Simple Yet Elegant

This is one of the many thank you cards I had to make for my son graduation. I found this paper packet at Hobby Lobby and I just knew I had to something with it. I pulled out three different sheet of paper and just went to work. This was actually made from the scrap that I had left over from the card in the previous post. So I hope you like just as much as I do. So until next time....

Have a Scrappy Day!!

Happy Birthday

I tried to show the rock candy I used on the fleur de lis but it was a hard to photograph.

I used some pleated ribbon and touch of bling which I love.

It is someone real special to me birthday coming up real soon and I wanted to make them an extra special card. (It is a surprise so... shh) I use a few of my favorite techniques and pulled out all the stop for this. I have to say, it may be on top of my favorite list for right now. This is my 2nd attempt at the trifold shutter card and I think I really getting the hang of it. I love trying different techniques. So leave me a comment and let me know what you think. So until next time...

Have a Scrappy Day!!

Creole Queen

Here is a layout, I did after a trip to New Orleans. My cousin was in town from Las Vegas and since it was her birthday weekend, we planned a dinner cruise party. We had a blast. I must admit that the food was okay but the jazz and dancing made up for it. It was a great time of fellowship with family and friends. So until next time...

So here is my first easel card. I hope you enjoy. It is a little on the simple side (for me) but. I think it was pretty good to be my first. So until next time....

"Bitter Sweet"

My son graduated on this past monday. Yeah!!! It is great that his has complete the this phase of his life but it sad for me as mother to see my first born actually grow up. Where did the time go? It seem like it pasted by so fast. I am happy yet a bit afraid of what comes next for him. As a parent you always want your children to have the best and be the best. And sometimes they might not do everything or always take the advice that you give them but as I go on this week, I realized that I have to "Let Go and Let GOD". I know that we have raised him up to be a great young man and rooted him in Word of Lord and with that I am going to stand on the Word of GOD and trust and believe that "All will be Well" in Jesus Name.

So Until Next Time ....

Have a Scrappy Day
