Roses for My Dear "Little" Rose

Hi friends! Long time no see! I've been crazy busy starting a non-profit org for kids in our area and helping dh  grow his dental IT biz....enough of that! Now on to some crafty-ness!

This was the card I made for my daughter's 20th birthday. She is 4th generation (on my mom's side) to have Rose as her middle name and she loves them like I do. There are 20 roses in this flowerpot. I cut them using Sweethearts and my pearl paper which I then colored w/ my alcohol inks. The flower pot is from Kate's ABC's. Paper is by My Mind's Eye and it and the lace came from Hobby Lobby. Cute little clear gem pin came from Sugar Sweet Boutique (LOVE her!)

Inside is pretty simple, some stamps, a little crown punch I blinged and another little rose.....

I hope you all have a very blessed week!

For no reason...

A couple of weeks ago I had a little time to craft and no particular project to work on so this is what I came up with...

A fun little cherry card. I just love this cut from Nifty Fifties, that was my inspiration for this one. On the cherries and leaves I heat embossed the layers twice to make them nice and shiny (hard to tell in this pic.) I used my cute little pink Dymo Caption maker for the words, isn't it perfect? I left the inside blank so I can decide what to use the card for later.

This card was inspired by this cute lady on her Vespa from the Sweethearts cart. I've always wanted to make her. Of course I had to add my paper flowers and some bling. The card background was embossed with one of the new Cuttlebug All In One sets, I used a border from the Thank You set.
I left the inside of this one blank as well.

It's nice to know that I have a few blank cards on hand now for when things pop up.

Have a very blessed day!
