3x3 Ready for Delivery!

Have you ever created an embarrassing post? Well, here goes, ... now, let me clarify a bit ~ the cards I created are not embarrassing, but it's the camera shots I took of these sweet 3x3 cards! I create cards for a local store here in the city, and as I was packaging the cards and getting ready for delivery, I realized that I didn't take any pictures before I placed each card in the clear envelopes.  And now today, I realized that I wanted to share some of the cards that I created, so here we go!  I humbly submit these pictures of a few of the cards ~ I hope you enjoy!!! ~ I sure hope you're able to look past the glare of the clear envelopes ~                                            don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions  Thanks so much for popping by today ~ have a blessed day!  Shop on line in the comfort of yo...

To a Wild Rose

 What a fun evening of creating with some beautiful ladies ~ I love my girls and love how friendships naturally happen around the table as we chat, laugh and create together ~ this is such a blessing for me to be apart of an amazing group of creative gals  We got busy creating with the fabulous To a Wild Rose stamp set and this is what the girls all went home with last night ~ the sentiments on many of the cards are different, but this is a picture of two of my cards ~ and very sadly, I need the sympathy card for today ~ glad I had this one created as I don't enjoy creating a sympathy card when it's needed ~ I alway try to have a stash on hand ~ sorry about the terrible picture, but I didn't have time to take a better shot of this as I'm not running out the door  ~ Same card, different sentiment ~ and here are the instructions that I created for class, all the girls get an instruction sheet and they tuck them into a binder once they get home! ...
