Thanks

This is a thank you card that I made with some of the new toys I received from my sister in law, who is here visiting from the Netherlands. Her and my other sister in law, know how much I love to make cards, that she brought over a whole bunch of stuff for me to play with, 3d, 3d pyramid and parchment stuff. So I made this card using one of the images to say thanks for the lovely gift.
I won't be here again probably until next week sometime as the visitors are here for a week only as this is their second stop on wonderful trip. They started off in Miami to take a cruise to Jamaica and Barbados, now they are here and after they leave here they will be traveling to Iceland for a week before flying home.

Valentine for a baby

I was asked by a resident at the condo where I work If I could do a valentine for his grand daughter who is only a few weeks old. So this is the results of that request. I used the sketch from Stamping 411 this week, and the technique spotlight from Just Us Girls Challenge. I really like the way it turned out, and oh the challenge for the Friday Mashup is Valentine's day. So how about that 3 challenges in one card. Not something I'm known for that's for sure.

They will here only for a week, as they are in Miami boarding a ship to Barbados and Jamaica right now and then will be here for a week, then flying to meet up with their other son in Iceland which is where he will be going to work after he's finished in Nigeria which he's there right now. So they are busy travelers. It will be nice to see them as I've not seen them in a number of years, and my husband hasn't seen his brother in almost 6 years.
Anyway here is a card I've made with some of the new stuff out of the Occasions Mini Catalogue. If you wish a copy let me know and I'll send it to you.
