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.



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.
