Pearly Sparkles - July, 2025

 The theme is: A shaped Card

I have made a teepee card and decorated it with diecuts from 49 and Market.  Love making these cards, they lay flat for posting, just need a big envelope.  If you click on the photos you will get a clearer photo, not sure if it is my camera or my computer playing around with my photos.

Pearly Sparkles - April, 2025

This month's theme is Monochromatic, as the grandchildren get older , especially for the males, the card making gets more difficult.  I saw this verse, changed it a bit and thought great for a 20 year old.

I also added some some images from my stash and some black ribbon.

Pearly Sparkles - March, 2025

The theme is anything but a Card, I have made a tag to go into my 2025 journa.  Using pieces by 49 and market. (In the leaves Ephemera bits)

The 1st March being our official start of Autumn, I have used Autumn colours.  Noticing the change of season since we moved, we never got alot of Autumn colours, but living closer to the mountains, the leaves are already starting to change and giving us that wonderful Autumn glow.
