Anniversary Booklet

I did this one for a friend's in-laws. It was a bit difficult to shoot one page at a time because it's bound at the top, so we shot two pages at a time.

Wedding Invitations

A friend of mine recruited me to make the invitations for her son's wedding. I did a few samples for them to choose from. I love them all - I'll let you know which one they eventually choose....

Pink and green birthday card

Here's a simple card I made recently. I had the pink and green ribbon for ages, so when a friend of mine asked me to make a card using pink and green, I knew it wasd the right time to break out my unused ribbon. I used my Cuttlebug swiss dot folder to add texture to front of the card, which I cut out using Nestabilities labels die. I added some bling with Stickles on the Happy Birthday sentiment. The papers are from my collection.

Love in Bloom

Here's a sparkly wedding card I was experimenting with - I used embossing with pigment powders, Stickles to add a bit of sparkle to flowers and butterflies I cut out using some of my craft punches, and of course lots of jewels and pearls. I wanted to create the effect of cascading blossoms in a garden. The sentiment is stamped in gold from See-Ds that I've had for a long time, but never tried.

Another one!

I also borrowed from Crafter's Kitchen for the background paper for this one. Love those papers! The blossom is another freebie - this time from "Fred She said" - lovely isn't it? The "Mom" is cut using my Cricut - I added a bit of ribbon as well for some drama. Card is oversized as well - 6X8 - a new size for me. I love working with this size - of course it comes with a gift box to protect it.

Mother's Day

Almost time to go back to work - been off for a while getting some rest. I'm using my last few hours making a few last minute Mother's Day cards. Here's one I did using Jak Heath's instructions for handmade, hand-painted flowers on her blog "Crafter's Kitchen". Thanks a million! It worked brilliantly. I increased the size of the flower and the oversized bloom is quite dramatic - paper and sentiment from a selection I was just waiting to use.
