Hope

"Never give up Hope" can be used in so many ways.  For the struggling teenager, the sick or the person struggling with every day affairs.  It is a phrase that I use quite often.

I used my computer to print "Never give up Hope" on white card stock.

Then I placed it on mint green Recollections card stock.

Added a Inkadinkadoo stamp set and some rhinestones from Michaels.

Spring Flowers

This is my first attempt at making a shaped card.  Thought a flower would be best since it is now Spring.
I used George and the Basic Shapes to cut the flowers.
I put lace behind the purple petals and placed them on the yellow card stock.
Then I looped some pink ribbon over each petal and placed a flower with a pearl in the center.

Easter Layout

This was a fun Easter layout to do.  Easter egg hunts are always a lot of fun in our family since there are lots of kids.
I used polka dotted card stock from AC Moore.
I used Tear Drop, Nate's ABC's and George and the Basic Shapes Cricut cartridges.
The Easter Blessings is a digital printable from Paper Crafting World.
Flower, ribbon and gem butterflies are from Michaels.
