Ciao! I'm so excited. It has been at least a year since I've made a card using card-stock, stamps etc.. The second one is a digital card. I know that many of you are not fans of digi cards but I love making them so I thought I would share it along with the handmade card.
I made this card using Stamping UP! products. The stamps I used are from Fabulous Phrases & That's the Ticket.The papers that I used are from the new More Amore Specialty DP. You will find them in the new Holiday Mini. The red heart is from the More Amore DP. The other two hearts were made by using the heart punch. The tickets were cut out using the ticket punch. I used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder. The card-stock that I used is Pool Party and Very Vanilla. Lastly I used Realy Red Bakers Twine. I made this Valentines Day card for Wayne. He does not read my blog so he will not know about it. It felt awesome to make a handmade card. I'm not sure how often I will be able to make one but when I do I will post it. :)
Next up is my MDS Card:
I use the Fan fair DP in my MDS program a lot! Thats what I used to make this card. Both cards were made for the Pals Paper Art challenge for this week. I had fun making both cards. If someone were to ask me which one is my favorite I would be hard press to give them an answer.
And lastly, I have a photo to share with you. :)
A photo I took of Darcy(my granddaughter and Grace(my great-granddaughter), having a quiet moment together.They are both so precious.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Stay warm, stay safe and Smile. :)
Way to go girly friend. So happy that you could finally get one done. He'll really appreciate this.

Everything is great that you posted! I'm so glad you were able to make a card. We just had our club night and it seemed like it had been so long since I made a card besides the 100 I mass produced for xmas. Now it seems like if I'm not busy with something else, then my knee bothers me and I have to elevate it. Oh well. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work and listening to my pity party.

Oh Mary - I'm so happy for you that you were able to make a card using "real" things! Your card is awesome. Your second card is very pretty, too. I've never seen a card done digitally "in real life" before, but I bet it's very cool. What a wonderful photo.
