I'm just popping in quick to share with you some cards I made for birthdays this month. The above card uses Sugar Pea dies and paper. I gave this card to my good friend, Dorothy.
Next up is a bday card for my sis...
Cecilia, Lucretia, Donna, and me
And, for my last card to my friend, Kathy...
Kathy loves cats! So, I came up with another shaker card. At one time I thought shaker cards were too difficult to make. But, now I love making them! The cats are from SSS. Sequins are from Paper Sweeties.
Ok, I need to get back to things around here. I did lots of baking yesterday and made a couple of deliveries of the goodies this morning. Now it's clean up time!:-) Oh, before I go....one more photo...
Our dog, Shadow, who loves the snow!
More snow on the way for tonight. Shadow
is happy, but I'm not...lol!
Ok, that's all for now. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Maria
Lovely cards, Maria. I've never tried a shaker card--should put that on my list! Send some of that snow this way. We've only had a coating the other day. Tonight, snow is expected but changing to rain tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMaria, all of your cards are festively delightful! :) What a blessing they will forever be to your friends and family. I have missed your cards and am so happy to be back to visiting. :) I love the pictures you included... your posts always make me smile. I love how close your family is.. that is truly an extra special blessing. Thank you for sticking with me while I was away for so long. You are a treasure. Have a beautiful weekend, my lovely friend!

All of these cards are gorgeous Maria - I love shakers!
ReplyDeleteOh I am loving all of your fun shaker cards!!! I think my favorite is those kitties! And your dog is adorable in the snow! I have a little dog and she hates rain and snow!
ReplyDeleteMaria this is such a fun post to see and read. I love your cards; both are lovely! And a fab photo of you and your sisters. We are lucky to have no snow; I hate the slippery roads. Although the view is always specatacular when eveything is covered in snow.
ReplyDeleteStay warm; hugs!
What wonderful cards, Maria! Each one is vibrant and fun. I agree, shakers aren't intimidating anymore. So fun to see you with your sisters and your pup in the snow. I think we got more than a foot of snow this weekend!
