My Sweet Mother-in-law

I often hear jokes about mothers in law,,,,,,,most of them are funny,,,,,,but usually represent mothers in law who are less than desirable LOL. I am happy to report that I have been married to my mother in law's son for 29 years,,,and I've never had occasion to regret having her for a mother in law!  She's a wonderful woman, and extremely generous.

She was especially so this month and did something very nice for my husband and I,,,,,,,,and so, of course, I had to make a thank you card,,,,,,

Here it is!

Card Recipe:
Papers: Fancy Pants
Stamps: vintage digi image from my stash/Justrite Just the Right Words Set
Inks: Versafine Onyx Black
Dies: Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles, Eyelet Pendants/MFT mini rolled roses/Memory Box Lorelai Outline leaf, elegant scrollwork, iron gate
Pearls, ribbon, corner piece: my stash

I hope you enjoyed the card, and thanks for looking,,,,,,,,,,,

Bonjour!!!

Good Afternoon!!!!  I've always been fascinated with anything French,,,,,,I took 8 years of it in school, and I've been a travel agent and had the opportunity to go many times,,and I am totally in love with Paris!! And I was lucky enough to win the grand prize at Simon Says Stamp this past week and win 50.00 worth of goodies! I scored some Paris themed Just Rite stamps and SEVERAL Memory Box dies,,,,,,love them!

Today the mail came and I just had so much fun playing with stamps and dies!!!!  I knew I wanted to do another entry for the Justrite Friday Challenge, "Charm Me" so off I went to play with my new Justrite stamps, Au Revoir.

Here's what I came up with!

I created a little collage with several of the stamps in the set and added a pop of color with some red ink,,,,,,,,the dies I used for this card are spellbinders postage stamps and Romantic rectangles, and Memory box Lorelai Outline Leaf, Elegant Scrollwork, and Wrought Iron Gate.  I added a heart charm to a sheer black bow, and finished off with two stick pins and a sparkly button.

Here's a close up of the stamps and the bow cluster, including the heart charm,,,,,,

The inks I used to stamp with are ColorBox Cranberry, and Versafine Onyx Black and Vintage Sepia.

Thanks for  looking, and I hope you enjoyed the card!!!!
