Z Folds

I've had so much fun today, making some Z-fold cards.  I think that these and the Gate-Folds are my favorites, so many interesting areas to decorate.  This is my Mother's Day card.  Yes, I'm early.  Can't help it.  I start planning and then I just have to get it done!  I'm a little bit obsessive that way.  Anyway, I think my mom will like it, that's what counts (or is it the fun I have in creating it?), lol.

The colors on my card are dark and light purple and orchid, all Core'dinations Gemstone.  Love that cardstock!  Over those is a wonderful white on white with touches of silver from Joann's Fabrics and Crafts.  The stickers are Jolee's which are always fun to use, and the flourish and double row of pearls on the orchid cardstock are Recollections.

Thanks for visiting me!  And have fun with your creations...  It's good for your soul!

Mother's Day

Well, I still have one more Easter card to show you, but it was just mailed today, so I'll save it for a couple more days before I share it with you. Meanwhile, I have already made my Mother's Day card. It turned out to be really easy after I found the Meow cartridge at Joann's today. I didn't mean to buy anything, but I just had to have it! My mother and all the rest of my family are cat lovers, big time. I think my mom will love this card! I do, even more when they're made of paper. I have one cat, which is enough for all of us.

The background paper I is from a DCWV mat stack, Taj Mahal. The mother cat is from another mat stack called Safari, and the kittens are from a package of American Crafts textured neutral cardstock. I didn't have green jewels like those I used for the mother's eyes, so I ended up using a permanent marker to color some little adhesive silver beads.

I''m really looking forward to making more things from Meow. There are a lot of cute images! I suppose I should finish graduation and wedding cards first. Then the baby album. There isn't enough crafting time in my world. Oh, but I have a 4 day weekend over Easter! Maybe I can make a good dent in that list. I have an idea for a Christmas card that I'd like to try also. I think I could craft all day!

We still haven't seen hide nor hair of Spring yet. I got an e-mail that said we weren't having Spring this year. Sure hope it's a joke...

Have a great day!
