A couple "just because" cards

Hello there all! I have a couple cards to share that I have posted up on the Friday the Thirteenth blog right now. I like to keep a few cards on hand "just in case" so I have started making a small collection. In the past I haven't been much of a card maker, but I have found the selections at the stores lacking and I really like the personal touch of homemade cards. The first card I have to share is one that I've made for my Grandmother. She lives over 600 miles away and I only get to see her twice a year, so I like to send her cards with little notes and photos inside.

 I used the "Magical Moments" collection and you can find it here. 

And the second one I created is just a simple "I love you" card.

 For this card I mixed papers from the "Ladies Night" and "Good to know" collections found here.

Thanks for dropping in! Have a wonderful day!

He still gives me butterflies

Good morning all! Here we are into the second week of February already. I have a feeling this month is going to fly by as quickly as last month seemed to. I don't know about you, but I'm over winter and more than ready for warmer weather to get here. Anyhoo we have a brand new sketch that has gone live at Let's Get Sketchy, and I have my interpretation to share with you.

Let me start by saying yes it's a sad but true fact that I've had these Cosmo Cricket papers lost in my stash for almost seven years. I had purchased them back when I was in my "someday" mode. I'd buy supplies hoping that I'd get a chance to use them sooner rather than later, but unfortunately I just wasn't able to find the time. Now that I've found the time I've been slowly working through all my old stash with a use or purge philosophy. When I seen this week's sketch this page popped into mind immediately. Our anniversary is this Friday so I wanted to do a page for us.  

Here is this week's beautiful sketch designed by Jenessa Franco

Thanks for dropping in! I truly appreciate your time and lovely comments! Have an awesome week!
