Get Well Soon

Well, I've always loved the Stampin' Up Thoughts and Prayers set, and I finally gave in and bought it. This card is for a friend who is having surgery next week. I am entering it into 2 challenges as well.

The colors don't show up correctly. It's really Close to Cocoa and Sage Shadow, colors inspired by the Etsy Inspired Challenge - EIC114 - mine was a beautiful seafoam bracelet found here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/52277667/seafoam-bracelet-gemstones-and-silver.

The other inspiration was the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge - SC307 - and WT297 - to use brown - found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com.

2 Cards from SU Workshop

These 2 cards are from a Stampin Up workshop at my new friend and demonstrator's house - thanks, Yolanda - had a great time and these cards are beautiful, although I can't take credit for the design. They are lovely, though, aren't they? Just wanted to share them anyway. tfl

SU Ornament Card

Yesterday I went to a workshop at my new SU demonstrator's house here in California, and met some wonderful people and had a great time!

Thanks, Yolanda, for the inspiration and a great time!

Peaceful Feelings

I made this card for my husband...he needed some encouragement. He loved it! My inspiration was from the EtsyInspired Challenge found here: http://etsyinspired.blogspot.com/. The piece I chose is here at Putu Princess Escapes shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/59573148/myanmar-koi-womens-short-sleeve-tee. I just love these tee-shirts! I think I have to have one or two!! hehe

White Christmas

This card is for a challenge at Simon Says Stamp, to make an (Almost) All White project - found here: http://simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/11/simon-says-are-you-all-white.html. I recycled a Christmas card from last year for the snowflake bg, adding the white sparkly panel in back of the tree, and of course the embossed christmas tree. The little white button seemed perfect, and then I added a few little pearls to the tree.

Thru the Window

This card is for Splitcoaststampers F4A37 challenge, to create a project with an image that has a tail, found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/free-all-f45/f4a37-tail-waggin-greetings-11-5-10-a-t511107.html. These little birdies (a digi from imag-e-nation) sure fit that challenge, and I used the "simple frame" technique found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/simpleframe.

I made it look like you're looking out a window and there is snow piled up on the windowsill outside.
