Celebrate Card 2

I am getting ready to celebrate my 43rd birthday next week so I thought I would make a card today to celebrate. Things have been crazy and time has gotten away from me. School will be out soon and the teachers will be gone so it will slow down a little until August. Another 4 more weeks in the air cast from when I broke my foot February. A grand total of 13 weeks by the time I go back again to the Dr. Will it ever end. LOL I am just thankful it was not worse. Hope you all are enjoying good weather for once! Prayers go out to anyone who may have been affected by the storms.

Recycling Old Christmas Cards


This year I decided to save all my old Christmas cards to use again in new homemade cards. I used one card to make the waterfall section of the card. I cut it into two inch squares. This card was perfect for that because the pictures where already in square shapes. For detailed instructions on how to make a waterfall card go to: Crafting at the Spotted Canary

Just Because

I used the Gypsy to create the card. Crossing over two images to make one foldable card. I cut the flower from the Creative Memories Reminisce Accents. I then used glitter and a jewel to decorate it.

Simple Scrapbook Page

Sometimes we tend to over do it on scrapbook pages and the pictures disappear because of to much frufru. I do that myself sometimes. Somtimes we need to let the pictures take the stage on the page by allowing simplicity in our designs.
