About Me

Hello! I have been crafting ever since I can remember. I am retired now, and have gotten more into making handmade cards. I have also done some scrapbooking and a couple orders for wedding invitations. I really enjoyed doing them! Also have a few baby items I have made, used to sew all the time, but the cards have taken over now!

Welcome to my craft room.

This is the place where I keep track of the cards I have made.

Glad you could stop by and take a look.



Colour Challenge Sepia


Another colour challenge card, using my dog as the image for this one!

Oriental


I did this card, just because I loved the image and the colours!

Birthday Invitations


Grandaughter and Grandson both have their Birthdays in the same month, so this year their Mom, is having a combined pool party.
I took photos of the children's heads and put them on a body on a pool float, added some sunglasses and made them floating around in the water.

New Home Card


Youngest daughter is moving into her first home next week! She is very excited about it.
Printed off the backing paper, 3D the frog, and added a dragonfly embellishment.

Grandson's birthday

I did not want to get too fussy with his card, as he is a REAL boy!!!

Grandaughter"s Birthday


Made this card for my Grandaughter's Birthday. I thought it was just the cutest image for her!

Easter Cards





Here are some Easter cards, done for the grandchildren. They are all 3D decoupaged.

Anniversary Card


This was for a colour challenge, we had to use Cream/Brown/Orange.
Used cream card and stamped brown butterflies, the scalloped butterflies were printed on vellum paper and using the scallop punch, cut it out and the orange stock. Stamped the sentiment, added some glitter and cut out one of the smaller butterfllies. Added the strip of brown cardstock, which I used a border punch on.

Scene Card


This was done for a card challenge, had to be a Scene card. the image is 5 layers, but it doesn't show up well.

Tooth Fairy Cards

Made these for the grandchildren, so they can put
their tooth in the little envelope for the Tooth
Fairy! There is a tiny piece of velcro attached
to the flap of the envelope to close it, Slip the card
into an envelope and place under your pillow and
wait and see what the Tooth Fairy brings you!

Lady in Blue 02


Lady in Blue


I just love the Art Deco women!

Egyptian Lady

This is a new theme for me to do. Printed the background paper and the image onto glossy photo paper, which was then mounted on textured burgandy papers. Stuffed a feather under one corner and thought that was enough to embellish this card.

Secret Door Card


This was a card done for
a card challenge. The first picture is the front of the card, the shopping bag filled with wine bottles, is 3D. Open the door, and see part of the greeting.
Inside the larger part of the card is the birthday verse.

Flower Birthday

This is a 5 x 5 card, not done very many this size.
Have used one of Fred's Flowers.

Risque Valentine


Could not resist using this image for a valentine card!
Lady in the champagne glass is a 3D image, with some sparkle added on some of the detail.

Oriental


Did this card for a Challenge on one of the card forums. Not one of the themes I would normally do

Fairies


Here is another one that I just loved the colours in the image, so had to make a card from it!

Expecting

I loved this image, so just had to make a card out of it!

Tag Card


The tag card was also for a card challenge, never done one of those before either!

Waterfall Card


My first waterfall card!

Blue & Yellow


Another card for a card challenge, done with the cuttlebug.

Wild Animals


3D Decoupaged was done for a card challenge.

Old Friends


This was a special card made for three old friends that got together after almost 30yrs. I used a photo I took from our first snowfall this year and a photo of the 3 of them. I did some fiddling and placed the 3 men under the tree and put Santa hats on them all. Then sent it as a Christmas card to the two that were visiting! I think it turned out great!

Destination Wedding Invitation


Made 100 of these for son's wedding. Using a sand coloured cardstock for the base, I then added a layer of handmade paper, with torn edges. Mounted the printed vellum on top. Applied the navy blue raffia and added starfish. I was so happy to find a place in Florida where I could buy 100 starfish for $20!
The one lesson I did learn in making these, is when using square envelopes, the postage costs more.

Bringing the tree home

Another quick card done.

Square Christmas Card


Not done too many square ones, this one is done on the heavy scrapbook paper.

Photo Card 02

Used another photo for this card, added snowflake border and gold trim.

Photo Card


Used a photo of our first snowfall this year to make this Christmas card.

Christmas window

This was an easy card to make, printed off the
window and mounted it onto red textured card
stock. Used the border punch and added some
peel off stars.

Christmas Bells


The bells are an embossed sticker, cuttlebugged all the background papers, and then used some sand paper on the red paper so the design would show up.

Vintage Card


First card I have made using new backing papers and images, they are all printables. You can't tell by the picture, but it is mounted onto a brown, textured cardstock, and then added the printed backing paper, framed the santa, and added the Merry Christmas medallion and a few gems.

Snowmen


Printed the snowmen image and mounted and added a little bit of texture using the Cuttlebug and some die cut snowflakes.

Noel card


Another very simple one, used a heavy, textured cardstock, mounted the printed image onto red and then gold backing paper and added the bow.

Art Deco Lady


I love the Art Deco ladies! This one I put a frame around the image and then added the greenery to the bottom.

Art Deco Birthday




This is a Birthday card for my niece. I love these Art Deco Ladies.







Wild Woman


Got to use my glitter paper..........this was made for a friend who just turned 65!

Martini Drinking Woman

My sister's Birthday card..........she loves Martini's! So this was a wonderful image for her!

Personalized Anniversary Card






Printed off the car image a couple of times, so I could 3D Decoupage it. Took a photo and resized it so I could put the couple looking out the back window of the car.


Mounted unto blue smooth cardstock, added heart peel offs and a little glitter on the tail lights.

Egyptian Card

This one is printed on glossy photo paper, and 3D decoupaged the Egyptian images, Mounted on chocolate brown textured cardstock, used corner peel offs.

Lab Dog


My son is always talking about getting a dog, so thought this was a fitting image for his birthday card.

Snowman Family

Stamped the background of the card, then applied the 3D Decoupaged snow people, inked around the edge and added sheer ribbon.

Wedding Card


Betty Boop Motorcycle


I have had computer troubles and lost all my programs, and still don't have them all back on, so at the moment I can't resize my photos and take away the background! Hopefully I will soon have all my programs installed.
