Big Change

Some very good friends have just made a big change in their lives.  They sold their house in MN and drove across country, much of the drive on Route 66 to take possession of a house in San Diego.  The house needs a lot of work - roof, electrical work and plumbing and at the moment it is chaotic and she aches from head to toe with all the sorting out etc. etc.  It will be great when it is sorted and the sun is shining and I know they will love not having to spend the winter shovelling snow.

I made this card originally to get to them in their first week but that is up today and it only made the mail in the UK this morning!  The card is a flip or swing style card.

The houses and the snowflakes on this first side are stamped with stamps from Chocolate Baroque.  The MN was stamped using Just Rite stamps.

The houses are stamped with stamps from Chocolate Baroque and the sun and sentiment are from Verve.  The CA was stamped using Just Rite stamps. 

I hope they like this card and will be happy in their new home, and that we get to visit one day!

OK so this was a bit of an experiment.  I ordered the Just Rite border stamps and a friend in the USA brought them over when she visited.

I thought I would only use them for borders and probably would not spend time colouring all the details but then this card came into my head!  The butterfly and sentiment are from Marks Finest Papers and the central panel is made with the border stamp stamped twice.

The butterfly was covered with glitter for a nice girlie sparkle

Thank you for fluttering by.
