Sister you are like my angel

I am continuing on my Mom's birthday card stash. Since she has so many sisters I found a sentiment that I liked on Pinterest and used that with lots of flowers, pears, gems, ribbon and a bow.

Candle Lantern

I wanted to challenge myself this year to make more CAS cards, but so far I haven't been doing it.  So I tried with Christmas card.  I used the same die cuts and sketch and changed the layouts. I have soooooo many craft embellishments and supplies that I feel dedicated to fill up space so CAS cards freak me out. This style is more comfortable than the CAS which I posted previously.   I left sentiments for both to go with this weeks CHNC Challenge.

Happy 4th Anniversary

My massage therapist is having his 4th Anniversary for having his business open and trust me I wouldn't go anywhere else.  With having diabetes, I get problems with range of motion in some of my joints and it really helps to have regular massages.  So this is a card that I made for him and his staff.  I used embossing powder for the sentiment from Verve and a sticker for the number 4.
