My Card Sets

I made these card sets this past week. They are 6 cards with envelopes and different sentiments. I've left the inside blank so they can be used as needed. This set I gave to my stepdaughter Tracey for Mother's Day

this set was won by a Sorority Sister

this set went to Rachel, my future daughter in law

I haven't decided about this one yet, it will probably be a gift for someone special.

A Mother's Day Shadow Box

birthday flowers

Here's a birthday card for a friend of mine. The rose stamp is from Hero Arts. I colored the image with pencil crayons then used OMS. I'm entering this at Easy Craft Project for their Spring challenge and at Stamp Something for their Birthday celebratoin! Stamp Something is not only celebrating their 100th challenge but their 2nd birthday too! So Happy Birthday to you!

A Framed Rose

I'm very happy how this card turned out. The little rose is a stamp from Hero Arts and the Happy Birthday stamp is part of a set from KCompany. I'm entering this card into 2 challenges: Friday Sketchers for the sketch and The Play Date Cafe for the color challenge using black, white, gray and pink.

my matchbook

I made this matchbook for a challenge over at Stamp TV and because it has pretty spring flowers I thought I'd enter it at Kaboodle Doodle for their Celebrate Spring challenge.

Mother's Day Easel Cards

hi there, so here are the easel cards I was talking about in my last post. Yes, I did make a lot of them, but I have a lot of beautiful women in my life and I like to thank them at this time of year and let them know that they mean alot to me. With each photo I will list where I got the darling digi images. I hope you have a chance to visit these ladies blogs, they are all wonderful, thanks! hugs, Valerie

if anyone knows who the cornflower digi belongs to, please let me know so I can give credit. I have looked all through my folders to no avail. I can't even find the digi image, LOL! The rose is from Birds Blog and the little girl from Cute Daisy May (now Whoopsie Daisy)
