Anchor's Away

While blog hopping and watching You Tube videos I came across Make it Monday # 146Angled Backgrounds from PaperTrey Ink.   I immediately knew what to do with the scraps from my last set of cards.  I save ALL of my scraps no matter what size, you never know when your going to need them!  Plus I just loved the patterns and colors of the papers I had to use them.  Now I need to use up more of them and this way is perfect.

On the Farm

I made this card for my Niece who loves to ride Horses. She turned 12 this year and has grown up to be such a beautiful young lady.  I think she will enjoy her card. I forgot that I wanted to take a picture of the inside after I had already written in it.  So used the erase tool on my editing software to blur what I wrote.  (that's why it looks funny).  I originally wanted to use the hat on the outside but didn't like the way it looked, so I just decorated the inside.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

For my Dad's birthday I made a special shaped card so I figured I needed to do the same for my Mom's, I love the way this card came out.  This is my new favorite and will for sure be making more of them in the future.  I got the idea of this swing type card from SplitCoast Stampers.  I'm not sure what my style is yet because I love to try different techniques and styles, but I do love to make cards that the receiver will enjoy.
