I've been crafting up a storm the past few days - and among the finished cards (wahey me - finished cards!) I have two favourite flower-y cards.

The first is a distressed look - with one of my favourite (well for now!) stamp sayings - "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain." I got to use up some leftover scrap card for the flowers and play with my new Crop-a-Dile!

The second card is for my god-daughter's 17th birthday and had me crafting up a storm today as her birthday is tomorrow! It's an exploding box and I think she'll like it.

There's a bit of detail on how I made it on my blog if anyone is interested.

Thanks for looking -- it's so nice to have like minded people to share this obsession with!!

Amazing folding box. Love the saying on the first card, is it a Tim Holtz stamp?

Great projects but particularly love the exploding one, the numbers are so funky sitting up like that.

Thanks so much to everyone for the kind words!!

The exploding birthday card/box was VERY well received - she had tears in her eyes when she opened it. Makes all the effort worthwhile. :)
