very nice!

Kim, please send your mailing address to scrappingg@gmail.com.  You have 2 weeks to reply!

Now onto my card for today.....I created a birthday card to share with you guys today.  Take a look, tell me what you think. 

 

This card was actually rather simple to make.  It's a 5 X 7 card and all of my paper is from Recollections.  I basically matted this gorgeous paper on to my card base to create the card.  The butterfly on the front of my card was cut from the Picturesque Cricut Cartridge and was cut at 1 3/4 inches.  My ribbon is from Walmart and the sentiment is from DRS. 

 

For the inside of the card, I just matted another piece of that gorgeous paper that had a printed butterfly and space to write!  

Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy the rest of your week.

Weekly Wednesday Post

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a great Easter.  I'm sorry I missed my last post but I've been a bit under the weather.  My RA was acting up pretty badly and I was having difficulty just holding ribbon to make a bow.  I seem to be doing somewhat better this week.

I have three cards to share with you this week.  I've been coloring again with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  All of my cards are 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. 

 

This image stamp is from CTMH.  

The sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

 

This adorable little girl is a Stampabilities stamp.  

Isn't she the cutest!

 

Another CTMH image stamp paired with a Hero Arts Sentiment! 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great week!
