Best Wishes Card for May monthly swap and a friend

Hello All!  Here is the wedding card that I made for my downline, Brie, who got married last Saturday.  I can't remember who I CASED to find the wedding ring idea but I LOVE it!  The rhinestones really make it look feminine.  I love the new Mosaic embossing folder for this card.

Happy stamping!

A Sympathy Card

I had to send another sympathy card.  One of my aunts recently lost a special friend.  Birthday cards and thank you cards are a lot more fun to create, write, and send.  (Though I am sure that you already knew that...)

The center layout on this card was heavily inspired by a card that Judy May, an Australian demonstrator,  made earlier this month. 

This picture is a little washed out, and I apologize.  I was trying to get it out in the mail right away and we have had a lot of overcast weather.

This is my other "project" lately...

Her name is Lilly and she is four.  She needed a new home.  Dorothy (cat numero uno) hasn't decided that she likes Lilly yet.  It has been interesting.  My husband and I have been getting immune to her....which has been an adventure since she likes to sleep with us, or should I say on top of us. 

Hope you are having a good day,

Julie
