Yummy!

Sometimes, when I'm in my craft room I just want to play.  Well, thanks to my niece's upcoming birthday in November, I had the  chance to do so. Yes it was so fun!Nothing like play with a purpose.  If this cupcake came to life, I would definitely eat it all; How yummy! Now, I have several more  birthday cards to make for the month of November. Thanks for stopping by.

Color Me Soft

     Okay, so I've somewhat gotten my "mojo" working, where I'm not procrastinating with making and mailing my cards.  I actually did this 
one a week and half before the actual birthday.  I must say, I'm so
inspired by CTMH's "Originals" cardmaking sketch and guide book.  
I'm looking forward to purchasing the CTMH's "Wishes" book for more 
brilliant sketch ideas.  I love the color choices I made for this card. 
I was inspired by the dots in the circles on the printed paper.

alphabet stamps - Studio G

dye ink - Inkadinkado (cocoa bean)

Happy Birthday Fall Card

This card design was a scraplift from a Close To My Heart card made for my aunt.  The more I worked on this card, the more I fell "in love" with it.  I guess perhaps,it was the fall color palette and the level of texture.

2" x 3" S.E.I. "Winnie's Wall" striped printed paper

Thinking of You

Hi and welcome back! Yes, I've been kind of idle...shame on me. I made this card some time during the spring of this year, but I never bothered to post it.  This design used the Close To My Heart "Bella" line of printed paper. I love, love, love the color pallette of this paper line.  As you can tell by now, my style tends to vary depending on the audience or the recipient.  I am definitely learning a lot about myself in the process.
