thanks much

Butterflies and flowers made me think spring today and i dusted of my edgelit for a little extra pizzaz! The magnetic platform is a MUST in anyone's crafting room that uses any framelits, edgelits ect. I lent mine out so used just my regular cutting platform for doing this. Oh.my.word. u know how many times i had to cut to get it right?! Everytime i ran it through it would move just a smidge and be crooked. cant have that on a pretty card;) So i kept trying and got it eventually.

Punches and a little bling put this card together rather quickly!

 a handsome little fellow was born to a friend of mine from church. With a head full of dark hair and little cheeks to kiss, what's not to love!!??

Regarding Dahlia's (wedding)

 A few weekends ago we had a wedding to go to here in town and I wasn't sure on the color scheme as  the invite was neutral...I guess I went quite far from the neutral color scheme for their gift, but hopefully they liked it anyways! Using the fun hostess set "banner greetings" I stamped the mr&mrs flag and then scraps of matching dsp.

This is the stack of thank yous that I attached to the gift;) Simple and pretty I kinda thought.

Have you got your 'ink' on lately??!!:)

 I'm not totally sure, but i think you call this technique collage stamping. where we stamp, over stamp, over stamp...well overlapping would be a better word i think. I called this my 'fallish' card that could work for men, thank you or birthday, well whatever for that matter!
