dear to my heart

Just pulling out some stamp sets that I haven't used for quite awhile and having fun with some fresh, summery colors.  I've created these cards for my two little grand daughters who are turning five this summer and will be excited to start school - wherever and whatever that will be when the time comes!

I had originally planned to use a pale pink card base until I put my brown scrap of cardstock beneath it for contrast and loved it!

mother's day project

because of the situation we're all in right now, I made a few extra mother's day cards this year for elderly friends who are feeling so alone . . .

gratitude

 

 

I had a completely different project in mind last night, but when I got up this morning this is what was running thru my head - so flowers (all hand cut, mind you) and all, with a last minute switch from pink cardstock to the woodgrain and voila - a sweet note for my darling daughter!!!

sending love

 

I have such a difficult time letting go of the unused elements from completed projects!  I've had red flowers and blue leaves in my bin for a year - so I put them together with a couple of die cut sentiments to create a simple card for Ink to Paper's sending love challenge . . .
