Portrait of a Jewel

Using a scrapbook kit from Manuela Zimmermann from http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/

Happy Birthday to Lynn

This is a card I made for a dear friend with whom I make cards once a week. She and I, along with two other friends have been getting together every Wednesday for several years. Sometimes we don't get anything created but we always enjoy each other's company and design ideas! It is always a big task when one of our birthdays comes around, as we want to make sure whatever we make for each other is very special!

This year I "cheated" by copying the beautiful ruffled flower medallion card from Becca Feeken at http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/. Becca is an incredible card designer - she is an official designer for Spellbinders and works magic with their dies! She is also a very generous crafter who often takes the time to post detailed tutorials to which you will find a link on the left sidebar of her site. Give yourself a treat and take a look at her site!

Personal Projects....

I finally decided I had to take a break from online challenges and use Photoshop to work on some of my personal pictures. I bought a collage frame for my daughter and added these photos of last summer's trip to Kaui! I have actually been very busy but my blog does not reflect it!
