Almost Artisan Award

I'm going to finish showing the rest of my Almost Artisan Award entries this week.  Here is the last of the 5 cards I entered.  It's a remake of a card I had done previously in completely different colors for spring.  You can see that card here.  Which one do you like best?  I like them both as they are both such different looks.  It's amazing how just changing the colors in a design can alter the look so completely.  Although the Dusty Durango color in this card is retired, it would look lovely in our new Cajun Craze.  And the stamp sets featured, Fifth Avenue Floral and Leaf Lines, are still current and featured in our brand new Idea Book and Catalog.

Would you like to make cards like this?  Come to one of my classes, and I'll teach you how!  Check out the "Classes Available" tab at the top of my blog to see current classes today and every day.

Mother's Day

Isn't it lovely?  This is an extra large, deluxe card and would be perfect for Mother's Day or a birthday.

Easter Sunday Post

Happy Easter Sunday to all!  As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we do so with humility.  Our gratefulness, thanksgiving, and joy know no bounds as we rejoice this Easter Sunday.   As you gather with your local church and have friends and family round your dinner table, may you know greater blessings than ever before as we honor the one with whom all things are possible.
