Kelli was hosting "Paper-crafting Thursday" last week, but I was too busy working on some paper-crafting of my own to post about it until now! So today I thought I'd show you some of what I created over the last several days. These are some hearts/love/valentine/friendship themed cards, since February is rolling around. I think Mom has passed on to me her enjoyment of keeping in touch with and doing special things for girlfriends young and old, especially for Valentine's Day.
The card above I calligraphed with words from 1 Corinthians 13 and embellished with mulberry paper, rubber stamps, and inked edges.
These two stamped cards I created with an attached removable bookmark. I love the sweet little cherry stamp (an oldie of Mom's) that says, "The Love of God Sweet to My Soul."
This is a coordinating set I made from a set of Stampin' Up! cutesy character stamps.
These cold January afternoons have been perfect for getting in some card-making and for adding a few items to my website. The following cards can all be found for purchase at Graceful Designs. Go look also at the other entries to Paper-crafting Thursday.

Hannah,
I think these are your best designs yet! Your calligraphy is gorgeous on that first card. Great work! And I love the detachable bookmark cards--a card and a gift all in one!
The set of stamped cards is great too. You have been very busy!

LindaMay ~ The view in our header was taken from our front porch looking west at the Allegheny Mountains. The Blue Ridge Mountains can be seen looking out our back door! Yes, we love it here in the Shenandoah Valley! :) Thanks for visiting Mountain Musings!

I love the idea of a removable bookmark on the card. Very pretty!
