Some things I did this weekend

Today I needed to have some down time so I created 2 cards and 1 layout and it has helped from a heck tick week.
I followed no sketches only the ideas in my mind of things I wanted to try out and now think will use more.
Here is my layout:

Below are the special touches I did to add to the layout.  I made flowers out of old patterns, added some bling, added a journal card in a craft bag and then put some lace trim on the bottom of that.  The paper is from the Urban Garden Collection.  This is my son's Grandmother who is very special to us and I just love this picture of her.

Now here is a card I tried:

I had this chipboard and decided to wrap some twine around it to make a flower.  I have seen this months ago and wanted to try it and you know how I always need birthday cards.

My last card is made using of my favorite paper scraps from other things I have done.  I absolutely love this paper from My Mind's Eye -- Stella Rose and am hoping I never run out of it, but I know it will happen soon.

That's all for this weekend, and hope you enjoy this.
