Laughing Giraffes

This is a really fun little image this week from Designed 2 Delight. I got the sentiment from TLC Creations, which is one of my favorite digi image sites.

Beautiful Blessing card

This week's image is the freebie from Designed 2 Delight. It is for Breast Cancer Awareness month and is a lovely image!

The Earth Laughs in Flowers

I love this image from Designed 2 Delight. It is call Willow Whimsy, but the sentiment is the special part of the card. The earth at my house is laughing purple irises right now. Quite a treat to go with the gorgeous fall weather we are having.

Two Apples card

This is this week's entry to the Designed 2 Delight Challenge. I layered the apples on designer paper from TLC Creations.

World Cardmaking Day two days late!

My friend, Barbara, is here visiting this week and we did what we should to celebrate the day. We made cards all day! Here are a couple of our cards. The first is an image from Squigglefly and is one of my all time favorites. I used the Polished Stone tech with an image from Hero Arts on the second. Barbara used a retired SU image on her first. I love the little image from Sarah Kay she used on the second. She has a real talent for finishing off her cards with punches, flowers and pearls.

Sympathy card

This week's challenge over at Designed 2 Delight uses shamrock blooms. I have shamrocks all over my house and outside so they are one of my favorites. The sentiment is perfect for a sympathy card. I made the background using the Fossil Stone technique, the punch is from Martha Stewart and everything else is Stampin Up.

Glowing Oil Pastels

This is for Try that technique Thursday challenge over at TJ. I almost always start with an image and then build the card around it. The oil pastels on the butterfly blend easily and give a nice "glow" to the image. Thank goodness for techniques that allow us t0 instantly have a colored background that exactly matches the image. In this case I used Fossil Stone, which for now is my new favorite technique.
