Card

Happy 2015!!
I was inspired by Cindy Hall's card at Freshly Made and used the colors from Color Throwdown challenge.  I remembered a stamp set that I had not used and thought it could be good to case a similar card.  I like the results but wonder if the polka dots in red would have been a better color choice. The butterflies were stamped on vellum and a plain one cut for the base to give it more of a 3D look.   Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

It's the season to be joyful and thankful for family, friends and for eternal life that Jesus gave to us.  Easy to forget the meaning of Christmas with all the running around, but we must stop and remember that a precious child was born and gave His life for us.  To all my blog friends: I wish you a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2015.  I specially want to thank my daughter Tania who taught me patiently how to blog, she is so special to me.  Enjoy!!

It's all about Jesus!

The sketch from Fusion challenge gave me the inspiration for this card, but unfortunately I ran out of time to post. The Paper Players has a fun challenge this week Tic-Tac-Toe and I chose star, embossing and white.  After attaching the red border I realized I had not dry embossed the white cover.  Heat embossing with clear was the solution and also added a star to the flower.  Enjoy!
