Card-making, merry-making

I couldn't resist. I was inspired by Scarlett at Blue, Purple, and Scarlett and her beautiful cards and just had to go try some of my own. Ok, ok, I know I'm not anywhere near as good as she is, I mean wow! But I wanted some card-making fun anyway.

So, here's what I did:

First I found some colors and patterns that I liked.


I measured everything to scale and to make sure it was centered.


Then I cut up the papers and pasted them together.


Added some embellishments


Until I thought it would do.




Hope you're all having a wonderful day!

    home made cards are so much more personal than shop bought, i've always made my own.
