~Purple Passion Party Time~

Happy Friday! 

It is raining like cats and dogs here again and the flowers are loving it!

On that thought...I'm showcasing a flowery card I created for my niece Lindsay's birthday. 

She is a young lady who enjoys good times with family and friends! 

I don't see too many creations incorporating the color purple, so this is what I came up with. 

I decorated the inside too, but...(you know me!)I did not get a pic before sending it off.

Thank You Card To A Great Russian Family!

My sister had asked me to make a thank you card for her. 

She wants to send a special handmade card to her daughter's Russian host family. 

Her daughter, my niece, Taylor, is currently a 12th grade exchange student in (I hope I get this right!) Velikiy Nov, Russia. 

And I must say, she is loving every bit of Russia!!

She has traveled all around that region and to a couple of other countries also! What an experience to have at that age!

Ingredients:

Cardstock~Recollections

Patterned paper~The Paper Studio,The Linen Door

Burlap ribbon~Recollections

Border punch~Martha Stewart

Sentiment~Fiskars

Ink~StazOn, jet black and VersaMagic, spanish olive

I was not going to post this card, but Tracy could not praise me enough when she finally received it in the mail! 

I am not pleased at all with this picture, I just could not get a good camera shot. 

I have researched online tips and techniques...but can't seem to get the hang of it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!
