This a card I made for my daughter, Sherry's birthday this month.  I know she will like it, she likes everyting I do. 
It is a tea bag fold called Dahlia flower.  This is a link to the video

Ther are a couple of boo-boos, but the stripes had me dizzy, I promise it will be better next time.  I have always liked to do tea bag folding.

Taking a few days off from playing with paper and making cards.   Need, no, I want to finish a book I am reading.   A very good book that has taken me too long to read.   It is longer than most of my cozy mysteries, but a page turned, none the less. 
Maybe I can get some practicing in on my embossing technique.  Now I am off to shower and then read, while hubby is at the ranch hunting.

This a card I made for Travis Lutz in Charleston, WV.   He has cancer and is not doing well.  It is also my first attempt at embossing.  
A card made for Mary Farrington in the USA-CardMaking group.   Swap is for 3/2012 Anything Goes. Hope she likes it.

Two cards I rec'd yesterday.  Both frm the Card Craft group. The top card is from Anne Wittman and the bottom card is from Elizabeth Cooper.  They both were swap cards.  Aren't they nice!!

My first RAK (Random Act of Kindness)  and it is from Lynn Eagan in Colorado Springs, CO.  On the inside it says "May the Luck of the Irish Be Yours Today,  Happy St. Patrick's Day.   3/2012
Such a lovely card, and many thanks to Lynn for her kindness.

Just was looking at my cards that I have sent out.. Think I need another rubber stamp.  The wheat stamp is over done, for sure. 
This is a card I made to day for Marianne Skriver in Denmark for the World Wide Paper Crafters.  It was a Sponging - a - Layer trchnique, not sure my card meets the requirements.  It was for the March Swap. 
I think I have lost my inspiration lately.  And I over loaded my swaps this month.  Think I'll take a break in April.  
Another really pretty card, this one is from Karen Rupert.  The group is USA-CardMaking and the swap is Anything Goes - a free style card.  Date 3/2012.

This a card I rec'd today from Judy Parr in Wales, for our CardMaking group.  It is the Sketch Technique for March, 2012.    Very lovely and well done.  It only took 5 days to get here.  Amazing! 
Not to happy with this one.  But it is what it is.  This is a swap card for the cardmaking group I belong to.  Judy Parr was the host and designed the technique for this one.  It is for March 2012 and this one goes to Gabby Kime in Jackson, MI.   Hope she likes it and can over look the flaws.
