Berry Blessings

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. The weather was great! I went for a nice run, we BBQ, and my husband took me out for ice cream.

This simple card is one we made at my May class. It uses sale-a-bration items which are retired, but too cute not to use.

Happy Mother's Day! Hope all you mothers out there are having a lovely day. I had my May card class yesterday and we had a nice day of making cards, eating cupcakes, and drinking mimosas. Today was filled with more mimosas and a run. Great weekend!

This is one of the cards we made yesterday. I worried that it was too busy, but the ladies loved it.

 

I couldn't decide which paper to use so I had options.

I made a third, but I dropped it on an open stamp pad as I finished it. Don't you hate it when that happens? I could have cried. Oh well, won't be the last time I do that.

A Touch of Ink

Hi! Sale-a-bration happened in January-February so I'm a bit late in posting this card, but it's pretty and I thought "why not?"

My fellow demonstrator/friend, Polly Crouch, made a card using this set at one of her card classes and I loved it so I had to make one similar for my card class the following month.

It uses two free items from Sale-a-bration (and a couple retired items too).

We used Wink of Stella on the bird, but you can't really see it in the photos.

Seaside Notions

It's raining today. Normally that makes me sad, but today it makes me happy because it means I can spend my time making cards. 

This card is one we made at my March card class. Seaside Notions stamp set is retiring in June so I thought I would use it again. 

I used DSP from the Whale of a Time pack. It goes well with the seahorse image.
