You make my Heart Flutter

Just a quick post. I have been having a terrible time with my computer and I seem to have a bit of a block for new projects. At least I have this sweet little card I made for Valentine's Day. I embossed this butterfly with glittery embossing powder. It is such a pretty creature and the sparkle makes this card. I love this stamp from CTMH it is the stamp of the month this month which means that it will not be available after this month. I think this paper is the "That's Amore" kit from CTMH, of course I don't have any of this stuff by me so I can't check. lol. The ribbon is from the dollar store and I have to say it is one of my favorite "frilly" ribbons. The brads are regular brads that I heated with my heat gun and dipped in glittery embossing powder. This technique is great for making custom brads... I feel another tutorial coming on...

Bye for now...

Goodbye To a Friend

My dear friend Elaine lost her Husband David only seven short weeks after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. He was a kind and loving friend, father, grandfather and great grand father. Elaine and I have been scrapbooking friends for almost 3 years. We have learned a lot from each other and we have become great friends despite the age difference. David would always come out and help us in with our bags when we came to scrap at their house. He would chat with us and sneak some treats that Elaine prepared from the kitchen. If it was winter he would come out and brush off our cars and once he even started them for us so they would be warm when we left. He was the ultimate gentleman and the love that he and Elaine shared was truly inspiring.

Here's to you David!! See you again someday.
