My Sister's Birthday Card

I purchased this image and decided it needed to be distressed. I crumpled the picture and roughed up the edges then added flower soft to the girl's flower basket. I also used Core'dinations Whitewash cardstock behind it - crumpling and distressing the edges of that as well as running a sanding block over it to bring out the color a little more. "Forever Young" is a vellum phrase that I added by running it through my Xyron "X" Sticker Maker.

Needless to say, my sister loved the card!

90th Birthday Card

A friend asked me to make a birthday card for her uncle who was turning 90.  WOW! Where do I even begin???  Well I had seen an idea long these lines out there some where and decided to find a car image and go from there.  She loved it and so did everyone else! WHEW!

For my little Valentine

This is the card I made for my little 2nd grade pen pal. She's such a sweetie! I love how the bee can be colored in so many different ways and still look darling! Hope you enjoy!

Almost Valentine's Day


A friend asked me to make a few Valentine's Day cards that she and her husband could send to their 2nd grade pen-pals.  I love this little bee.  It's perfect for many occasions! The top card will be sent to a little boy and the bottom obviously to a girl. I think the kids will be thrilled - they love to get mail!

Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Bear

A dear lady recently passed away from non-hodgkins lymphoma. I made this bear and enclosed it in the sympathy card to the family. Rest in peace, Cindy.

Pop-Up Birthday Card


A while back Diane at Capadiadesigns posted a tutorial for a darling pop-up card.  Well when I found this digi image from Sassy Cheryl's I knew that I had to make it into a pop-up card.  You'll be so proud of me, I even kept track of which Copic markers I used to color the image: RV02, RV04, RV06, Y06 YR68, BG01, ,BG05, BG07, and BG09.  I'd love to hear your comments!

Sending sunshine

A friend has been having a really tough time lately. I thought she needed some sunshine in her life - at least one day of it any way. So I made this cute little Care Bear card for her. I don't think I could have made it any more bright or cheery. I used Glossy Accents on the stars and the sun on the bear's tummy. I also popped the big sun - she needs as much sun as she can get right now.
