My 1st Waterfall Card

Let me first say that I got inspiration from so many wonderful waterfall cards that I have seen. I ended up using the directions from Dawn. You can click her name to get to her video instructions on how to make this card. Sorry the pics aren't the best.

Not only is this my first waterfall card, it is actually the first card that I have made without someone specific in mind. So, I'm not sure yet who will receive it, but I hope they like it none the less. I thought it would make a great Happy Fall or Happy Thanksgiving Card.

Details:

Misc. cardstock from my stash

Printed Paper Scraps from the dollar bin at Target

Ribbon from the dollar bin at Target

Making Memories snaps

Crop-A-Dile to punch holes & set the snaps

Heart To Heart Blog Candy

This challenge is on My Blog By Cammie, the post is at Heart To Heart Blog Candy.

This challange was brought to my attention by a fellow Lime Light Design Team Member, Angelique.

Card Details:

Misc. Cardstock & Printed Paper.

Fiskars 3 Design Corner Punch on yellow cardstock.

Heidi Swapp Stamp

Skittles

Liquid Embossing over the stamp

This card is very simple, but I really wanted to get it done. It is for such a great cause - to let others know that they are appreciated. Alzheimer's Caregivers, I'm sure don't always feel that they are. I have not been touched by this disease in anyway. Cammie's story just touched me. And the fact that so many have donated so much for Cammie's cause, that the least I could do was make a card to brighten someone's day.

I will be sending my card to the Altman House. I'm sure they will appreciate everything that Cammie has done to bring this attention to the ones that are sometimes not so appreciated.

Thanks for looking & please visit both, Cammie & Angelique's blogs.

I have started a "Paying It Forward" list on my sidebar to highlight those that are using their crafts to make a difference in the lives of others. The Lime Light is the brainchild of Gracie. It is still in the beginning stages, but in short it is a charitable design team that will be sending cards & crafts for charitable causes or in some cases just to make others feel appreciated & that they are thought about & not forgotten. I am very honored to have been chosen as a member of this design team. Please check out the link to see all of the wonderful members & their blog sites. Please check back often to see what we have been doing. Thanks for looking. Lori

I was so inspired by Angelique's (Sparkofwhimsy) from http://whimsicalinterludes.blogspot.com/ post about "A Spark of Hope" that I wanted to pass on the message.

All you have to do to help in her endevor is to nominate someone that makes a difference in the lives of others. She is starting this as of October 1, 2008. Just remember that each event will close on the 7th & 22nd of each month, so get your nominations in by then.

Happy Birthday Mom

Well, I have not been around for a while. We had Gustave & Ike to worry about. I'm still not totally back to my cardmaking & blogging, but I'm working on it.

I did get my mom's b-day card done & given to her on time & before we had to evacuate. But I am just getting to post it.

Before Katrina my mom had a beautiful butterfly garden. So I knew she would love this card.
Details:
Ladybugs - Doodlecharms, Butterfly Border - Walk In My Garden, Liquid Embossing on the ladybug wings & dots & body of the butterflys, Stamp is from Heidi Swap.

Designing In The Lime Light

First off, I want to thank Gracie from http://everythingcricut.blogspot.com/ for offering up this opportunity. Her blog is one of my favorites, she showcases so much wonderful work. She came up with the idea for a charitable design team & I'm sure had plenty of applications. I am so honored to be a part of this team and I am in wonderful company with all of the other talented Lime Light Designers. Congratulations to all!
