Belated Mother's Day

I always try to post a card for any holidays and you may have noticed that I missed Mother's Day.  I didn't have access to my pictures for the week prior and I didn't want to just post words.  The picture of a card or a piece of stained glass is the reason why I keep the blog going.  Nobody wants to read all the words that go along with the post.  So I hope all my friends and family members had a good day Sunday.

Leaves, Butterflies, and the Sun

I hope I haven't posted this card before but I don't think I have.  I  love this sun and recently made a few more cards with it.  This set along with the punched butterflies can be used for so many different occasions.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

Today would have been my parent's anniversary, but I forget how many years.  I guess the important thing is they were married over 55 years when my dad died.  The background of this card is the Work of Art set that I have been using the past few post along with an older set called Baroque Motiffs.  The butterfly is new this year and I love it.

RIP Wink

 

 

This is the card I made for one of our band members when her husband died.  She and her son both thanked me for making it for her.  It was actually the son that figured out I made it.  He happened to turn it over and I stamp the back of all my cards with my name. 

Sending Good Wishes

I don't think I published this one yet.  Once again it features the butterfly die.  I also used the co-ordinating stamp set.  This is the last one I will post for awhile.  I need to mix up the themes for a change.

Blue Butterfly and Blooms

Like I said in an earlier post, I love this new butterfly.  It does take a while to poke all those chads out but it is so worth the effort.  Today would have been Jim's dad's birthday.

Love These Butterflies

I have needed quite a few sympathy cards and thinking of you type cards the past few weeks.  Here are two that I made using a stamp set and die that I earned free from Stampin' Up!.  I love this butterfly.  It is now my new favorite butterfly die. 

Gift Bag

I needed a bag and card for a recent Birthday party that I attended.  The theme of the party was butterflies so of course I had plenty of butterfly ideas.  One of my fellow Stampin' Up! demos showed me how to make this bag with card.  Thanks Robbin.  Isn't it clever?  The card decorates the bag and is the usual card.

October Already

This year is flying by.  Happy Birthday to all the October people, birthstone opals or pink zircons.

Happy Birthday May

Today would have been my mother in law's birthday.  September used to be a big month for me and sending cards.  Not so much anymore.  My MIL saved every card that
I made for her.  If you make cards, does anyone save your cards?  My brother does, pretty good for a guy.
