Oh, I also wanted to show an update of my two beautiful daughters. I'll bet you can't tell how proud of them I am. I am also pretty proud of me as I have lost 46 pounds and am still going.
Let me show you some of the cards I've been making. I'm very much a newbie at this, so I realize that I have a great deal to learn...but I'm having fun!!
This card was made for a secret pal that I am exchanging with through the summer.
Yep - another card going to my secret pal.
Okay, this one is definitely not my favorite, but I was playing around with some new techniques! It will probably go to my secret pal too.
A graduation card for my niece. Somebody gave me the idea of using her announcement as part of the card.
I totally took this idea from a book, can't remember which one. Don't know if you can tell, but there is vellum over the fish to look like a glass fish bowl. My calligraphy is pretty bad on this card -- but I'm working on it.
This card was made for my Mother-In-Law for Mother's Day. She loved it!
Here is another pop-up card that I made for a card swap. Can't remember which group.
Now this was a really fun card that I made for my secret pal. It closes into a little book that is tied with a ribbon.
Here is the front of the book/card.
Okay, this one is kind of silly -- but I had fun making it.
Yep, this is similar to the one above, but different. I made this for my dear friend's birthday.
