The Best Piano Teacher EVER!

So my daughter takes piano lessons from one of my best friends, she is so wonderful, and she has a lot talent. Those of you who are local know her as Debbi. They just recently had a recital and she gave my daughter this card. Isn't is so fun and perfect for the occasion! I thought is was so awesome that she gave her students a congratulations card! She is so thoughtful. My daughter was so excited to get this card. This is what my daughter said to her piano teacher " My mom is going to be so proud of you!" And I really am! Thanks Debbi!!

In Honor of National Scrap Booking Month. . .

I actually finished a layout! Can you believe it? It looks better in real life, projects always do, I think.

I really love doing these flowers, they are so fun!

I thought it wouldn't take as long as it did but it is done. Yeah, about 6 more layouts and then the wedding album is finished.

Raspberry Tart Mini Cards

Last night I had a great turn out for this month's Ladies' Night. We made a some fun mini cards. This class highlighted the embosslit dies for the big shot and the Raspberry Tart DSP.
In this picture below the colors look awful, I think it is all the Rose Red that made my camera go crazy. The picture above looks more like the card in real life. I just love love love the ribbon used on this card, so pretty and elegant.

On some of the flowers I used a bit of a darker ink with a sponge dauber, to highlight the middle of the flower to give it more depth.I think this is my favorite card of all 4. I just think it is "adorable".
