Sympathy Card..for a Dear Friend


This card is for a dear friend of mine who lost her mother.... it saddened my heart so... I wanted it to be really special... The background paper reminded so much of "Miss Rheba's" mother somehow..and Carolem for the message board used this cross for a sympathy card recently and I knew that is what I had to use.... so with my birthday money I ran right out to get the cart.... I so hope that this card will warm "Miss Rheba's" heart... thank you for looking..~~Jeannie

A Seperation of Flowers


I thought of this card at work today and could not wait to get home to make it... it was making me crazy... do any of you ever feel that way??.... the only Cricut I have on here is from Pooh and Friends...and it is the flowers..they were cut twice at 3 1/4 inches...the square blue square that I first mounted them on is cut at 3 1/2 inches tall and 3 inches wide... I cut the second flowers apart to make the arrangement and mounted them on the blue square... the (and this was hard to make myself do) I cut the square with flowers into thirds...the yellow and pink paper each rectangle is mounted on is 1/2 inches wider and taller than the blue square...then I cut the side rectangles to fit...the butterflies are my Martha Stewart punch with rain dots added and glued only in the middle so the wings fold out...this is had to see when I scan the card in because laying them on the scanner flattens them.... I really hope ya'll like this one... please tell me what you think... ~~Jeannie

{HI}

I received a wonderful package in the mail today for my birthday..(July 13)... from my friend Carole.. it had a beautiful card...two beautiful hanging butterflies..she knows I love them..and several packages of dye cuts..this bee was in one of them..and I love it... the skittles are from wonderful Shelly.. the colors don't show up good in the picture..but I had a blast making this one...

Dude You Rock


My son John-Robert will be 21 on the 21st... he is such an odd delightful mixture of a person you could meet... He is an RA camp counselor and has been since he was 15..a camper since age 8 and he loves it ..it is his passion..part of why he is becoming a teacher is so he can do this for the rest of his life...he also loves Heavy Metal music and delights in finding inspirational lines in the lyrics... and one of my favorite things about him is he believes "happiness is a choice, you can always find the good in something, always. I choose to find the good I choose to be happy"...he know I hate skulls and likes to tease me about them so he will be so surprised by this card... I hope he loves it... thanks for looking ~~Jeannie

Friends

There is more to this card then you can see good in the scan....it all started with that beautiful butterfly that Carole Beath surprised me with ... thank you so much Carole ... I had to find just the right paper for it.... and finally I did ... "Basicgrey"...the orange on the left side is a different piece from the background paper trimmed down the right scaloppeeee edge...the large flower overlapping it is trimmed around so that it will overlap the orange paper..there are pop dots placed under the edge of the flower to make it pop off the page... pop dots are under the butterfly too... I cut up some rhinestone clearance snowflakes to add to the butterfly body and to the flowers... I also used rain dots on a couple of the flowers and the butterfly... the tr.io of dragonflies and a butterfly are a stamp added to the paper...I learned this from Shelly...thanks Shelly

TOGETHER WE CAN


A friend of my son, John-Robert asked me to make a card for his girlfriend of 17 months...she is flying in next week .... I now always make two cards just alike so I will have some cards on hand ... Cory's card for his girlfriend is just like this one except it says "Together we have been on top of the world for 17 months"... I didn't need two of those so I changed the wording for a sweetheart or a friend in need of support... I was tickled with this one... thanks for looking. ~Jeannie
