DREAM


I started this card this morning...the papers were so pretty!! it was hard to know exactly what I wanted to do with them..... I cut the flowers because they matched the flowers on the brown paper.... then I went and visited a friend that I hadn't seen in 10 years.... I was so excited to get to see her!!..we had the best visit....and when I got home I knew just how to finish what I had started.. hope you like... ~~Jeannie

Featuring Fall

Inside of Card
This is an odd little card that I made... I know its very different.... it started with that strip of paper on the bottom of the card....then I wanted the pumpkins... and hand-cut the flowers to make the pumpkins more a part of the card...then there was that tree...one that I had cut the wrong size for another card a while back...and it was begging me to try it on the card...I have no idea why...but I liked it.... maybe you do too...just maybe you are not thinking "why in the world did she add the tree?"....
