birthday cards
Thanx to Carole from CST(Canadian Stampers Talk) and Melanie aka BatGirl(from SplitCoastStampers) for these great cards
i finally finished
After taking a class at Hamels two years ago, I got this teeny tiny stitchery done over the weekend. Now to figure out what to do with it lol! And yes, I should have ironed it before I took the picture lol!
i love this technique
Take a cuttlebug folder, smear ink on the inside so when you emboss, the paper is inked. This is what I did for this card and I love the effect
happy birthday to ME!
Today is my 35th birthday. Didn't turn out like Jim and I had planned. As some of you know, I ended up having surgery(yes again!) on Thursday and we had to cancel a very long planned trip to Hawaii *sob*. Good news, we were able to reschedule the trip(yay!) and my surgery should be the end of my horribly long saga of health issuses!
My dear friendCindy made me this fantastic bag. I already have it loaded up with my embroidery projects. Thanx again Cindy!!
