Be Yourself Steampunk and Smile Pick-Up Truck Card

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a card I created for a very special young man.  He is autistic and loves getting cards in the mail, so I created Landon two cards  The inside sentiment on this card reads "Be yourself as an original is far more valuable than a copy."  I really liked this quote with the variety of Tim Holtz vintage dolls on the front of it.  

Landon is a very happy guy, so I also wanted to make him this cute "Smile Pick-Up Truck card.  You can't help but smile at this card!

Hello Love Shadow Box

Hi Friends, I'm so thrilled to be a a part of Finishing School and loved Anna's Griffin's tutorial on creating this amazing shadow box. I'm new to the elegant world of AG, so I didn't have the Treillage Embellishments that really made this box special. I originally thought I would create hand flowers so while searching my stash of AG dies, I stopped on the hydrangea die. I thought it was the perfect die to create foliage for trees, instead of flowers, and that is how the "forest" was born. I loved how much color and dimension the forest brought to the design. I'm so happy about how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it also! Here's a few more close ups:
