Quick 50th Birtday Card (in Anna Griffin Style)


A real quick post on a 50th birthday Card I did for a dear friend.    So I had been thinking about the card I wanted to make her for over a wee, but kept getting busy and putting it off.  I woke-up the morning I was to meet her for her birthday lunch in a panic - I hadn't made her card yet and I still had to go to a doctors appointment. 


Well Thank goodness (and God) for all the beautiful Anna Griffin supplies I have.  I was able to put the this card together before my appointment and still meet my friend for lunch on time.

You can see below that I used shiny gold metallic cardstock for an appropriate 50th celebration!








Okay, just a tiny glimpse of my "new" flower frog/card display holder.

Beautiful Dreamcatcher Card

Hello Everyone.  Today I have a Beautiful Dreamcatcher Card to share.




I love the way this  turned out.  My colors, theme, layout, and technique where all chosen based on some challenges I am entering this week.  Please see list below for more info on these fun blogs.

I did two versions of the card. This first one you can see all the way thru the center of the deramcatcher and get a glimpse of the sentiment on the inside with just "dream" showing thru the opening. 

 
On The next one you just see thru to the base card layer. Then I added the word dream to the bottom with a die-cut.

Which one do you like better?  Leave a comment below, I'd like to know what you think.
