A couple of new cards

I am loving the Embrace Life stamp set! I wasn't sure what to do with it at first, but now, I am using it all the time. It is fabulous for watercolouring!! I made a bunch of these cards for my friend and her family who have recently lost their father to a short illness.

Scrapping with no photos

I did this layout last month, for I was the GDT member at my LSS (Local Scrapbook Store). I am terrified of birds. I got chipboard birds in my kit. I had to use them ;) LOL All my journalling is on the back, as I ran out of room!! LOL!

Accessories: Stampin' Up! photo corner punch, Maya Road chipboard bird keychain, Signo Uniball White gel pen

I used the distressing tool for the edges of the confetti white cardstock, and then used the word window punch to do the words.

Supplies used: various cardstock colours, confetti white cardstock (it's my favourite neutral!), classic inks, micro beads, dazzling diamonds glitter, Stampin' Dimensionals, silver brads, distressing tool.
