Happy Labor Day!

Hi!
I have been away, healing from some surgery, but now I'm back. I'll be posting much more artwork in the next few days.
Take time to enjoy your Labor Day weekend, hopefully with family.  Be sure to take lots of photos to record those precious memories!

Happy Creating!

Cards & Holder

My dear friend has a birthday this month. 
 She loves and collects owls,
 so I decided to include this cute card set with her birthday gift.
  It uses Close to My Heart's August Stamp of the Month,
 "What a Hoot"!  This set of 17 stamps is so cute.

THANK YOU CARD

I just love swing cards!
This card was created at Close to My Heart's Convention in July.  The card was cut with the CTMH's  Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  We random stamped the flower from
 A Budding Friendship Stamp Set (D1602),  stamped the wreath from Sprig Wreath (M1043), and embellished with the new
 Gold Assortment Sequins (Z2012).
