Busy, Busy, having fun making cards

I wish I could take full credit for this card because I think it is so beautiful but about 50% of it I cased from Maria Vanderform from LNS.  After I seen her card I just had to recreate one because I just fell in love with it.  Am I giving my age away by saying I am a flower girl and love flower power?  What do you think don't you just love it?

These two pictures are of the new one inch envelope punch.  I had some small erasors so I made one for each of my grand kids as a surprise.  The one in the back on the left is for Mariah.  Her's had a watermelon slice erasor in it.  In the center was one for her brother Alex and his had a socker ball in it.  Then the one on the right was for Isaac and his had a basketball inside.  This picture is of the front side of them.  The next picture is of the back side of each one.

Well this was a long post but hope you enjoyed my cards.  Let me know what you think.  I am still having computer problems so will post when I can, have a good one, see ya.
