Little birthday easel card

Hi
This is a cute little 4"x4" easel card from freecardkits.com.
I know this is cheating a bit but I needed something to get the juices flowing and it was so easy to print off the card and envelope and then just add a bit of bling to it. I fussy cut the vase and flowers, mod podged them and sprayed with Dazzling Diamonds glimmer mist. Added a little flower and diamond centres and pop dotted everything to give it dimension. If you click on the picture you can see the paper much better.
I think it did start things moving as I have another larger card on my desk just waiting for a couple more additions and it's done.
Have a Blessed day.

Sympathy Card

Hi
When I said I would be back in May I didn't think my first card would be a sympathy card. As we all know sympathy cards are so hard to do.
My cousin passed away and she was only 52 leaving behind 2 young children, the youngest being only 16 so this was a really hard card for me to make.
I used cream cardstock as a base. Then a lovely shiny brown and another cream layer. These all were run through the Cuttlebug. The stained glass picture was on the net so I printed it on photo paper. These are all Cuttlebug folders and die cuts.
Have a Blessed day.

Second Post today-what's in your inbox

Hi
This is my Shadow. I mean that literally. Wherever I am, she is. This is a pic of part of my desk. She has her own little box behind my screen so she can look out the window, when she isn't sitting in the inbox. You can see part of her white box to the left of the speaker. There is a curtain as well but she needed it moved to be able to look out.lol She will soon be 20 years old and she is getting frail as only an old lady can be. She used to be pure black with not a trace of white except for 3 little hairs on her neck. Now she has a huge white strip down her tail, much like a little skunk and lots of white all through her coat. If you click on the pic you can see a little bit of her striped tail. This pic was taken at night so the view from her window is dark.
So thanks for stopping by even though there are no cards. I am hoping soon to have a couple to post.
Have a Blessed day.

What a difference a day makes

Hi
Well as you can see it has been 24 hours since I posted this same tree. So true the saying, "what a difference a day makes". We had a warm afternoon and a lot of the snow melted away but there is still lots on the lawns, etc.
Have a Blessed day.

Taking a bit of time out

Hi
I am so grateful to my followers. I have a lot going on right now and just wanted to tell you that I am going to be taking a bit of a break from blogging.
I so hope you will all come back in a couple of weeks or perhaps the beginning of May. Thank you all for understanding.
See you in May.
Have a Blessed day.

Shaped cherry blossom card

Hi
I just had to try a shaped card and my friend Gail sent me a lovely site with a shaped card svg http://brittaswiderski.com/. I really like the cherry blossoms and branch from SVGcuts. I made a card with the branch two posts ago. My friend in South Korea had wanted to see the cherry blossoms in Japan this year while they were close but with the tsunami etc. they didn't feel they should go. Hope she likes my little bit of Japan from Canada.
Have a Blessed day.
