Two More

Today's cards were also created by others.  The card on the left is from my daughter.  Love the background print and the little birds are adorable.  The card on the right is from my friend, Cherie.  She used a stamp set by My Favorite Things and created a medicine cabinet using dies and vellum.  It even  has a little door knob. 

As I said yesterday, I am truly blessed to have such thoughtful and caring family and friends.  I received many gifts, phone calls and emails.  I appreciate all of them.  John especially appreciated  Kathy W's meals.  He said that not only were they delicious, but she saved him from cooking or getting carry out!  Again, thank you to all.  Have a great day!

Cards Received

Two weeks ago I had my surgery and I am doing really well.  Since then I have received many get well wishes.  All are very much appreciated.  Today's post are two of those cards:  The pretty card on the left is from my friend, Nancy.  The pretty card on the right is from my friend, Paula.  They both know me well and know that Stampin' Up's Soft Sky  and Pool Party are two of my favorite colors. Both cards were created using Stampin' Up supplies.  Thank you both very much.  I look at the cards on the counter and they remind me  how blessed I am to have dear friends and family.  Have a great day!

Just A Note

Today's card was also created using images from Clearly Besotted's Countryside Cuties stamp set.  The checked paper is from Stampin' Up's Gingham Gala 6x6 Paper Pack.  I used the Grapefruit Grove gingham paper and Grapefruit Grove cardstock as a layer.  The color makes for a very cheerful Spring card and we need Spring to get here soon!  Have a great day and stay warm!

Garden Bench

I know Spring is just around the corner and maybe if I make a few more Spring-like cards, it really will be here!  Today's card was created using the Countryside Cuties stamp set by Your Next Stamp.  The images were colored with alcohol markers.  For the blue area behind the bench I used distress ink and a sponge.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted's Scrumptious Script stamp set.  And the item that was the perfect and pretty finishing touch is the Old Olive Linen Thread from Stampin' Up! It is an item in the Occasions Catalog and I am going to stock up on it.  It is the same touch and feel as the Linen Thread that has been in the Stampin' Up Annual Catalog ever since I can remember.  Have a great weekend!
