365 Cards Challenge


This card is for today's sketch challenge at 365 Cards Challenge found here: http://365cards.blogspot.com/. The flower and leaves are stamped with Inkadinkadoo stamps, cut out and snipped and ruffled. The flower center is a little button and the bird's eyes are little beads. I colored white ribbon with Copics, as all my other ribbon is still in storage. tfl

Here is a card for Splitcoaststampers CC291 and Midnight Madness Challenge - MMSC74 - for Cards for Kids. Still working with limited supplies in my temporary home. tfl


I'm Baaaack....at least partially!




Hi there! Thanks for checking in! We finally got moved to CA, although we're staying in a temporary place right now. I don't have all my crafting supplies, so my cards will be kinda cryptic for a while, but figure this is a good time to work on the "Cards for Kids" campaign, since they have to be kept fairly simple anyway. However, I can start off with 3 cards that I made with Amy before I left. Just haven't been able to post them before. Here they are. I sure miss that girl!
