RAK's

I received two beautiful RAK's in the mail. This one is from Tina Warnick from the Splitcoaststampers website that I love. The butterfly even has glitter on it. Even though you can't see it very well... I can. And it's gorgeous!

This gorgeous card is from Donna Tonsil of all4stampswaps. I LOVE black and white cards!! so simple, yet so sophisticated. I absolutely adore the black and white brads.

Thanks for thinking of me ladies!!!

Facebook Secret Sister Card Kit Swap

I love this!!! I joined this Facebook Secret Sister Card Kit Swap. What we do is you get a "secret sister". Each month, shipped by the 5th of each month, you send her

Each kit must contain:
(1) full size card base (folded any way you want)
(2) 6 x 6 Decorative papers
(2) foot of ribbon or fiber
(2) different embellishments
(2) main images, stamped with StazOn - the images must be the same. You may include more but that is optional. All elements of the kit must be used on at least one card (front or full or ATC) In other words. If you just make one card, you must use some of both decorative papers, ribbon at least two embellishment and the image.

Two images are given just in case you mess up the first. You can add your own stuff too if you want, but you have to use all of the kit stuff, even if it is just a small circle of the decorative paper (for example).

The images, cardstock and DSP must be SU. The embellishments can be anything you want. The images, cardstock and DSP does not have to be current so you can use up some of the old stuff you have and get out some of your stamps.

So here is the kit that I received and the card that I made from it. It is alot harder than you think.

I received an RAK today from Dawnmarie Bleedlove - SCS

How beautiful is this? I came home today and there was this terrific RAK waiting for me in the mailbox!!! I LOVE Butterflies!!!!

thank you so much Dawnmarie!!!

My friend April

My friend April made this. Her mom passed away about a month ago. I sent her a card, then she sends me another card. HAHAHAH... we can keep going back and forth! She's a good friend.

Retired Little Layers from SU.

I love ladybugs and I have an "Insect swap" to do on Splitcoaststampers. This is the card I made for it. I bought a Big Shot when I heard that this is one of the latest and greatest stamping tools to have, and I can't live without it now. I absolutely love it.

I absolutely LOVE the SU nature and flower sets. This is a new set for me, I only have this one and my hostess sets that are new. But that is fine, at least I do have a couple of sets to use.

I also used the retired Spring Pansy set to go with it. Looks much better in person with the glitter on the faces of the pansies.
