Mother's Day Cards!

Happy Day everyone!

Yesterday I made 11 Mother's Day cards!
Yes, you read that correct.  Even though my own mother
has been gone for years, I try and make cards for the other
"moms" in my life.  Some are granddaughters in love, some are 
daughters in love, others are friends.  I just love making
cards!  I cannot take credit for this design!
It was inspired by Mary Grubbs the founder of 
Cardztv.  I have watched and loved Mary's blog for years.
She has taught me so much about card crafting and I 
was honored to serve on her Design Team for years.

This design is PERFECT for using up scraps of paper
and these papers come from a favorite Paper Studio paper pad
called Lola and Luca.


I even used a strip from my scraps to finish off
the inside of my card.  My sentiment comes from
two different My Creative Time Mother's day
sets.

The flowers come from Create a Critter cut with my
Cricut and also used Elegant Edges for make the 
mat that the flower sits on.  I use the Elegant Edges set so
often, I created a file and saved it.  Love my Cricut!

Happy Spring!

It's time to get crafty!

Hello all!
I'm excited to be back in my craft room
after having some health issues since June 2017.
I had major surgery in February and am now on
the mend - PRAISE THE LORD!

I retired in early December and I always
wanted to share crafting with my friends - now
finally I will have the time.  I've been preparing for 
a card class that I am holding this Saturday.
Here are a couple of the cards we will 
create and a sneak peak at future classes.


I'm teaching a class on card making
from a 6x6 paper pad using Kristie Marcotte's ideas
Love making 30 cards at once!


This card will also teach participants how to use
water color brushes to color an image.


Using card sketches allows me to focus on the paper
choices and coordinating everything and not worry 
about the design.


This card is from a future class I where I will
be teaching watercoloring images.


This card was one I just had to make!  This is
Gina K Designs Wreath Builder
stamp set and template!  Oh my - what fun!

Well that is all for now!  Thank you for stopping by
to see what I've been up to.  I'm waiting on 
spring here in northern Indiana - how about you?
