craft cards

   its been a long time since i stepped in my craft room. i was in the dominican republic for a medical mission for mariposa international last month and since then been too busy catching up at home. work has been hectic, too. worked straight this week. was too tired to sleep last night and when i finally slept, i woke up early and so i decided to go to my craft room and maybe unwind. i saw my new stamps from papertreyink and decided to make some cards. i challenged myself with craft paper. i am not usually a "brown" color fan but decided to give it a try...i love the new roses stamps from papertreyink, sweet life. roses are my favorite. too bad the ones i planted 2 months ago are almost burnt from the intense desert heat here in az...anyways, i came up with 3 simple cards this morning. hope you like it...
