Sympathy is never easy to express but I feel that it is always nice to receive a card to help you feel a little better during those difficult times.  I coloured this simple flower in a stained glass window with my prisma pencils and gamsol. I stamped a simple "Peace" on the front.

Nostalgia

I stamped this card in just plain black ink on white cardstock to be reminiscent of the years gone by. I used black cardstock for the card with black plaid decorative paper for the background. To add a little punch of colour, I used a bright cherry red cardstock as a border for the stamped image. It is hard to find stamps that are "male" oriented but this one fit the bill.

Is it a Boy or Is it a Girl?

It appears to be that time in my life when either there are many younger co-workers having babies or my eldest daughter's friends are having babies. So to celebrate such a momentous event in their lives, I have made this card to celebrate the announcement of their pregnancy. I just love this Bella stamp with the "baby bump belly". Such a beautiful time in a women's life.

My First Post

This is my first post to my blog. I have posted my favourite card which I used for my sister-in-law's anniversary. I just fell in love with the paper when I first saw it. I used a versa mark pen to colour in the rings and then embossed the rings in silver. Overall, my first "truly my own" card.
