Cracked glass technique -third post today

Hi

This should be a very short post. I wanted to show you the cracked glass technique I tried. The picture is not as clear as I would like : 1) the photography isn't the best and 2) the picture is only 4" x 41/2".

The picture is from http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/

This is a site I use a lot to get digi's etc. from.

I was rather pleased with the technique but will try a little bigger picture next time or a little brighter colored one.

The next project after I finish my craft room is going to be a simple light box.

The craft room is just waiting for the electrician now to move the plug ins and one or two more shuffles of furniture to make the craft area all craft and the office area all office. Hopefully electrician comes tomorrow.

Sorry for three posts in one day but I have really been otherwise occupied. Hoping to soon get into my cardmaking again.

Have a blessed day.

Elf birthday card

Hi

This little card was made for my daughter's 40 plus birthday and since she is not liking those numbers I decided to make a fun card for her instead of my usual rather fussy cards. The elf image is from http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com and the flowers in the background are my first attempt at Cricut Color pens from Wal Mart. Also the second attempt at coloring. Thanks Chris from Mudmaven Designs for getting me started.

The flowers are from http://papasuecreative.blogspot.com/

That is a wonderful site. That was my practice sheet and so one bunch was colored and one wasn't. Also I had to put the flowers on SCAL and break apart the components in order to use 2 different colors of Cricut pens.

Have a blessed day.

50th Wedding Anniversary

Hi
It has been such a long time since I posted on my blog.
Today I wanted to share a card I made for very good friends of ours.
There is a wee bit of a story . They were married the same day, same church, same hour, same amount of bridesmaids as I was. They were married in Quebec and I was married in Saskatchewan. We did not know each other. My marriage ended 15 years later.
I eventually met and married a young man from Quebec. It turned out they had been friends in Quebec. Now we all have been friends and I have been married to my husband for 32 years.
The card is from the template from Curt at Curt's World and Lynn Pratt at www.stampndesign.blogspot.com . The dress is made of handmade paper cut into two layers with the panel layers embossed with gold ink and heat embossed. The tuxedo is made from handmade paper and the shirt is the same handmade paper as the brides dress. I lined the envelope with the same gold paper the card was layered on. The card is approximately 5"x6".
The cake was absolutely gorgeous and very tasty. Their children and spouses put on a fantastic party and we enjoyed meeting all their friends and many who we have met over the years and are now our friends.
Have a blessed day.
Myrna
