I am having some fun making Mother's Day cards!
I'm glad I got some good stamps from Verve!
I'm trying to make a few more with some different colors and styles
to have a nice variety in my Etsy boutique. I also excited
that I have a Stampin Up order coming in this
week with some great Father's Day stamps. I'll be tackling some of
those cards in a few weeks!


My creation:


Supplies:

Paper studio paper
Verve stamps, Versamark ink, Zing glitter black ep

Retro Sketch #52

For this weeks Retro Sketch since it has been a years
worth of sketches, Arielle said to go through
all the past Retro sketches and pick
one from there to do. I liked this alot since I have only
recently come across Retro. I picked sketch #43 which I think
was the sketch that they were on when I first discovered them
but I didn't have time to participate. The only thing I really did different with
this sketch was the placement of the sentiment.


My creation:


supplies:

Paper studio dp
Verve stamps, Versamark ink
Zing glitter black ep
Nesties labels die
champagne seam binding, button, jute
stick-on pearls

help fill the space.

Wow its been awhile! The Hubs and I have been busy
remodeling our rent house for our new 
tenant and we finally finished last week, and 
she got all moved in so we decided we needed a break from
everything here so we went to Dallas for the weekend for 
a bit of R&R... I got ALOT of sleep and now I am back
and ready to make some more cards!!

This card is for Mojo's contest week, they do this the 
fist monday of every month. I'm still making cards to send to various
people at my church when they are sick, having surgery, or
recently lost loved ones. That's why most of
what you'll be seeing will be the 'praying for you' and
'thinking of you' type cards...

Supplies Used:
Verve stamps, Stazon ink
Sizzix bigz flowers 3
Recollections paper pack
