Sometimes life gets in the way of having fun and creating, well I’m here to say that is just what has happened to me these past two months.  After a horrific swimming accident that ended in death of my cousin and then my husband becoming very ill, most of my time has been totally drained from me.  I can now breathe again and hoping it will stay that way.

I made this card for my cousin that lost her son.  I didn’t know it at the time but butterflies are her favorite.

I made this card for my sister in law who will be having two of her children getting married this year.

I am having so much fun using my Cricut this past week.  I created this card in Design Space and turned it into a male birthday card.  I inked the yellow tie to give it a little dimension.  At the top I used some grey brads for the buttons and a little bit of glitter for the tie tack. I added some foam dots under the tie to give it a little poof . It is smaller then the usual A2 size ones I usually make but it will hold a gift card for that special male.

Being a Christian this card was important for me to make and post on this day.

I had this card in the back of my mind for awhile and then it all just came together.  I made the crown from a die cut and simply added a few colors of ink to give it a more real look. Notice I even added some blood to the crown, then I popped it up with pop dots for dimension.  I used an embossing folder which kinda looked like crosses for the background.  Now the inside is what I had envisioned first.  I wanted the stamped area to look like a bright star and adding the cross near the bottom represents where Jesus was.

I would like to send Easter Blessings to each and everyone that visits my site.
