Card I made for Jo Goodwin, our neighbor that fell in her apt last week and broke her hip.  She is 88 years old and is recuperating in a nursing/rehab center.   She will be there at least 6 to 8 weeks.  I am worried about her  and she is more than depressed.  She wants to walk again and DRIVE.  3/21/2012

This is a card from Lucy Colaco in India.  Never had a card from India before.  The swap is Oriental Flowers and the group is Paper Craft, I rec'd it yesterday - 3/30/2012,  It is layered and has stickers on it.   Lovely card.  Her blog is: cardsnmorelucy.blogspot.com 

Just had to add this adorable picture of Xavier Mason Harris.  He is always smiling.  He is my beautiful little (almost) 10 month old great grandchild.  His mother is Sarah and father is Dom. Sarah's Mom is my daughter Sherry.  His sister is Ashlynn and he loves his Sissy.
In this pix, he is in car seat in his Uncle Brent's car headed out to dinner and maybe some shopping.  Have not heard today what they did do last night.  

I thought I had rec'd all my swaps for March, but alas here is one frm Ana Stela from Brazil.  This is for the Sponge-a-Layer Swap on World Wide Paper group.   Rec'd 3/29/2012. 
A really very nice card.  Thank you, Ana 

Happy Birthday, Sarah.  WIsh I could be there for yours and Ashlynn's birthday.  Love you, Grandma Margie

Happy 15th Birthday, Ashlynn.   Love you, Grandma Margie   4/2012   Hummingbirds
A color plate illustration from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (1899), showing a variety of hummingbirds.
I used  distress ink pad and distressed the edges.   Still learning the process. 

Trish Davey on Card Crafts did a Iris Fold tutorial. I asked for the technique and she so graceouly did it. And then send me the card.  I rec'd the card on March 26, 2012.  I knew she did it with ribbon, but was totally surprised that the ribbon did not make it too thick.  I must try this soon.

This card went to Marge Jansen. She is elderly and not doing very well.

Slightly ascue in the scanner, but it is, what it is.   This a tea bag folded card, the design is a Dahlia flower. 
  

Birthday card for Garner's Uncle.    It was from a themed swap technique. Party was the 3/24. 

Trish Davey's requested cards to be sent to Ruth Ann King.  She is ill and having a tough time.  I made a Dahlia flowered card, much like the one previous.   I did forget to scan it.  It was not the best.  

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.
