working my way back

Been doing some stamping to get ready for my hostess club this weekend, so trying to find my way back from the sadness of loss. Getting a little better day by day - I have been able to feel very grateful that my sweet Maggie girl was able to share so many wonderful years with me. She was really a blessing in my life and will always be in my heart.

Anyway, this is not one of my hostess club cards (LOL!) but another one of the cards that I made for my mom's card box/tin. Once again, I was inspired by atomicbutterfly on SCS - you can see her card here.

I really do like a lot of her creations. Could ya tell?! Getting harder to remember what all I used making those cards several months ago, but I'll give it my best shot. One thing - the flowers have Crystal Effects and glitter on them although its a bit hard to tell from the pic.
