It is when you give

of yourself that you truly give.

Today on 365 Cards, is a sketch from Pam Maas that is really fun... go take a shot at it.





The sketch had buttons shown but I don't really do many buttons, just not my thing.  but flowers.... oh I like the flowers!

I made these flowers using another of my new dies, this one is from Heartfelt Creations but made by Spellbinders for them along with the coordinating stamp set from Heartfelt Creations.

boy it's a good thing I won $50 from Heartfelt Creations, then spend another $75 with them to get 3 sets of dies & matching stamp sets!  addictive?  yes.  willpower? no.

butterfly shaped card

4 Crafty Chicks has a challenge of make a card but it can't be rectangle or square... CHECK!

I really enjoy making different shaped cards, especially since I have a Gypsy, makes it SO VERY easy!


this butterfly's front piece was smeared around in some Making Memories pain in green, pink & blue. The background piece was sprayed with Tattered Angels in Artic Blue. After attaching the front piece to the main card, I stamped using Butterfly Wings from CTMH in Crystal Blue also from CTMH. The I cut another card base the same size as the first & attached it for a triple butterfly effect. I stamped inside with Stampin'Up's Thank You Kindly also in the Crystal Blue ink.
