CASE'd My Own Card

Hi Everyone!! For the past cards I've posted, I thought something was odd about the quality of my pictures. . .sort of grainy. Well, on Friday, my daughter asked me to drop off her camera to school because she forgot to bring it (the exact same camera as mine) and I couldn't find it in her room. While in my craft room, I realized I had 2 cameras and lo' and behold, one of them was my daughter's camera. For the past few weeks, I was using her camera which is on a lower quality setting. Now it makes all the sense in the world. I couldn't figure out why the pictures looked the way they did and I was beginning to think it was blogger that was having a problem.


Anyway. . .now to my card! I actually CASE'd one of my old cards because I had a customer who wanted me to make the same card for her. Do you know I don't like recreating my cards because many times, I don't have the same materials so I usually don't agree to duplicate a card. Well, I agreed anyway. Luckily, I found similar materials that I could recreate the card.

Are you the same way? I rarely make duplicate cards. . .when I do, it's because I know I have the materials available to make more than one or two duplicate cards.

I also made another card that this person requested. . .again, I CASE'd a card I made months ago. This time, I didn't have any of the materials that were on my original card but I made it as close as possible as the original card. I'll post it next time.



Card Details:
Papers: DCWV designer paper
Accessories: Ribbon (Michaels), Heidi Swapp heart chipboard, Fiskar scallop border punch, JoAnn metal/vellum tag, JoAnn heart brads

Scrappy Valentine Cards

Hi Everybody! I'm planning to give this card to my husband for Valentines. The sentiment says "Be My Valentines" but you can't see it. In person, the sentiment shows up better.

It's a simple card but I like it. My husband don't like frilly or busy cards so I tried to keep it very simple.

Hey. . .I feel so much better today! I'm sooooo happy that the nausea and vomiting is gone. Thank you for those who wished me well. I really, really appreciate your thoughtfulness!






I actually like how this card came out because it's different from my typical straight angled cards! This card could be given for Valentines as well as an all occassion card.

Card Details:

Accessories: Sizzix Die, Prima Flowers, Fiskar Scallop Scissors, K&Co Stickers, Making Memories Ribbons, DCWV Designer paper, JoAnn Brads, SU Groovy Guava, Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue Cardstock
