Another Altered card . . .

This one was originally made by Jen Coleman - I added only the Hollyhock back piece with another row of scallops and stamped a Happy Birthday greeting inside! Isn't it wonderful?! It filled a need for a beautiful birthday card with only about 3 minutes of my time invested. Thanks for the rescue Jen!!!

Update on life - I had my first ever nail acrylics put on today and done in a lovely natural length and shape - with french manicure. I'm still adjusting, but I think I'll love them! I know I'll be showing my hands off in the very near future . . .

Hugs!

Babies!

When the new CTMH catalog came out my unit did a wonderful card swap and I participated in two sets! That meant that I got one set to create a demo board (examples of each type of paper and lots of new stamp sets!) and the other set was for me to enjoy and share!! This was one of the cards that I altered slightly to make it "mine" and give for a welcome baby card.

The original was by Joanne Zubal - just delightful and even though it was cheating - it's about the only way I'm getting anything done (until May when my love will be far away and I'll have oddles of time to stamp).

Hugs!
