Mom and her Sisters


here i did a layout of all the sisters together at my dads funeral 4 years ago. this is my mom and her sisters. 2 of them came from west virginia and 1 lives in east canton as does my mom. I cut the cardstock in 3 equal widths. put them at an angle. the flowers I traced from a paperwishes template and cut out and folded. and then i put a clear button on each one. the letter i traced out and cut my hand also and then I used a white gel pen from stampin up and whent around the cardstock and the letters for pop.

Fall card Fold




I seen this card done on a blog that I go to all the time. here is the blog i go to so you can see her do the card yourself. http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com
when i seen this card i just had to try it out myself. so here is my version. all cardstock is from Hollo's, inks used so saffron(stampin up), orange(vivid),ancient page, markers for the flowers. ribbon is from Michaels I believe. corner rounder is from fiskars.
rounding the corners is the only difference i did on the card on mine as i thought it would be neat to do it that way.
