A Sparkling Christmas

Hello my crafty friends, 

A friend asked if I'd make her Christmas cards for her this year. Of course I said YES! :) 

She was very specific in what she wanted: black and white and trees but not too many; plus a couple of other minor specifics including  wanting 15 and all the same. 

For dimension on these cards, the trees are popped up and I added lots of sparklies (Dazzling Diamonds - sigh they don't show up very well on camera) to the trees and snowflakes in the background. 

Hope you like and thanks for looking! 

Black & White w/a touch of color

There's something about this card...I think it really turned out quite nicely. Black and white with a touch of color is always a classic. With the white edges distressed, there's just a hint of white that makes this a perfect classy black and white sympathy card. 

The black piece under "so sorry..." on the front is popped for dimension. 

The inside reads: May you find comfort in God's word and in the knowledge that others care and sympathize with you

Check back soon and see more of what happened Saturday!

Hope you like and thanks for looking! 

Thanks!

Hmmmm... My last thank you card - for now anyway - is for someone who was a HUGE help to me in the preparation of my recent move. I just can't thank her enough for what she did for me. "THANK YOU!!"

June ATC - "Music"

Here is my June submission for my monthly ATC swap. The theme is music.

I was able to use my new 1/2" circle punch, music stamps and symphony edger punch. And just in the nick of time: punches arrived yesterday and I had to make all 9 and mail them by this Friday so they'd have to be done by Thursday night. Whew!

The piano keys are popped slightly over the music ribbon; the single notes are also popped.

Now off to finish the other swap card - masculine theme - that's 3/4 done.

Hi Girlfriend!

I thought I would have this as my first blog picture.

I participate in a monthly ATC (Artist Trading Cards) swap with a group of talented ladies in OH. This was my submission of our Black & White theme for this past April.
