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!

Another Thanksgiving Card

I am enjoying making Thanksgiving card this year!   This sketch is similar to the last card but I liked it enough to create another card.  I heat embossed the leaves and added a small bow to add some bling-bling to the card.  Enjoy!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Autumn Birthday

A friend is celebrating her birthday today and this card was created for the occasion.  An autumn birthday card seemed appropriate since she likes those colors.  I love the leaves, wish they had a die :( I had to fussy cut them.  Enjoy!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Grateful for You!

This is an ideal sketch for my workshop.  I used an old piece of paper I had with Autumn colors and stamped the leaves on the Crushed Curry paper.  My friend Antonieta suggested the "falling leaves" and I like how it looks.  Enjoy!
