My husband's niece just got engaged, and we are all so excited, they are planning a June wedding. I decided to make her an "engagement card" with lots of white and sparkles. I hope you like it! This card also qualifies for the Cheery Lynn Design's Challenge #78, Bling It Up!

Here's a close up of the bling on the corners:

Thinking of You!

Welcome to my garden of paper petals. Nothing makes happier than giving a card to someone who treasures it. A friend of mine loves the color purple, so for her birthday, I made her a card with a large purple mum as the center, with light colored purple daisies, some dark purple flowers for depth, and some baby's breath as filler. My friend just loved the card, and has it showcased in a shadow box from Michael's. She couldn't wait to show me what she had done. Imagine my surprise when I walked into her family room, and there on the wall was my card hanging up on the wall. It looks beautiful! I hope you all enjoy it!

Victorian Garden with Purple Clematis

This is a card that I made using more of a garden theme with the white trellis from Cheery Lynn (available at Joan's Gardens), and the beautiful Celtic heart (also from Cheery Lynn, and available at Joans Gardens) in the center symbolizing love. My dad grew purple clematis in our yard when I was growing up, and I always thought they were magical. Now when I look at them, I remember my dad with much love. Unfortunately you can't see the shading in the middle of these petals, it is a subtle shade of violet.
