Birthday Card

Here are two pictures of a Birthday Card I made for my sister-in-law. I really like the colors. The ribbon says happy birthday.

Wedding Card

We have a wedding to go to next weekend and of course I'm making the card! I did stiching around the large block and X's in the corners of the small blocks. Flower is a sticker and the sentiment is just something I had. I need to work on the stiching skill - but other than that I'm really happy on how this one turned out.

I can stitch!

Okay, it isn't that difficult but I think it will add a lot to my scrapbooking and cardmaking looks!

Graduation Card

We have a graduation party to go to. He's graduating from Byron Center, their colors are orange and black. Here are the pics of the card.
