Cards for a Swap!

I am hosting a swap and meeting with my monthly group of girls. Here are two of the cards that we are making.




This is an easel card. My first time making it.-Didn't turn out that bad.




Playing Catch up

I haven't written in a while so I am trying to play catch up.
This is the inside back of an accordion card. An invitation to a Beach Party.


Inside the card, when you open it up.

The front of the card. I really like making accordion cards and have made many for different occasions.

Inside of a Mother's Day card that I made for a friend.

A beautiful Spring Day!

It is a beautiful Spring day here and guess what? I am just down(no reason) just one of those days. So to perk myself up, I went down to the craft room to create. Here is what I came up with, even though I am not that inspired today.

Playing with Copics and Penny Black. This guy made me smile.
This was a pattern from somewhere and I thought I would create a Beach Tote, eventually I will fill it with beach theme cards.
Playing with House Mouse but the camera got a glare.
I like Stampscapes but here is just the scene, I haven't turned it inot a card yet. There is no glare on this picture, I purposely left a white area to make it look like the sun was hitting off the trees.

It's been awhile

It's been a while since I have posted. Life has been pretty busy. Last sunday, my friend Janet came over and taught me how to use Copics, I have been practicing quite a bit. She also taught me tricks with the camera, so I hope the cards are clearer now and how to paper piece. Can't wait until she is back again.A good friend. This is why I haven't been making cards.





His name is Winston and he is 7 months old! I already own 2 8 yr old dachshund's and 3 cats, so life has been hectic.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone. I hope that your day was filled with chocolate or any other gooey treat that you may enjoy.



This was my Easter card for my Mother in law. It was CASE'd from Michelle Zindorff's blog(who does amazing work) I am trying to get better shots with the camera, it seems to be a learning curve.


Easter card for my mom


Last night, we had a birthday party for my aunt, any occasion for a card, here is her birthday card.

New stamps!



I finally found some time to try to make a tri-shutter card. I have seen some great looking cards and have felt intimidated to try it, but I took the plunge and have been enjoying this technique.
