just a couple of cards

Yayyy I'm back ... :)

 thanks for not giving up on me u'all !! I have been letting my desk sit empty for a while now, but hopefully I'm back now. Lately  I've been working on card sets, I use the same layout and stuff for the cards but different colors and each card says something different as well. 

So here u go ... my first set of 6 cards ... 

set of 6 cards

The bird is a cut-out from a larger stamped image and heat embossed add texture and I also raised it off the card a bit

The swirly thingy I drew myself, just couldn't find anything I liked on the net, so I kind of copied something I liked and I think it turned out o.k .. :)

one u can use for any occasion

and that's about
 all I got for today
God Bless you all ...

Christmas Cards

Merry Christmas Everyone, 

 So, so much has happened since I last posted, this Season really is the busiest ever,  I haven't made as many Christmas Cards as I'd hoped but time slipped away and well, no time is no time... we are practicing full out for our annual school concert, which is in 5 days, and we are no where ready, I'm supposed to be getting costumes ready and yeah, I haven't done that either, Every year we show this PowerPoint about what happened all year, big events, small event, important or not, I'm really including everything this year, it's so hilarious going back and watching all those video clips I took during the year, so that's what's keeping me so busy all day and most of the night, powerpointing,... I'm supposed to be showing it on the 1st of January but I've only completed 3.5 months, But I am working on it.... anyway back to the cards... here they are for you ... and once again...
a very Merry Christmas to you all... :)

fruits and veggies for winter use,

best friend ,,, she told me a couple weeks ago but then the 

floods came and we were all over making sandbags and

diking so time before my scrap table 

was very limited .... on my first free day she comes up to 

me and says,,, "still waiting"  and i remembered so I sat down

right a way and got to making her a sweet card, just like she wanted it:)

and here's what i came up with,,,, isn't it cute... might be my favorite so far....

Mother's Day Card

Mother's Day, a day to celebrate moms

It should come more than once a year but since it does

come only once a year

we got to make the most out of that day,

and what better way to

show the appreciation than with a homemade card

this year I even managed to dig deeeeeep

into my mind and pull out a short vers,

just to make sure there would be

none like it.... and I'm not so great at writing ... at all ..

so .... no laughing.... kay???

and so ... having said all that
here's my mom's day card.....

more cards

Just thought I'd interest you with more cards....

this was a total surprise turnout for me, but i really like it,,, :)

I lifted and embossed the eagle on this one 

just to add something 'more' to it,

the person who wanted it, wanted it plain

I can't really do plain,,, but I tried

 ttly:)
