A weekend spent making cards

(If you're a stamper, info on the supplies used is in my Photo Album.)

This one is E and Mr. A's favorite

This card embodies the colors and feel of Paris for me.

This one also has French flavor.

I love the colors in this card, which are so light and airy and match the sentiment.

My favorite flowers aren't romantic ones like roses or orchids. I prefer earthy sunflowers and black-eyed susans.

What lovely cards. You could absolutely sell these (if you don't already.) "Delight in Life" is so 'you' V-grrrl. Have you noticed it is perfectly color-coordinated with your blog?!

I hadn't noticed the Delight in Life card matched the blog. Very observant of you.

My favorite colors are deep red and earthy greens. I guess the summer version of that is watermelon green and pink!

Beautiful! I'd buy your cards in a heartbeat, althought I am not sure how you bear to part with them at all. Hope all the recipients treasure them. I always put my very favorite cards I've received inside my kitchen cabinets to brighten my day. Ones like yours would always make the cut!

I also love sunflowers and earthy flowers. I have always loved sunflowers.
And I love the Eiffel tower one! I would frame it and hang it in my bedroom...if you are looking to get it off your hands, you may send it to me!
(really. send it to me!)

Wow, those cards look really great! They are beautiful. Uh, I drew a picture of a chicken for Lil' G yesterday. It wasn't quite so nice. : )

LOVE the Paris one. LOVE. Wish that I had some crafty talent!

There are a few stampers in my office and they made the coolest birthday card for my son last year. It really is a cool hobby, just don't tell any of the guys on my softball team I just said that.

Wow! I love the cards Veronica. Great work!

I have never gotten invloved in stamping projects. Seeing those makes me think it through again. They are really nice. I bet friends would LOVE getting that surprise in the mail!
