Fly Away.....

 

I made this card for a challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2, then forgot where I saw the challenge so I figured I would just share my design, then totally forgot to even post it.  One of my co workers was looking for a Sympathy card and I knew I had this one.  Went to my blog to show her and couldn't find it, then found it as a draft.  lol............

 

So I hope you enjoy it anyway................I love the these papers and love the way it turned out.  I had to try out the Sew Easy so I used a coupon and purchased it at Michael's.  It didn't work very well on two layers of papers, I had to use a pin to make the holes bigger and by the time I was at the end of the stitches the floss was all tangled.  Next time I will only try one layer and see if that works better.

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.

Campin Critters

I finally purchased Campin Critters Cartridge, I love it.  All of the cuts are so cute.  I used my gypsy to weld together two background pieces to make the card.  I made it large enough to fit in a 7.25x5.25 envelope.  I wanted to make it bigger so I could cut the Deer out bigger.  I love the way it turned out, so cute.

Strawberry Goodness!

At work I had such a wonderful lady transfer into my department. She is s so kind and thoughtful, she occasionally brings us little things to brighten our day.  She has given us a small Orchid to a cup of DD coffee on Fridays.  I thought I would brighten her Monday and make her a basket of Strawberries as a Thank You!

I had a lot of fun making these baskets filling them with goodies to share:
