80 years young

My little niece, Emma, made 10 today. My youthful Mama makes 80 on Friday! There will be a PARTAY going on as soon as her nieces, Pat and Judy, arrive in New Orleans tomorrow via Southwest airlines all the way from her hometown of Rochelle, Illinois. I forgot to take a picture of Emma's "wallet" card I sent her but here is Mama's tri-fold card:

Happy Birthday Lisa

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday. She is married to my brother, Mark. Happy Birthday Lisa. We love you.
I added prima flowers to the front of her card after I took these pictures because I thought it needed it.

Tri-Shutter Card

I made two more tri-fold shutter cards that were featured on Split Coast Stamper's challenge "try a new technique" Monday. They copied the idea from Craftiblog.



I went to a crawfish boil "Open House" on Memorial Day at Rhett's new house.

Welcome Home

It has been a long, hard road home for many, many people I know after Hurricane Katrina to either rebuild their home, build a new home, or purchase an existing home. One very special person, in particular, just happened a week ago - my dear nephew, Rhett. Here are just a few "Welcome Home" cards I've made recently.
