Sad trip

On our way.

I also really like this blue, and use it in lots of cards.

This card uses the popular hegaxon shape. I like embossing, so used that, also.

Costa Rica

This place was AMAZING! We saw the waterfalls and walked up and down lord knows how many steps. Our hostess said there was a bad earthquake in this area about 2 years ago. The road to and from here was really bad! It was worth it to see the butterflies. The large cats were not out.

Make It Monday #80: Making Garland

This is a layout of my son's birthday using Papertrey Ink doily dies for the garland and Birthday Basics for the sentiment on the bottom.

Birthday card for my son.

Papertrey Ink Challenge

Sample for inspiration.

Papertrey Ink's Challenge was to make something using the first picture as an inspiration. The materials used were: PTI's matching dies and stamps and their yellow paper, summer sunrise.

Butterfly Bday card

This was made using a mat stack and some spellbinders nestabilities. It really is cute.

Waltzing Mouse's New Beginning Challenge

This card was made for my grandson's high school graduation. I used Tim Holtz Die and embossing folder, and Waltzing Mouse's stamps that go with Spellbinders labels 25 .

For You Card

This card was made with the Cricut Elegant Edges for the base, Spellbinders Floral ovals cut with a plain oval, Spellbinders Moroccan Accents, and PTI Mat Stack 2. The colors on the oval were done with Tim Holtz's Tumbled Glass Distress Stain and Tattered Angles Glimmer mist Jingle Bells. It really looks cute layered, so I put 2 pictures up, one with a flash and one without so the shadows could be seen better.

This will go in the FCCB contest for Monday. Check out their neat blog!

Birthday Card

I made this using Spellbinders Dies and Papertrey Ink paper.

Birthday Card for a Special Friend

I got the idea for this card from Amazing Paper Grace:
http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/your-friendship/
I used embossing folders, a border punch, stampin up for the "birthday wishes" and some flower ribbon found at Hancock Fabrics for the flowers.

This is a layout of my son, Brian, and his wife, Jennifer, and Nikki and Darren. I used a sticky canvas for the tree, some of the flowers are Prima, some are home made. I like the texture of the tree very much.

Christmas lay out

In this layout I scanned the background paper from this SEI paper pad, then put pictures on the background paper using Photo Shop Elements. I had 2 5X7 photos developed for this. They really matched the paper as they are from the same paper pad.

Girl Fun

Every year my best girl friends get together for a Christmas Celebration! Janice hosted us in Brevard this year. What a wonderful time!
