Here is a card I did for Mary's summer challenge.  It is a 3D card which has an embossed background of writing, 3D shells and  a gold sticker saying "Happy Birthday. 

Here is a sympathy card that I made and thought I would enter it into Mary's "Anything Goes Card" challenge.  I hand sewed the cross and then added a sentiment. Very simple, but I think very elegant.

This card is my entry for the Pause Dream Enjoy beach challenge I used a blue card and matted it with a yellow mat. I hand embroidered the saying "Birthday Fishes" and the fish with their bubbles. I put gold rhinestones in the eyes of the fish. This was a fun card to make and I enjoyed sewing it.

Here are a couple of pictures of my boys. They are SOOOO interested in two things....birds (lst pic) and me (2nd pic). The 2nd one is them in my computer room looking at me. They are getting big.

Here is a card that I am entering in a challenge. I got this pic and made it 3D. I added some twine and some small gems. I also added a "Aloha" sticker.
