Tulips and a RAK

Here's a quick one that I put together for a special someone who's in the tulip business. I used patterned paper from a retired collection by SU called Bali Breeze and Cameo Coral as an accent color. The "Terrific Tulips" are stamped out with Certainly Celery and Apricot Appeal. To finish it off, I decided to add a few butterflies that I punched out with my Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

And check this out!
My friend Gloria sent me this "RAK" the other day. Isn't it GORGEOUS?!

(BTW - RAK means Randon Act of Kindness)

She used the Geisha Anya image and a double happiness symbol. It's been a very emotional week in my house and she sent me this to cheer me up. Thanks Gloria - you totally made my day!
Hugs,

I feel the love...

Tonight I wanted to share some of the cards that I have received for my Aunt. It looks like your prayers and warm thoughts are working, because my Aunt was taken off all of the machines today and was wide awake! Everyone was pleasantly surprised by this recent turn of events. Tomorrow she is going to be transferred to the Kessler Institute where her physical therapy and rehabilitation can begin! This is the same place where Christopher Reeve went after his accident. She's been there twice before and is looking forward to making progress and gaining her strength back again.

Here are some of the beautiful cards for Joan

The photograph on this card was actually taken by the gal who made the card! Amazing isn't it?!

This beauty was made by Sankari. She even sent a care package along for me and my kids! Such an amazing lady - you can check out her blog here

"Sankari's Sunshine Corner"
Thank you so much ladies! Your cards are beautiful and will be loved by my Aunt!
Big hugs,

Wanted to share...

some cards that were made by other people. The first one was submitted for my last sketch challenge by Trish over at Hand full of Stamps. I love the color combo that she used.

The second card was made by my super talented friend, Wanda. She's in my swap group that meets once a month and always has a fun card to share with everyone.

The bird "swings" open to show the greeting. Too cute!

Here kitty, kitty...

I'm in a stamp club that meets once a month for a swap and this is one of the cards I received from one of the many talented ladies in our group. Isn't this card adorable?! She used the SU set "Here kitty, kitty" and I absolutely LOVE how she wrapped the yarn around the cut out image of the cat. Great job Katrina! Can't wait to see what you come up with for next month - no pressure right??
