Make Merry!

Christmas cards...hard to believe, but I am again in the time that if I dont start now then I wont have enough cards ready for the rush of the season. It is amazing how time really does fly. Here I used a non-traditional yellow as the backdrop. The stamp set is Berry Christmas from Stampin Up. The patterned paper was created using the poinsettia stamp and stamping with first and second generation images.

Center Step Again!

June is the month for both my parents and my husband's parent's anniversary. They are only a week apart so I made another Center Step card. This time I had some inspiration from Mommacharles at Splitcoast Stampers. The embossing and laced punched out square on the inspiration card started my thinking. At first I had a bird on my card also, but with the saying I removed the bird and put on two butterflies. In my previous post I have listed the link for how to make this card.

Center Step Card - Anniversary

The ability to remember dates for birthdays, anniversaries, etc must be genetically linked. I am terrible at it and earlier today my husband reminded me that today is my parents anniversary. How many years have they been married, you might ask. Well, lets see... I think maybe married in 1971...maybe it was 72'. I hope it is not 71'...that would make 40 years married and aren't you supposed to do something for a 40 year anniversary. Something like a dinner or such. Anyway, I can make a card so I went to Splitcoaststampers to look up an interesting card tutorial I had seen earlier. You can find it here: Splitcoaststampers.com

I thought it turned out pretty cute and was fairly easy to make. Here are the pictures:
