time flies and cards

i can't believe we are almost half way through the summer already. where does the time go?

here are a few of my latest cards that i've made.

this one i made for ava's dance recital. she loved it and she even asked me how i made it. it was a wonderful night for all of us. i remember sitting through so many recitals with melissa. to see ava up there on the stage dancing, brought back the same butterflies i used to get watching her mom!

here are a few cards i made for a card olymics i'm participating in on one of the message boards i belong to. i had so much fun making this red, white and blue card. i used my cricut to make the layered flag and stars. It's hard to tell from the photo, that i used a glitter glazed pen on the stripes of the flag and to make stitch lines around the navy background. i will admit that the card is pretty heavy with all the layers so it will need some extra postage for mailing.

this card was made for a fall card challenge and it won first place! I was totally caught by surprise! you know when you're not loving something and you just keep playing with it...well that was how i felt about this card, so you can only imagine my surprise when i found out that it placed! it's hard to tell from the photo, but the gold sprigs are done with glitter and the autumn greetings tag is layered and pop dotted.
