So lucky you're my cousin

My Mom comes from a LARGE family of 13 kids so I have a lot of cousins. Family is very important to me and that is something that I have passed down to my children.  Paulette at TLC has a wonderful set for St. Patrick's Day with six sentiments.  My card also has papers from TLC.

So lucky you're my friend

I have a friend that is ALWAYS there for me and calls me to check in with me all the time.  She is more like a sister than a friend.  I don't know what I would do without her.  So when I saw the new sentiments from TLC, I thought this was perfect.

I'm hare for you

Here is another card that I made for the Catch the Bug Challenge as a sample.  It is using a Bugaboo image and a TLC sentiment.  There is hope that spring is coming, we are to be having it get to 40 this weekend.  I just saw a post that said "Only in Wisconsin can people get excited when it turns 40 degrees!"  This is so true, especially with the cold streak we have been having.

Someone is praying for you

I have a friend who had their cat pass away so I made this card to send.  The image is from Bugaboo and the wonderful sentiment was a recent freebie at TLC.  It also happens that I am the Biggest Fan for the month of March so this card is being used as a sample for the "Anything Goes" Challenge that begins today and runs for a week.

If love is blind

Kris came out with some wonderful spring sets, but I wanted to make a CAS card.  I used a bra from the set that can be found here.  When I printed the card, I added a sentiment from TLC which I thought was perfect.  Then I just added a ribbon and a Joilee heart.

Wishing you a boat-load

I had fun with this card and kept it rather simple.  It has a sentiment from TLC, and the image is a freebie that I don't remember where I found.

Sending you some hugs

For this card, I used a wonderful sentiment set from TLC.  I embossed the Kraft paper as the background and added a ribbon to it along with a flower.  I made it following the Mojo sketch.  I send a card to my daughter who is in college each week, and this is what I thought she needed.
