Happy Mother's Day

Here is the card I made with my 3D flower that I wanted to do the tutorial on...but since Kim's flowers on the Club Anya blog look better I will just show you my card instead. Although I will say my card is flat enough to be mailed with regular postage and requires no drying time because I used a glue dot instead of wet glue to hold the flower center...wink wink nudge nudge. Ok I digress. Here again I have used that free American Crafts paper and the .99 cent Making Memories trim. Isn't it so cute...those are little crotchet butterflies. I am telling you my eyes bugged out of my head when I saw that you got 5 different trims for only .99 cents. I bought all the packs they had (only 3) but still!!! What a great deal.

Sharing in Your Sorrow

This is another request card for my mom. Her best friend Lily's mother passed away. The wake was a Budhist ceremony and the family signed a mother's day card I made and placed it in the coffin with Lily's mother with her other things for her to have in the afterlife. I thought that was really beautiful.

This is another card made with the free paper and .99 cent goodies I got on National Scrapbooking Day! I wish I had picked up a few more of those glitter papers...

PS- please forgive my pictures lately...there is something funky going on with my camera where it will not focus close-up no matter what I try to do. I think it fell of my bed at one point, may need to take it to the doctor.
