A 60th B'day card for a friend!

Here is a fold card I tried from Michelle Giraud's blog (sorry I forgot your blog name!),her's was so nice.I wanted something different,bright and cheery. I don't like the outcome of it too much,but I worked so hard on it,so i'm going to give it to her anyways. They are having a 60's party for her this saturday and we're getting dressed up so it'll be fun i'm sure. Just to tell you how fabulous this lady is,she has everything and doesn't want any presents.So instead of gifts,we we're asked to bring food items for our local food bank. She's an awesome lady and we love her so much!!! I'll have to show you pics next week!!

Have a warm day!! Diane

Thank You card for my travel agent!!!

This is a card I made for our travel agent.She always goes the extra mile for us to make sure it's the type of resort we will be happy with.

Sorry the pic doesn't give the card much justice,I took it at night because I wanted to post this tonight,cause tomorrow I am going to make cards ALL DAY, with my Niece Shannon or aka tyrymom. I'll be over at her place bright and early and now she'll have lots to post I'm sure. Inside the card I put of pic of us,

Janice (my travel agent) will be

all tickled pink!!!

Have a great day everyone cause I know we will!!!! I forgot to mention,the butterfly at the top is made of seashells and at the bottom some of the shells had tiny holes,so I put a flower brad into them.It's too bad it's not a great pic,also have stickles there that looks like sand.

Bees Needed!!!

Hello everyone, Debbie at studiobeecreations is asking for 2 bee images from everyone so she can make and send cards to the soldiers. I thought I would also make a card ,it's pretty simple but I didn't want to make a valentine card cause by the time she gets it Valentine will be done and over with. Anyway if anyone is interested she even has candy for this,so go check it out and tell her I sent you. Let's help her out here,it's for a wonderful cause!! Have a great monday!!!

Hi everyone,this is one of the High Hopes stamp I got with my b'day money,I sound just like a kid!

Valentine card & candy box!!

I made a card for my DH while he's away,cause it's so hard when he's at home.He works from home so it's hard to hide anything from him.Since he's gone til sunday,what better time to do this,right. So the 1st pic is the card and the side view of the box,and the 2nd pic is the top view of the box. I'm sure he'll like the box more than the card cause there will be treats in it!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

Well I sure got spoiled for my b'day! The card was from Shannon,tyrymom with some $$$ I will be spending at our local scrapbook store,the 2nd pic is $$$ my hunny had given me so I spent it all at the scrapbooking store,she had High Hopes stamps so I got a few of those and other stamps,and the 3rd pic is 2 beautiful keepsakes my sister got me,she always finds the most heartfelt keepsakes. She brings teard to my eyes everytime!! And a candle and Toblerone from one of my brothers and his boys,they are too sweet!

Shannon,your card is adorable!!!

Live,Love,Eat chocolate!!!

Let's try this challenge again,lol!!! I hope it will pass the test. Since Valentine's just around the corner,I used her Sassy 'n Sweet Stamps of Chocolates...I think it turned out pretty nice. But that's my opinion,let me

Any suggestions is great for a beginner like me.
