Birthday Card for a Friend

 I Made the above card for a friend's birthday, and along with the card I'm giving her the above bracelet.
The Stamp I used is from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I colored the dress with copics.
Some more bracelets that I made...

It's hard for me to believe that it's been four months since I have posted to my blog.  (I almost forgot how to do it...smile)
I also think that this is the longest I have gone without creating a card in over 10 years.  And, yes, I almost forgot how to make a card...   As you can see by the above bracelets that I made...I have doing more Jewelry making than cards.

I wish I could say that I have been absent because I went on a fabulous vacation some where...NOT!  In fact, Jim and I did not get away for even ONE DAY!  Hopefully, that will change soon.

Jim and I have both been having some medical issues, but things seem to be going better, so hopefully, I will be posting more and be able to get around and visit blogs....

Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer...
And a Happy day...

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.
It means that you've decided to look beyond the
imperfections.

  2. That vintage party dress is so pretty, as is your card! It's funny, I have several friends who have really cut back on their card making in favor of beading and jewelry making. I did some beading MANY years ago and wouldn't mind trying it again, it's very relaxing :)

  3. What a pretty card Jill, and your jewelry looks fabulous. Sorry to hear you have had health issues - I knew Jim had done himself a mischief, but did not know you were poorly :-(. Praying that both of you recover fully, and can have a wee break.
    Blessings

  8. Your card and bracelets are beautiful! I have never tried to make jewelry so these look amazing to me! So sorry to read that you've been having medical issues and I hope they resolve themselves soon so you can enjoy the rest of the summer and maybe enjoy a day trip with your hubby.

  9. Wonderful bracelets and cards, Jill! Love the colors and details on them both - beautiful!

    I could relate to everything you said here - I have not made as many cards, posted as much, or gone anywhere interesting either. I have spent time doing another hobby and Kenny and I have had some medical issues too. I have gotten better, but Kenny is taking a lot longer to heal from his surgery than we thought. It is very frustrating!

    Many hugz to you and Jim!
