Stamp Time for May

Here are the cards we are making at Stamp Time this month. I think they will be fun and I always look forward to the different variations of my design. Everyone is so talented. I love sharing the ideas I learn from others. Anyway, here they are!


This last card, I call a Peek-a-boo Card because when you open it the flower disappears and the sentiment slides into the window. Kind of fun!

With Sympathy

Yesterday a dear lady and friend died and went to meet her Savior after a short battle with a fast moving cancer. Sandy was my church's small group leader for ALL of our Recovery small groups and a mentor for many. Though her smile and spirit have left this world I know that Heaven has gained a wonderful addition and her smile and spirit lives on!


Here is the card I made for her.
