Everythings coming up roses!

I promised you yesterday that I would try and post pics of some new cards and things. Don't you just love these handpainted rose graphics? I can tell that I'm going to get alot of use out of them. Here is my first set of tags, a thank you note and a Thinking of You card.

I'm back.....

I can't believe that August is almost over and I have not had the time to blog once! There has been so much going on in my life these past few weeks.....some good and some bad. For those friends that sent their thoughts and prayers following the death of my daughter-in-law, I thank you....it really meant alot to me. Hopefully September will be a better month.

I only have 2 months until my fall craft shows begin and I still feel like I have so much to do to get ready. Hopefully the cooler weather this next week will motivate me to spend more time on fall/winter crafts.

By the way, I have a new set of fall cards up at Aimee Asher. While you are there you may also want to check out this new set by Glenna Nash.

Glenna is a good friend I met a few years ago on the PCCrafter message board. She is a wonderful person and an awesome artist! I have always been in amazed at her painting skills and now she has decided to turn some of her painting into digital graphics. I downloaded this one as soon as it became available and am already working on some cards I will post here in a few days. Glenna, I wish you great success in your new venture.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Something a little different today

Here are some pictures of a Provo Craft Tin that I altered. Usually I do them with graphics but this one is done with scrapbook paper and Modge Podge. Then embellished with ribbon and prima flowers although the flowers don't show up too well in the picture. I really like the way it turned out. I also made dividers for inside with chipboard covered in scrapbook papers and tabs punched out with a Stampin' Up punch. I haven't decided if I should design some recipe cards to go with it or use it to organize cards. Either way, when I'm finished I sure it will be added to my Etsy shop.

Three New Kits up today

I have three more card kits up in Karel's shop at Aimee Asher today. Karel also has two new summer graphics kits that are awesome! The card that looks like a present is one that pulls up to open like the flower pot cards that everyone is doing now. There are additional pictures in her shop that show the inside of the cards.

For all you pet lovers....

I just finished these two cards and thought they turned out really cute. I'll have to send the cat one to my daughter....she has two cats except they are both black and white. Graphics for both are by Cheryl Seslar of Raggedy Scrappin. Both cards have 3D cutouts on the front and inserts on the inside to match the frame on the outside. Thanks for dropping by.

Christmas in July!!!

I have been working on Christmas cards all week and thought I would post just a few of them. Some are a work in progress...I have the basic card done but need to add a few embellishments to some.

I found these really nice cards at Joann's...heavy textured cardstock and very sturdy kraft envelopes. The Santa's and angels are both from Whimsy Primsy and the Snowman and Gingerbread man are from Cheryl Seslar. Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy....I just got a new camera and need to get used to it.

Thanks for looking and come back soon.
