Karate Thank You




My Karate Club held a summer camp over the past couple of weeks and we needed a thank you card for someone who helped us a lot by acting as out rugby coach. Here's what I came up with. I printed the image from my computer's Clip Art, and I added some interest by cutting out the image using my Nestabilities dies. I also created some texture with one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders. Inside I added a picture of the kids as a reminder for the coach.

Hand made paper flower







I'm always looking for inspiration on the web - I was thrilled when I came across a tutorial for making this flower on You Tube. It was created by Jen Lowe of Jen Lowe Designs. Here's the link in case you want to learn how.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq13kni7eBA

Anniversary Card




This one is special - for a friend who is celebrating his second anniversary - he wanted something nice for his wife. I was stumped - and finally got some inspiration from Amy Sheffer at Pickled Paper Designs - I love her stuff! Here is the link to her blog

Graduation Season


It's graduation season! I made this card using the Cricut, Cuttlebug to add texture to the background - and some dimensional stickers.

Sympathy Card


A simple card - but I thought it was just right for the occasion. I've been making a lot of over sized cards recently - it gives me more room to play with the designs. This one measures 6X8 inches. I cut out the sentiment with my Cricut, and that's a dough calla lily to complete the front. It comes in a matching gift box to protect the delicate flower on the front.

I'm back! Finally!


It's been a while - I've been back to work and just haven't had the time to be on my blog. But I've been making some projects that I'd like to share.
This is a thank you card I made for someone. I did it using my Cuttlebug and Nestbilities dies - some pretty patterned paper I had lying around and a pink ribbon. And of course a few pearls to add some pizzaz!
