CR84FN52 - Week 2 - Thinking of You!

Welcome Everyone!
It's Week 2 and we are LOVING all of the BEAUTIFUL cards in our CR84FN52 Gallery!  Keep 'Em coming, ladies!  Here's MY second card:


Here is a close-up of the Gorgeous Maya Road velvet flower CARDS Magazine sent me for my January publication!  How did they KNOW that pink velvet was my FAV!  I just HAD to make a card using this GORGEOUS flower!

I also used that tiny silver heart charm sent to me by my FAB blog friend Monika at Igla i Nitka who was a CR84FN Guest Designer.  I bought SEVERAL bookmarks from her, for me and as gifts for my friends, and she included some of these treasures in the package.  How SWEET and talented is she???  I almost hate to use them but this is a Sympathy card for my neighbor who's Father just passed away.  I thought she needed something special.

Hope you like my card!  Check out what the other members of the design team have created to inspire you - they are listed in my sidebar.
THX for stopping by and leaving me a comment!  Have a GREAT week!
