These cards were made with the SU set Fabulous Florets. I love this stamp set and the decorative papers that match it.  I also used the butterfly from the Creative Memories stamp set Find Your Style.  Marcia and I got creative and these are the results.

Customer Appreciation

Yesterday was Customer Appreciation Day at Angela's house, our Close to My Heart consultant and friend.  As always, the card samples were fabulous and Angela served a delicious chicken salad, and other goodies.  And to top it all off, we made two adorable cards.   Thank you Angela.

Inky Fingers July

Caryl graciously provided her house for our July get together while Cari provided the projects.  The first one was a Twist Card.

Then came the Tri Fold Card

and to top it off the "All In an Inch" Challenge

A star is born...

I have made several stars including a Christmas one with photos and they are fun to do.  My friend Bonnie came over last week and made her first star with a 4th of July theme.

A friend is moving to a new home giving me the opportunity to make a card.  I have no "house" stamps but on a trip to Michael's this weekend I found, in the dollar bins, dimensional birdhouse stickers they come four to a package one set had the three stickers used on this card plus one more birdhouse.   Easy, easy and inexpensive.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.  ~Jewish Proverb

A couple of Mother's Day cards for inspiration...

 

Using her sewing machine Caryl stitched the word Mom and it took her several hours to get it just right.  Since this may be the only stitched card she will ever make I appreciate it all the more.
