I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

Cascading Love

This has to be one of my BEST cards I have EVER made.  It's called a Cascading Card.  I hope you like it.







Stamps used:  Of course...Unity!  The sentiment is from the Hearty Barley kit.  The dotted circle is actually from a grab bag set that I won, so I'm not sure where it came from...but it IS a Unity stamp.

Ink and Glue:  The red ink used for the dots is Blazing Red by StazOn.  The purple ink is from Studio G.  After I stamped the stentiment, I used a purple shimmer pen to write over the letters.  Then I used Candy Cane, Diamond, and Lavender Stickles over the dots and the word LOVE.

Punches and Die Cuts:  Martha Stewart deep punch Flower Doily border, deep punch Heart Lattice border(I cut the hearts out...but this punch comes in single), Pine Branch, Fiskars Flower punch, McGill Butterfly, EKSuccess Lattice, Sizzix Leaf Branches.

Embellishments:  Buttons, The Twinery Twine, Goldtone wire
 
Current Challenges are:  Unity's Friends With Flair,  Simon Says Stamp,
