Peacocks & Secret Sister Card

Today was a beautiful day on the eastern shore of MD, I didn't want to sit home and do nothing so I went out for a drive. There is a man not far from me that has a farm where he raises peacocks. Well that is my favorite bird of all times so today I stopped and introduced myself to him. He has given me an open invitation to stop by anytime to take more pictures.

I also received my package today from my Facebook secret sister card swap that I am in. So I am attaching a picture of the before and the after. It is really fun, they send us paper, embelishments, stamped images and it is our job to make a card out of what she sent. I hope you enjoy the finished project as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Enjoy the pictures of the peacocks also.

I am getting better....

Ok, so I am not as good as some stampers, but for someone who has only been stamping for a little over 2 months, I'm not that bad. Here are 3 cards that I made today. The first two are from a link I found on a someone else's blog site (sorry, next time I will post is so you can make the card also). This is the card I am sending to my cousin Lila who just lost her husband Eddie on Tue. The next one was from the kit my upline gave me for my first workshop, but we decided to go a different angle. I changed somethings up and this is what I came up with. The last one is from a card kit that I got from my new friend Chary in CA, we exchanged card kits and this is what I came up with from the supplies that she sent, I love it.

Hope you enjoy the cards and go and get creative and don't be afraid to try something new or different. It is fun.

Well, it's been a few days, but it has been a crazy few days. Please keep my family in your prayers as we deal with an unexpected death in our family. Here are a few cards that I finally got around to making. I hope you enjoy them. They are from a few card swaps that I am in.

Yesterday I went on a job interview for a job that I would love to have. I would be the administrative assistant for a church in Easton, MD if I were to get it. Well when I came home I decided that I would give them one more wow from me, so I am sending them a Thank you card for interviewing me. So this is the card that I am sending them.

First post...is there anyone out there?

Well, now that I have some pictures of the cards that I have created uploaded I guess I can start with a daily blog. I am trying to stamp every day, but some days that just doesn't seem possible. I am getting better though. The daily challenges really inspire me. These are just a few of the cards that I have made. I will add more every day.
