Little bird says goodbye

Hello Blogger friends!!

So sorry for being so long between posts. With my new business, my son moving out in his first apartment and all the rest, seems crafting and blogging have been left out of my agenda. Camping soon too.....Be back at normal pace in the Fall lol

For now, I do have an 8 X 8 card I made for a colleague leaving us after 10 years.

Hope you like...

For my first creation of 2014, I decided I needed a big change from the Christmas stuff so colored up Hella Enchanta.

I used the sparkle twist by adding some huge die-cutted stars as well as making the card sparkle with gold trim, button and metal star shaped paperclip. The designer paper is also glittered up in gold and the contour of my image is embossed with chunky black enamel and the 3D skull is a cool sticker I had in my stash. Hope you like!

White on White - Sympathy card

Happy Saturday Blogland friends!!! Are you enjoying a quiet evening at home like I am? That's what I like about winter, no feelings of guilt for wanting to stay warm and comfy :)

Here is a card I made as a sympathy card. I always have trouble with these cards, they are difficult to make and I find there is a fine line between a condolence and a wedding card right? Maybe just my way to give it another meaning making me feel better. Seems this design could have worked for both?

Hope you like :)
