No excuses!

Good morning Faithful Followers!
If you are reading this, then you are really a faithful follower, since I have been remiss in posting! (Karla!) It has been a very busy year. Since my last post, my daughter gave me the gift of a beautiful granddaughter, Ava Grace. Life doesn't get much better than having grandchildren, that's for sure!


Okay, onto my blog. Today I am posted several cards, to try to make up for lost time. ;-)


 This is a card that was made using a stamp set from GinaK. I just love this set. It's so masculine and it's not always easy to find something different that is. I used inks and sponges to do my background and the sun. 
This card was made as a welcome baby card. Looking at it here, it looks very busy in design. This is one that looks better in person. I like using the beads to spell out the new baby's name. 




This card was made using a Heartfelt Creations stamp. I just love their stamps and especially this set. I used two shades of purples on each flower to give it more dimension. The leaves were done using colored pencils and Gamsol to soften them. There is a tiny pearl in the center of each flower, which are from Stamping' Up!


I hope to be back here soon to share more with you. I have made and sent a number of cards, forgetting to take pictures of them. I need to work on remembering to take the photos! 


Have a great day!


Hugs!
