 These cards were fun to make today in Stamping class! The first card was made using Layers of Beauty bundle with coordinating masks (stencils). The second card was made with the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder the last card was made with Wild Ferns with Elements of Text.

Deb used the Layers of Beauty bundle on a scrapbook page that was stunning!

Here are some additonal samples made with the same stamp sets.

Last Card Ministry

 I've lead the Card Ministry at our church for 14 years and, sadly, it has come to an end. This will be our last meeting. It's given me great joy to share this craft with others as we created cards that brought smiles to so many faces. The ladies who were part of the team are dear friends!
