Thank You Cards











Here are just some of the cards that I have been working on. They are "thank you" cards that I am making for our guest singers and such, that will be at our church on our 35th Anniversary Sunday. I think they all have turned out really great so far. Just a few more to do and then moving on to something else. I love making cards, it is so fun and so rewarding.

My Favorite Summer Flower

This is my Stargazer Lilies that bloom every summer for me! I love them and look forward to them each year. They grow from a bulb and bloom about 2-3 weeks after the 4th of July. They have a very strong fragrance. I picked one once and brought it in the house, boy was that a mistake. I sneezed and sneezed and sneezed until I took it back outside. The one year I had over 90 blooms between the 3 stalks. God makes such amazing things for us to see His glory, everywhere. Thank You Lord!

A 4 wheeling fun Birthday Card!


This card was for my nephew who loves to go 4 wheeling in the mountains. By the time he gets back he is covered in mud, so that is why I made him look a little dirty! I think he trys to hit every mud puddle possible. :-)

Birthday Card


This was a birthday card for my husbands grandma who has vision problems due to diabetes. She can see shadows and some colors. So I made her a card that she could feel and identify it with just touch. Yes, it is similar to the one I made that was a pivot card, for my neice. The major difference is of course the paper and that I mounted the flower on a card so that she could open it the normal way without confusion.

Together Forever!


This is an anniversary card for my in-laws 42nd. Anniversary.

Striking a Cord of a Birthday Card!


This card was made for my nephew who loves to play his guitar and sing for his church. So I thought that it was appropriate to give him a card that reflected his love for music.

Birthday Card!







This Birthday card if for my niece. I love how it opens up on a brad. This was my first time using "Stickles". Now I have a problem, I love sparkles...and now I am hooked! Love them! I hope you enjoy what you see.

A few more Father's day cards!






Here is the final 3 of the Father's day cards that I made! Now I have to make a baby card and a Birthday card. Then we will be celebrating the 4th of July at our home with everyone coming and having a picnic. Directly across from our home on the week of the 4th is a large carnival. Then on the 4th the town puts off fireworks right across the street from our home...So we get front row seats to the "Awesome" fireworks display! So I am going to be busy, busy, busy, for the next couple of weeks! FUN! Either way, enjoy my cards!

Star Father's Day Cards

This was my first time making the "Stair Step" card. It was fun. I will be definitely doing this again.








I had a lot of fun doing these...notice that they all have a star on them? I just love the star from the Potpourri Basket Cricut Cartridge. I still have to make 2 more cards for my Father in law, and my dear hubby, which will make a grand total of 6 cards for Fathers day. As you can tell I am also enjoying the patriotic theme. I hope you like it!

This is a card I did for a very special couple, who has been battling cancer and just needs a little bit of encouragement. I got the idea from a card magazine and ran with it with my own interpretation. I think it turned out really nice!
