Green, my favorite color! I made this card for a Tic Tac Toe challenge where we had to pick a color, theme and a choice of patterned paper or embossing. I think this has to be one of my favorite cards I have made in a very long time.

I hope you have a very Blessed Day!

Well as promised I am posting one my latest projects. I am so excited about making these albums that I made a few for friends and family over the holidays. This is the very first album I made and many more to come. This Album measures 5 5/8 " x 7.5 "  with lots of room and can hold 40-50 photos or memorabilia. Each pocket page has its own pull out Mat for memories or photos, lots of pockets and flip ups for tags and such. My next few albums will have a lot of my own designs for DSP (designer series paper) and layouts.I will be listing these on EBay as well so if you are interested in purchasing or would like to place a special order in a different size and paper please let me know.  I hope you enjoy and have a Very Blessed Day!!

Hello friends and Followers, its been awhile!!! Been really busy since last summer getting my business off the ground with new orders and projects and then the Holidays were Ubber Busy by I am so excited to share some of the new designs and projects I have been working on so stay tuned.

Many Blessings,

Making this card was a true pleasure, very elegant and stately. Truly a clean and simple card enhanced by the Gabriella border. I plan to make this one in several color pallets as well (so many choices). The pretty little pearl accents and satin ribbon trim just made this whole project "Pop".

I hope you enjoy this card and have a wonderful day!

Many Blessings.

I had never done a white on white card before so this card was a bit more of a challenge. After I ran the background mat with another cuttlebug folder to emboss it I then added in the center of each little flower a dab of different color glitter glue to add some sparkle (although you cannot see it very well in this picture)
It really is very pretty card in person.

In Cranberry cardstock I punched a small scallop border edge and added it to the back of the sentiment strip to help it stand up from the whole card. I stamped the sentiment in Dark Cherry Ink to match the cranberry border and added it to the base with some foam dots for added interest.

The cranberry button matches the ink and border really well and with the little bakers twine bow adds such a sweet touch to the whole card.

I hope you enjoy this card and have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Many Blessings!

Well yesterday was quite a busy day, did not get an opportunity to post anything new so today will get to post 2 cards. This is the next card in the series, a Two Tone Blue with both the background matting and the focal image matting being dry embossed for that touch of texture. The sentiment strip was punched with the eyelet border punch which I think gave it a innocent feel to enhance the soft blue colors of this card.

The double tied satin bow at the top of the focal image and the blue rhinestones on either side of the sentiment gives a sweet touch of class. 

I hope you enjoy this card and thank you for stopping by!

Many Blessings.
