Today my mom and myself will be going out and visting our church family that are in the hospital WOW we have alot of dear ones that are not doing well .. I made these cards as soon as I got home last night from church so we can hand deliver them today on our vists 
… The cards are all simple in design . I did use stazon on with the watercolored CS with reinkers and the aqua painter to color in the images , the Canas BG was used on the base card with lavender lace & lt blue gingham ribbon was added to finshed them all up and I did make 2 others but my photo didnt turn out of those .. But these 2 photos did turn out of the 3 batches I made last night 
.. Of course these 2 are lavender lace and of course I added lots of glitter ..

I am new to your blog, I have to say that I have enjoyed reading everything, and trying new things.

I think the big announcement on SCS will be either you are becoming a member of the “dirty dozen” or you are going to have a tutorial on the weekly inkling. I know you deserve both!!!! You are great!!!
