Tickled Pink stamp set

This is a card I made for my mother inlaw for her birthday this past weekend. I used the stamp set from the Tinkled Pink kit. I am really happy with the flowers from this set...really pretty! I used a DCWV premade card base and CTMH cardstock along with some ribbon from Walmart. The ink I used was all CTMH and the colours were Hollyhock, Blush, Sweet Leaf and Crystal Blue.

Beautifully Imperfect...

This is a video I stumbled on and it touched me in a very profound way.

Watch it and you will understand completely.

Happy Birthday card

This is a card I made for my friends birthday and I wasn't going to post it until I gave it to her but it seems that we can't find a time to get together. So I decided to go ahead and post it anyway. I don't THINK she visits my blog but if you do Becky...this card isn't for you. ;)

I was really happy with the way it turned out. The inspiration came from another card I had seen somewhere but I can't remember where I seen it. I actually think it was a SU design but if it was your card I seen...please notify me so I can give you credit!
