Sixth Card

This card I found surfing blogs and splitcoaststampers. I wanted to do a variety of cards to stretch everyone's ability and imagination. This is thanks to Beth Camp. This was fun to make, and you do a few different techniques all on the one card.

This is the front of the card. It is a trifold card, I added a band to keep it closed and a small tag to front for decoration.

This is the card open. The photo doesn't do the card justice, but it is really effective.

Card Four

Today I have enjoyed a day with a few girls who are doing the All About Me Album. We are up to our other half, and that has been interesting. Most are getting really involved and enjoying the concept, others are loving it, but not getting as much done. BUT they assure me it will happen.
This is Carole and Sue enjoying the day.

Don't you just love Sue's new look. Sue (standing) has had a new hair cut, it has been long for years, and she had it pulled back in a ponytail. Now look at her, "Gorgeous" and lovin' it.
