Happy Anniversary

Today is my parent's 31st Wedding Anniversary. I was out of town last week and didn't plan ahead like I should have. So... Monday night I pulled up the Mojo sketch (#131) and put together this card. I'm not sure if they got it on time, but it's the thought that counts, right? I know they enjoy my handmade cards. Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Thoughts and Prayers

I made both of these cards with the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. The images are simple and look great colored with the markers to get a 2-color effect. The set also includes several stamps that have great, heartfelt words for the inside of the cards.

Hope Happens

I made these cards for a Susan G. Komen silent auction fundraiser this past week at a conference. The auction was a success and at last count they had raised $18,600. Today I received sad news that my Stampin' Pretty Pal, Kris Kilcoyne, lost her mother to breast cancer. (I'm sorry for your loss Kris). It's a disease that I hope they can find a cure for soon.
