Anniversary screen fold card

Hi,
I just love the screen fold cards.  This was an anniversary card for a very special couple.  You may have to click on it to see the detail.  I think the envelope with a little different twist to the embellishment is rather cute.  The verse was from the internet.  The wee church on the last page was a stamp and I think it fit in really well with the other pieces from DP I have had for several years.
Hugs,
Myrna

More fall thank you cards re Jim's passing



Hi,
I am hoping these fall thank you cards will convey my thankfulness to the staff where Jim spent the last five years.  They loved him and he loved them.  They were very good to him.  These will accompany some treats for all the three shifts.
I love fall and all the bright colors and am sorry the time for all these gorgeous colorful leaves is almost over.

Thank you cards. (Warning: Picture heavy)







These are a few of the cards I made to say thank you to people who contributed gifts when my husband passed away last month.  Some of them are a little hard to see the patterned paper on but you get the idea.  The sentiments are made with fun foam.

Grandsons 22nd birthday


Hi,
Just a quick and easy birthday card thanks to Shirley @ https://shirleystemplates.blogspot.com/2015/06/freebie-happy-birthday-card.html
I just love using Shirley's files.  They cut so clean and are so easy to use.  She has saved my bacon on many occasions. 
This card didn't photograph too well but the base is a hot yellow with royal blue front.  The sentiment on the inside came from the internet. 
Hugs,
Myrna

Birthday card, driving Miss Jaylee


 Hi, 
This card was made for a friends daughter-in-law to be. 
The birthday party collected money for driving lessons for Jaylee.  It will make life so much easier for her to get around to her jobs. 
This was sort of a play on the movie "Driving Miss Daisy".
Such a lot of fun to make this card.
Hugs,
Myrna

Screen divider with lots of flowers


Hi,
I just love the screen divider card base.
 Since this is a May birthday I thought some bright flowers would be pretty.  The birthday poem was one I found on the internet.

Sympathy Card with poppy

Hi,
I needed a sympathy card and these beautiful poppies were on my work table and they kept catching my eye.  Yes, I know the card is bright but I wanted to celebrate this ladies life as she was someone who made friends wherever she went.  I did not know her personally but I do know her daughter and son-in-law.  The sentiment inside said, "Just remember she is now a beautiful flower in Gods garden." 
The folder is Brocade Window by Cuttlebug.  There are two stems of poppies and I pop dotted them to stand out.
Hugs,
Myrna

Thank you files from Bird
Hi,
 Just a few cards I have made and not blogged.  I think most of them
are self explanatory.  However, if you have questions I will be happy
to answer them if I can.                                                                       
Hugs,

St. Patrick Day


Hi,
Such a fun little card to make.  I only make one every year for my daughter.
The little faces came from LOVESVG.COM and at this time I cannot remember where the sentiment came from.
Hugs,

Thank you cards Warning: picture heavy







Hi,
Apparently even though I didn't think I was making cards I did quite a few but never blogged so forgive me if I have a ton of cards to post.  This is the way I keep track down the line of what I have done.  I won't go into too many descriptions but if anyone has questions I will be happy to answer.
Card one and two are made with gift wrap from some of my Christmas presents.  The sentiment is raised by using fun foam on one and just several layers on the other.
Card three is a shaker card.
Card four is just scraps from Christmas cards.
Card five is a file from Birds blog.
Card six is my take on That folder that was making the rounds not long ago and is/was very, very popular but also expensive as there were several folders with different backgrounds and I thought I could duplicate it fairly close with my own folders.
Card seven is a thank you to my surgeon and anesthesiologist who did my pacemaker in January.
That's it for now but sorry there will be several more posts like this.
Hugs,
Myrna

Fabric for dimension Two Thank you cards


Hi,
These are two more cards made from Karens inspiration.  Thank you Karen.
 Karen @ https://www.allfreepapercrafts.com/Card-Making/How-to-Use-Fabric-for-Beauty-and-Dimension-on-Handmade-Cards.  The material is some I have had for years and didn't know what to do with it.  I used stickles to outline the flowers. I love this simple but gorgeous technique.
Hugs,

Fabric for dimension birthday card.

Hi,
This is one of many cards in my camera. The idea came from Karen @ https://www.allfreepapercrafts.com/Card-Making/How-to-Use-Fabric-for-Beauty-and-Dimension-on-Handmade-Cards and I would like to say thank you to her for helping me get started on my cards again.
  I would like to post all the cards I have done so I have a place to look back on.  However, I do believe there are around 50 and I can't believe I have done that many as I had a real block there for awhile.  My problem is:  if I post that many please tell me how to do it without getting all the wonderful bloggers mad at me for hogging so much space. 
I also want to be able to give credit to the wonderful girls that took the time to share their free cutting files and ideas.  That is if I can remember them after all this time.
I would be grateful for any tips on this particular problem.
Hugs,
Myrna
