Whimsical Words card

Do you like Pink? I am not overly fond of it but now with a granddaughter I do tend to use it more. Here is a card that I did using it. I think this will go to my mother who is having a very difficult time of it now.

Supplies used:
Whimsical Words stamp set
Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die
Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon

Finial Press Textured Embossing Folder

Play time

I had a friend over today and I was working on scrap pages. She was working on cards but when she finished she pulled out directions to make these cool boxes. The directions are here. We used various papers and card stock along with different bling.

Second Challenge Card and Easter

I had to do another card for the Challenge making a Love card without hearts. I think I like this one better.
I also made my first Easter card and like it but need to change the color of the flower as you really can't tell the difference from the leaves.

Happy New Year to all
