This first card I used Wishes pattern Roundabout on pg. 61.  This is a 8x3.5 card.  This is all made from just cardstock.  I used Cocoa, Desert Sand and Twilight.  My favorite color combo!!  The inks I used were Cocoa and Barn Red.  For the argyle I stamped in cocoa ink on the cocoa cardstock.  The desert sand cardstock is sponged with cocoa ink.  The words were stamped with the barn red ink.  I distressed the cardstock and then sponged the edges.  For the watch I used cocoa embossing powder to give my card a different look. 

This 2nd card I used pg. 39 "Corner Shop" in the Wishes card program.  This is a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 card.  I used desert sand cardstock for the base, outdoor denim cardstock and barn red cardstock.  The pattern paper is from the Back Country paper pack.  Love this paper pack!!  The words are stamped in Outdoor denim.  I used outdoor denim and olive bigger brads in the corners.  I used desert sand ink for the distressing.  I also used my litte distressing tool for the edges.

Mother's Day Card

This card I made for my sister in law who is expecting their first child by adoption any day now.  Even though they don't have their son yet I still considered it her first Mother's Day.

I used Blush cardstock and random stamped it.  I also used the Amore' paper pack.  I used blush, sweet leaf and heavenly blue markers.  The stamp set is Ms. On the Go.  I thought that it was perfect for this occaision.  I cut out the mom and the baby carriage and pop dotted so it stood out.  This is a clear card.
