Floral Fancy

 I needed a birthday card and a thinking of you card at the same time, while finding the little kitty image for my great niece I also saw the watering can with the flowers and thought this set would work for both cards.  This kit came in a card making magazine, they have paper backgrounds and thick cardboard like flowers that you add to the piece to give it dimension, like decoupage.

Spool Photo holders

 When I first started my blog I planned on sharing all kinds of crafts that I enjoy doing, but as time went on I mainly share my cards because there always seems to be some cards to make for a birthday, get well and here of lately sympathy, so I don't get much chance to do the other crafts I enjoy, but I made these for a friend so I am able to share something other than a card, although I used many of my cardmaking goodies on them.

I have seen these also called place setting card holders, but my attention was for my friend to be able to display pictures of her family in them.  Didn't want to give them without something in the holders so I added cards to each of them so she could display until she found pictures she wanted to put in them.

I will share what is in common I used on these all and then under each picture the things I used on each individual one.

• Woodpile - Spools 1 1/2 x 2 1/8 "
• Tim Holtz - Memo pins
• Memory Box - Stitched Circle Layer
• Authentique - Cherish collection papers
• Cheery Lynn Designs - Alison's ribbons dies
• Making Memories - Buttons
• Tim Holtz - Tiny Tattered florals dies

These were fun to do and now I need to make a set for myself :)

Happy New Year!

 I came across this paper pack again and thought I haven't used this near enough, I liked this image with the sentiment.  There is a piece of the paper that has these pretty flowers so I just fussy cut one out to go with it, added some gems and lace.

• Graphic 45 - Bird Watcher papers and image, flower fussy cut from paper pack
• Spellbinders - Marvelous squares die
• Lace 
• Gems

We actually stayed up until Midnight last night, I will be ready tonight to go early :)  Lot's of people must have saved some fireworks from the 4th because we had quite a few going off.

Wishing you all a wonderful happy and healthy new year with lot's of time for crafting!

Hugs,

Connie
