My beautiful quilt

Here is my beautiful, beautiful quilt that my wonderful friend Michelle Middleton made for me.  It is something I will always treasure, just like her friendship. She also make me a quilted wall hanging of Mary, Joseph & Baby Jesus that I put up at Christmas time & think of her every time I look at it. She is so very talented and I am so very blessed to have such a special friend in my life!

This is the card that I made for her birthday in April. I thought a quilt card would be appropriate!

Mother's Day

Here are the cards that I made for Mother's Day.

This card is one that I have designed on my own. I have been wanting to make use of the flower die so this card came together around that element. I made the card using Strawberry Slush card stock on a Whisper White card base. The second photo is putting the card together with a box that I made to hold some chocolates. Just sliding the card under the bellyband decorated the box & meant that there was no need for an envelope.

The seed packet apron is a card that I made for a card swap based on a card by Lisa Young of addinkandstamp.blogspot.com.  I used the Secret Garden flowers for my stamps.

This is my favourite card & one that I gave to my Mom.  It is inspired by a similar card that I found on Pinterest but there is no one to credit for the design.  I am so happy with the way it turned out.

Busy month for Birthdays

April is a busy month for birthdays in our house. Here is a card that I made for my SIL.  Her Birthday is the same as Dana's but we spread the celebrations out a bit this year. Actually May will be equally busy now that we have Brennan, Sarah & Dave & throw Mother's Day in there too. I guess I had better get at making some more cards.

Easter

Here are some cards that I made for Easter. I used the stamps set Blessed Easter & Watercolour Wonder DSP.  The first card is a duplicate of Wanda Pettijohn of starlightstamper.com.  I loved her design so much that I made it exactly like hers. The second card is a modification of one with a unique opening but cannot for the life of me find the original post.
