Thinking of you....

This card makes me happy...and makes me think of my Sam-the-Mantha (my granddaughter for those of you who do not know). She's a "pink and purple" girl!!! So Sam...here's to you...thinking of you as you finish your first year of school!

my "manly" ruffle card

A few days ago Sandy at Operation Write Home posted a video tutorial on Ruffle Cards. These are very cute...very easy to make...and I know we all have those border punches that we need to use!

I looked thru my border punches and tried to pick one that was not too "frilly" ...I was really wanting to make a manly card.

Bargello Technique

Last week as I was commenting on some blogs in the OWH Stars and Stamps Monochromatic Challenge I came across a card using the Bargello technique on Margo's blog.  It looked really interesting...something I thought would be fun to use.  I found some great instructions here.

Let me know what you think!
