Card Recognition

Congratulations


These two cards are a redo of this card I made last week because my sister asked for a wedding card for our cousin who's getting married tomorrow.  With the Congratulations sentiment I'll throw my luck in to the Paper Crafts Idol challenge and this month's Hero Arts theme.   

But even more exciting then the cards is the fact that this morning I got the real treat of meeting two blogging pals in real life!  Lisa and Michele took time out of their busy lives to come browse the Highlands Ranch Archivers with me, and it was like we'd known each other for years.  I'm always so appreciate of the positive interactions I get from my blogging pals, but it was an extra special treat to final meet some of them face to face.  And I love that we all "know" the same people!  


Materials: Unity Living and Loving Life, Hero Arts sentiment, Versafine black ink, Tim Holtz Ornamental die, PTI cloud dies, Tim Holtz rays embossing folder, Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 paper, Patterned paper from my stash, white card stock from Ben Franklin
