Good morning! Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends!! We've got more swimming lessons today, so this post will have to be short. (You know, I always say that but end up writing a book anyway...heheheeehehee!)
Here are a couple of cards that I made with the newest stamps from Verve...
I used the Forever in Our Hearts set for this first card. I just love that Julee included sentiments that would work for sending cards to those that have lost loved ones years ago to let them know that their loved ones will indeed never be forgotten! This card is for a dear friend of mine that lost her daughter several years ago...and she happened to love orange and blue, so those are the colors I chose for my card.
You know, for being a self-professed "non purple person", I sure have been using a lot of purple lately! Teeheehee! There is just something so beautiful about the Plum Pudding color though...I just can't help myself! I used some DCWV patterned paper and the new 1 Peter 5:7 set (along with some rhinestones, Nestabilities, corner punch, and some ribbon) to create this card.
Well, I have to run. I really hope you all enjoy your day! ~Laurie
very pretty, like the colors in both cards, like the little gem flowers on the tree in the first!

Oh my I couldn't choose a favorite if I had to - they are both fab - and so different from each other - I love that you don't get stuck in a "rut" - happy swim lessons!
