This is a very simple card.  Sometimes simple is best.  As Fall is coming faster than we really want it to come, I enjoy doing cards with leaves and wreaths. This card looks better in person and seems to have more life.

I had fun with this card.  Again I used a set from Flourishes.org that I used previously.  The stamps in this set are very feminine and most of the cards I send out go to females.   I tinted the image and also tinted around the edges of the white Spellbinders.  Don't we all want to be a princess for a day -- at least?

I tried a technique I saw on Gina K Designs last week. After stamping the design with an embossing pad and using clear embossing powder, you cover the embossed area with the ink of your choice.  It was a fun project and I will certainly do it again.  I didn't put any message on the front, as the card could be used for several things.  It's a nice fall look.

Here's my second digi attempt.  Love this nurse, complete with blue sparkle on her eye lids.  Wouldn't you love to have her as your nurse?

I wanted to try digi stamping, but I wasn't sure how it worked.  So here is one of my first efforts,  If you haven't tried it, it's like downloading clip art and having  fun with it.  This is just a sweet little girl wishing someone a Happy Birthday!  I just popped her up a bit so she stands out.

At some time in our life, don't we have a pet or a special toy that we just love that warms our heart?  Of course, friends are the best to warm our hearts.  Magnolia has her little puppy to warm her heart.    Have a good day to all those who read my blog.  You are good friends.

Once again I have done something with lavender.  But with orchids you do want to at least start out with lavender.  Another lovely stamp set from Flourishes.org.  I have mixed the stamp with StampinUp paper and nestabilities.  I also put a few dots of  yellow sparkle in the center of each flower.

This was a very inexpensive stamp which I purchased last year but never used.  Becoming a new great grandmother prompted me to get this stamp out and make this simple little card.

This is another stamp from the Flourishes.org set I used last week.  It is such a delicate stamp just fit for a princess.  Using StampinUp paper, it creates a really sweet card.
