Bless you

This RAK card is for a man who has severe health problems, but his faith is a big help to him.  I hope it will encourage him.  The Scripture is a digi, and the sentiment was sent to me.  I used a Halloween scene (Sizzix) for the tree, and covered the pumpkin with the sentiment.  The green cs and DP are from Amuse.  I cut the corners with edging scissors - used an inverted scallop.

For Maci, a special 8 year old

I saw this information a bit late, but still want to make a card to send to a special girl.  Maci will be 8 on the 20th.  She is the daughter of one of the wounded veterans who was killed in a tragic accident during a
parade last November.  (See the Graphicat link for more details and how to get the address if you want to send a belated card.)
I used this House Mouse image - what 8 year old does not want to play dress up?  The sentiment is part of a freebie from Graphicat.  I cut bits of Debbie Mumm DP - another case of DP I really like that is quite difficult to use.  I chose springy colors, including the purple bg.  The card is 4.5x6, and there will be a birthday sentiment inside.

See previous posts for additional information.  I added a bit of color (Recollection tape) and some crystals.

ACAD - Birthday in turquoise

I posted a weekly challenge on the Card a Day Blog thread on SCS - to use items from our stash.
I colored this flower at least a year ago - I often color images while sitting at our RV park craft shows. It gives me something to do, and I have found another bonus - I can show people that I actually create my cards - they are not from a purchased computer card program.  Can you tell that is a pet peeve?
In addition, I have had this ribbon for a while - as well as the cs and dp.
The embossing folders are Cuttlebug.  The flower is Hampton Arts.  I used Coredination for the embossing - but I did mess up and embossed the wrong side, so the color does not show through this way.  I clipped the image corners with scallop edging scissors.

A friendly Mouse

I have had this House Mouse image for a while. a gift from an SCS friend.  I am not sure what is being served, but I put  it in a gold bowl.  I colored with Prismas, used some gold from a recycled envelope, DCWV plaid, Script EF, Shapeabilities swirl, and Martha Stewart sticky tape.
