Blue Iris Eyes...

It's birthday time again for my sweet niece Kelli.  So I'm hoping she'll enjoy this when she receives it.  She has the most pretty blue eyes and is a true blond.  So this title fits her quite well.  This is another one of Penny Blacks stamps that I again am very fond of.   I've been on a quest recently to try and make cards that are not 3 dementional without die cuts so that I do not have to pay extra postage.  We all know how costly it can get if your mailing many cards and the Post Office charges extra for the demention in the envelope. 

You will see more cards like this returning for your viewing of a couple more Penny Black Stamps that I purchased and stamped for cards to be on hand for a quick card.  

Hope you all have a great day!

Ocean Serenity....

I made this card some time ago.  I had the real (tiny) star fish and and sea shells and tried making waves with parchment paper to feel as if the waves were rolling in. I used glitter paper for the background hoping it may resemble the sun glittering off the water.  Unfortunately, my imagination is bigger than my crafting skills here.

 I also had a few stamps with sea shells and added to it.  This was not particularly one of my more favorite cards I've made trying to resemble the ocean.  So I've continue to make a few more ocean themed cards and will eventually get them photographed and uploaded for you to see. 

All for now....
