Serene orchids

I found this image I had from Jeremiah Ketner "Orchids" and I just love the image. I have a distress oxide background that I made a while back so I don't even remember the colors that are involved. I love the deep in thought, serene look which is where I feel that I have been as I have been trying to go through my belongings and pack up my house as I am getting ready to move. When I get to the craft area I think I will have a much different look...….

Pet Sympathy Cards

We are struggling with the lockdown and challenge of not knowing what to expect and stress of change. However, it also affects our critters. I am amazed at home many pet sympathies I had to make. To I made a group of 4 similar CAS designs since I need so many. I have had two lose cats and 2 lose dogs.  One that lost a dog also had their cat get seriously injured.  So then that's just another stress losing a pet during this difficult time. I lost a cat a few months ago and I know my other cat is still struggling with the lose of her sister. So we can just love our critters and I know that they are trying to help us cope.

Swirling Grace Merry Christmas

This is a card that I made for the Thursday Imagine That Inspiration Post using the new Poinsettia set and the Deck the Halls paper.  I also used one of the Spellbinders that I recently purchased Amazing Paper Grace Swirling Grace which I think looks very elegant with this Christmas card.  I then added some flowers.
