I'm Back!

After taking an 18 month break to serve a mission in PERU, I have officially returned to life as I used to know it (gotta admit though-I miss the simplicity of being a missionary.  It was amazing!)  But, that doesn't mean I still don't think about all of my friends in Peru everyday.  One of my old companion's birthdays is coming up here in a few weeks, so I decided to put my crafty skills to work and make her a cute "feliz cumpleaños" card.  Hopefully she gets it in time for her birthday....

It's a pretty basic card-the paper is DCWV Mariposa stack, with the butterfly from the Home Decor cartridge

The frame is also Home Decor, while the flowers come from Forever Young

Feliz Cumpleaños Hermana Captain!  Que te lo pasa bien es mi deseo!

More Cards :)

The challenge at 365 Cards-Day #218 was to create a card using 3 sheets of patterned paper all from the same paper stack.  I have a couple of DCVW stacks, and I just got the "green" stack the other day-so that was the stack I used.  I love this simplistic little thank you card.  Let me know what you think!

Back to Work!

For someone who doesn't have anything going on in her life, I've managed to keep surprisingly busy :)  It was my cousin's birthday yesterday, so I made her this card to send to her.  She loved it!

Gorgeous Girl

So I made this card for a friend whom I haven't seen in a while, and once I got done, I realized that it went along perfectly with challenge #212 from 365 Cards!  It's got a girl, a green purse, and some glittery hearts in the corners!

Almost everything on the card was made from the Forever Young cartridge I got last week!  (The scalloped circle was from Home Decor.) This is such a fun cartridge and I'm so glad I added it to my collection ($18 on ebay and it's wonderful!)  The hearts were chipboard cutouts from Scrap Works. I think it turned out really nicely.  Let me know what you think!!
