This is me....

My Photo
I'm a person of wide interest. I like doing a lot of things but I'm a master at none. Right now I'm having so much fun making cards to share with my friends and family ....There are so many wonderful designers out there and the creativity of each one is so incredible. Im currently taking a painting class working with acrylic paints. I have a loving family...Married to the same wonderful man for over 31 years. I have three grown children and one beautiful grandaughter(who also shares my love of crafting).

Three D image


I found this cute image at this Etsy store here on this site called Piddix... And I used a tutorial that I found on you tube here
The paper I used was paper that I have had for long time. I did get a new Martha Stewart punch this past weekend...Its so cute with those little rabbits in the grass
and I also used one of her punches to make the flower This was lots of fun to do.You really have to be careful of the placement when you put it together ...The rabbits ears are a little off...Oh well it still looks cute ..And I'm sure the recipient will love it.
Have a wonderful day !!
