My KAOS cards...

I lost an entire week of crafting during my recent illness, but I'm back up and running now and feeling oh so much better. When I received my KAOS card from Norma, I was thrilled to have an award that can sit on my desk and I can look at it all the time. If you want information about KAOS cards please check my posting here.

The three people I want to pass this award on to are Julie Price (Stamps Paper Ribbon N Things), Nancy Miller (Nancys Niceities) and Natalie Grantham (ngcards). These sweet gals have blown me away with their crafting talent and encouraging words. It's wonderful to pass the award off to each of you and I hope you'll enjoy it!

One of the nice things about this award is that you don't have to pass it on if you care not to! How easy is that?! But who doesn't want to pass on this kind of blessing - I, for one, just couldn't resist.

Here are my cards...


I captured the idea for these round cards from Bev Rochester's blog. I didn't have the large scalloped edge die so I just made mine plain round. I borrowed the idea for the ribbon and bows from her also, but from there I created my own card. You will notice that I have four cards up there. Well one of them is a thank you card for Norma! I wanted to thank her for sending me the award and doing such a beautiful job on it - right down to a custom envelope made with beautiful paper and sealed with velcro. It was a beautiful sight to see in my mail box!!!

Here are some close ups of each card. These images are available from Diana on her Magnolia-licious online store.

This one is #3039 LONGING TILDA. I used scrap paper for each of my cards so I have no idea who the maker of the paper is. I added a small cluster of paper roses and curlycues, seam binding and some pearls around the scallop. The letters were purchased for this project and are popped up on pop dots. Cardstock is SU Bravo Burgundy, Xpress It Blending card and Bazzill white.



Here is #266 TILDA ON ELBOWS. I used more flowers, SU Pumpkin Pie Ribbon and Ballet Blue Cardstock.



Here is #3039 LONGING TILDA again. This time I used SU Cranberry Crisp, Magnolia Strawberry dp, white seam binding, SU Bravo Burgundy 1/4 grosgrain ribbon and white pearls


This is my thank you card for Norma. Again I used #266 TILDA ON ELBOWS and dressed Tilda completely in pink. I use more SU 5/8" grosgrain ribbon and card stock in Regal Rose. The pink pearls are from my stash and the thank you sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe.

I used the following copics:

Skin - E00,000,0000,11 and chalk for the cheeks
Hair - E35,Y26,21, E25,27,53,C9,7,5,3,
Clothing - G24,40,82; B21,93,95; R39,59,46,81,83,89
Wings were done with Waterfall and Fruit Punch Stickles.

Blessing,
