Wishes and Lollipops

I just LOVE Close To My Heart's new card making how-to book, Wishes. I played today and made 4 cards in about an hour (OK, so I made the lollipop flowers yesterday). By the way, if you are interested in making Lollipop Roses, just scroll down the left side of my blog until you get to "labels" and then click on "Lollipop Roses". It will take you to a post from April that includes a written tutorial.

• 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card using the "On the Edge" pattern on page 53 of Wishes.

One Last Tinkerin' Card

One last Tinkerin' card for today. This one is for my son, Easton. As you probably know from many of my previous posts, he is on a mission for our church. He is having minor surgery tomorrow morning and I made this little card to send him to say, "We love you and are thinking of you." I hope he likes it!
