Just Because, Birthday, Mother, etc

Boy is it snowing today, which makes it a perfect day to be in my craft room! Somehow you don't feel guilty holing up in your craft room if the weather is horrible. Kind of gives you an excuse.

My first card today is Mother. I liked the simplicity of this card. Just one piece of cardstock, one piece of patterned paper, ribbon and a button. Easy on the pocketbook, but looks very pretty!

Card is 5 1/2 X 4 1/4

Supplies used: cardstock - coral; patterned paper - madras in Silk Road by SEI; sentiment Squigglefly; ribbon - Michaels; button - my stash; corner rounder - Fiskars


My second choice for a card today is Doily Thank You. I picked it because I had some beautiful paper by SEI that had a similar image. I thought it would make a striking card.

Supplies used: cardstock - oasis in Oasis by SEI; patterned paper - sichuan in Oasis by SEI; rhinestones - Kaiser Craft: rub on - SEI; corner rounder - Fiskars


The third card I picked is Elegant Just Because, which I picked just because it was elegant.
