New Home!

My sister, Connie and her husband are moving from their condo to a new home.  My Mother is going to live with them too! They are only moving about 15 minutes away but I am going to miss  them being right next door!    I decided I better practice my " Congrats on your New Home" card making skills.  I love this as a Pocket Card!  I have made it as a flower pot but not as a home.  I used SU's edger for the roof.  The white window surround is from Marianne Design's Birdcage.  I just cut a little out of the middle.  The leaves are from Marianne Design too!  The sentiment on the roof is SU's Well Scripted.  Here is a close-up!
I decided to use Tim Holtz's Easel die to make the card stand up so it can be displayed by the recipent.  I love, love this die!

  3. This is an absolutely wonderful spin-off of the flower pot card...and I NEED a new-home card this week. I'll have to make further adjustments - I don't have the birdcage nor the SU edger (wish I did!) nor Magnolia but I figure something I have here will make-do. Thanks so much for the idea. I'll show you the results (if it works)!

  6. I did finish a CASE but have no address to send a scan to you. I tried including it as an attachment in a comment here and that action isn't offered as an option. But want to thank you for your idea and the pictures to follow. I'm pleased with the outcome and know my niece will be, too! venicepat@hotmail.com
