Hey there, we had a busy weekend...which means not much crafting for me this weekend, but I do have cards to share that I made a few weeks ago! For each card I embossed the back panel with my PTI linen impression plate, made banners with yummy patterned papers and stitched them onto the white panel. I then added a sentiment panel and a few buttons and the cards were finished. I really love both of them!
One of the reasons we were busy (in addition to Ryan's confirmation retreat, a birthday party for Collin's friend, show choir and baseball practice!) was a 15k that my friend Katie and I ran in on Sunday morning. We're training for a 1/2 marathon in early May...and let me tell you after the 9 miles yesterday, I've got by work cut out for me! I took a big long nap after the run. Here we are pre-race!

Beautiful cards, and congrats on the run!
You sound busy! Busy but happy - a good way to be! Love, love, love these two cards, Lynn! Can't pick a fave - they are both so beautiful!
wow!! You sure know how to pack a lot into a weekend!! LOVE those cards and am thinking it's your fabulous camera that lets us see the linen impression...it's very hard to see it when I take photos. Do you use a crease pad or 2 tanning mats? LOVE the half and half dies and the stitching on those banners!!
LOVE both cards!! Each has its own lovely elements! Way to go on the run! Very inspiring you are, Lynn!
That sounds a busy busy weekend. Congrats on your 15k!
Both cards are beautiful.
I love both of these Lynn, but especially the one with aqua tones! The wonky stitching just makes me happy. Congrats on completing the 15K!
I love the combination of the patterned papers that you chose to work with on BOTH cards. And that linen IP gives it that bit of texture that is nice. Great job! Can't believe you ran those 9 miles - WOW! Good luck as you continue to train.
I love both takes on this sketch, Lynn! The stitching is fabulous and as you know, I adore your work with that linen plate! LOL!
Oooh congrats on the run! What an achievement!
Hugs!
