"Vintage Christmas"

Hello Everyone! This is my last post for 2011! It has been an amazing year, with a few bumps. But; all in all, it has been a wonderful year of learning! The cards that I am sharing today are from my "rush" Custom Card Order for my friend Becky. I made four of these all together, two of each! It was a real change of pace for me, NO COLORING... Can you believe that? It was fun to do some heat embossing again! I forgot how much I like that technique!  Wow... it almost a new year... Doesn't it seem like it went by fast? I am looking forward to the New Year and all the things that I will learn! I hope that y'all have a wonderful and safe New Year too! Okay... I won't keep you much longer! LOL!!!

"Teddy Bear Present"

Good Morning Everyone! This is the last card for my friend Carol's Custom Card Order! It was for a special little girl, Hannah who she made a baby quilt for last May! I also made her a Custom Card to go along with the quilt at that time! Hannah's first Christmas... I think her Mom loved this card! Since Carol does Custom Quilts... I hand stitched the front and the inside of this card, just for Carol! Isn't it adorable?

"Sweet Innocence"

Good Afternoon Everyone! Today is the start of the long Memorial Day weekend, YAY! I am sure most of you have plans, either to travel or stay at home and get things caught up or even maybe have a BBQ! No matter what your plans are please be SAFE! I also want to remind everyone to take a few minutes of silence, to pray and thank all of those soldiers out there that either are not with their families for this holiday or who have served in the past, so we all can be free to do what we like! I know that I personally am very thankful for all that our soldiers have done and will continue to do!!!

This creation is for a friend of mine, Carol... she makes handmade quilts! Her husband's boss and wife just had a little baby girl... Hannah! The colors of the quilt are brown and dark pink, so this is the card that I made for her to give to them! (Did I confuse you? LOL!) This cutie is by the Digi Doodle Shop called "Sleeping Infant"!
