A Happy Hello

Owls are so popular right now... I see them often.   The leaves are from bushels of Hydrangeas ... I have found that using actual floral stems for blooms can add so much to a card.   DON'T THROW AWAY THE LEAVES...USE THEM.  they work lovely on any card or scrapbook page.

 

 

In Loving Memory of BreAnn...

It's still hard to believe that BreAnn was called to her eternal life back in March 2013

... and here we are in July ...  

Think of her every day and miss hearing her laugh.  xoxoxox

Happy to say though... my project was published in

Wine Tags for the Holidays

I ventured into making wine tags for the holidays. They were a HUGE hit. I sold 40 of them at a Ladies Night out. They add just the right amount of holiday cheer with any bottle of wine.

The Grinch that Stole Christmas

Here is a fun way to provide details to your guests for a special outing.  One of my dear friends celebrated her Birthday in Chicago with 17 friends and family.  She is a Christmas Eve baby and wanted to make it extra special for her guests.   She also included a Grinch bookmark and tickets to the show.    It was a HUGE hit... and also a little keepsake of the event!

Love IS Timeless is the name of this fabulous card.   I used several different embellishments and of course some bling. I layered different colored Stampin Up papers.  The hands of the clock is Tim Holtz Idea-ology.  I used a heart shaped brad in the middle of the clock. Love the paper piercing technique and pierced around the outer layer of the Fuse Embellishment and sewed white colored embroidery thread around it to give is a nice finish. I also used various ribbons and Paper Studio border stickers along the top, middle and bottom to tie in some more color to the card.  I used a cuttlebug folder with clocks on half of the card.  This card could be used as an anniversary card – or just an everyday I love you card.  Enjoy!
