Mom's Birthday (posthumously)

Mom would've turned 71 yesterday. It's so hard to believe it's been 3 years since she passed. The new and growing challenges with my Dad, really makes me wish that Mom was here. She was much better at dealing with him than I am. (I guess that's what 40+ years of marriage does) Not enough ime to stamp much this past weekend. I will share my newest card soon (tomorrow). ;-)

April 2012 Cards

 These first 2 cards are made with stamps through a club.  Each week I get a new one.

Both are made using retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

 This image was drawn by a stamping friend I met through SCS, Nan.

I've had it for a long while, and decided to finally try it!!

(I was in a watercoloring mood, 

which you may notice since 4 of the 5 cards here are watercolored)

 I try to keep cards on hand.  It seems alot harder to make them "on demand"

One type I decided I needed a few more of, is cards for kids... viola... a rocket card

THANKS so much for stopping by.

 These funny ladies are a stamp I recently acquired.

This is a digital image i printed a long while back,

I created it for a SCS Sketch Challenge

 I made this card at our annual MINGLE stamping weekend

It was for a challenge to use a FAUX technique
