Heartfelt Thanks

Hi Friends!

I have two thank you cards to share today.  I have two special friends who gave me beautiful gifts recently and I'd like to formally thank them.  Plus, it gives me a reason to make a card...not that I need one, right?

These were made with Stampin Up cardstock as base and layer 1.  Layer 1 is from the In Colors.  The designer paper is from a paper pad that I purchased at Big Lots for FIFTY CENTS!!  The sentiment and ink is Stampin Up.  One of the scalloped circles is 2" the other is 2 1/2".  I used stickles to add some interest.  I have always wanted to fill up an entire layer with Stickles.  Hmm...I wonder how ridiculous that would look.  I love stickles.

Hope you love

I smeared the ink a little on this one...but I promised to always post what  I make.  Besides, that's the beauty of a handmade card...it's never perfect.  :)

Blue Thank You!

I had a tough day today. I'm not getting much sleep lately...lots of changes and uncertainty around me.  I really like to sit at my computer in the late evenings after the munchkins are in bed and create, blog surf, or whatever to unwind.  Tonight I made a simple card.  It's all Stampin' Up designer paper and bashful blue cardstock.  The stamp is also Stampin' Up Elegant Thank You and the ink is Chocolate Chip by SU.  I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the design on the blue and cinnamon stickles.  I'm going to give this card to someone who was helpful to me very recently.

I might add some color to the edge of the solid cardstock.  Hmmm.  maybe I'll sleep on it.  

Sweet Treat Thank You

My friend, Jessi, was kind enough to bake cupcakes for our Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk Open House. I lost my father to complications from this disease on September 3, 2010 and we are all committed to making a difference for future generations. I made this sweet card for Jessi. She loved it!!!
