These are some cards I did for a swap. Don't you love the beach bottle, I was so excited to use it. I know you can't see it very well but the background paper is lanterns, when I saw the bottle I knew I would use that paper. Sweet! Hey, just a little hint. See the sentimate's on the "Thank You", 'Laughter" and "Beach" cards? When I don't matte I always layer two pieces of paper so it is stronger, then I do my most favorite techicique of all, blushing. I love it! Wow, posting two days in a row, can you stand it? I'm working on a shoebox swap for this weekend. I'll show you how it turned out tomorrow.






















Boy, I got a lot done yesterday. I was up till eight am, just couldn't sleep. Let's see what I get done tonight.
As you can tell I'm a bit of a night owl, it"s cool, quiet and calm. I watch TV and create to my hearts desire. There are a couple of card classes I teach a month and always try to teach them something new. The thing, is they teach you just as much as you teach them, they put their own spin on the cards they create. It's exciting to see. Well, I should go now, time for bed. I"ll post more recient cards tomorrow, thanks for looking,


Ok, this is the last picture I'll post for now. I love this sweet little set, I did it for a class.



When the "Sew Suite" set from SU came out my friends and I couldnt wait to start playing with it. I participated in a swap and had to make ten cards and I chose this set. Creating the different embelishments took a bit but putting it together was great fun. I know it might be a bit busy for some but I just couldn"t leave anything out. I was sad to see this one go.



I was playing around and came up with these two cards. I love the "Quick Accents" from Stampin Up. It's so easy to get a great card fast.




This is a card and lotion holder my friend Cynthia R. made, I left off the holder and made it just a card.
