Don't throw out anything old!!




I came across these old vintage like dutch postcards and knew I had to use this image for my mom's birthday card. This will remind her of her Tante Nora who played such an important and crucial role in her life. She was a saint. And one thing that I remember is that she was always finding humour in everything. Sometimes you wish some people you meet in your life could always be there forever. She truly was a beautiful person inside and out. Anyways, my mom will love it. No stamping on this one. Just layering and glueing. Pretty simple really but I love how it turned out. Sometimes simple is just as elegant as complex. Thanks for looking.

A Whiff of Mother's Day ....











Well, here is my mother's day card, obviously late but never-the-less on its way tomorrow. I had coloured this image awhile ago with my copics and decided to cut it out and pop it up with dimensionals. The sentiment is digital from http://www.birdsblog.com/ and the yellow paper is digital paper from Lauren Meader's store http://www.mytimemadeeasy.com/ . The small printed paper is also from Lauren's store. I dressed up the inside with images and a sentiment from SU! and coloured the square stamped image with coordinating colours to match the colours from the front of the card. Thanks for looking and happy stamping.

Digital stamp from Karen's Doodles




Wow I love how this little girl colours up. This image is from http://www.karensdoodles.blogspot.com/ This is a nice springy card I made for a friend. I used some crystal effects on the bouquet to make it stand out some more. I coloured her with copic markers and used my oval nestabilities to put her on. Thanks for looking.

Happy stamping.

Manly yes, but I like it too...


Birthday card for hubbie. I hadn't used this stamp set, Autumn Days from SU! since I got it way back when and thought that it would be nice for a manly card. I really like how it turned out. Hope you like it too. I like the browns and the different tones.

Vintage Lady


Just wanted to post a card I made in the vintage style. I love the papers and the lace ribbon I found at a discount store. TFL. Happy stamping.

Easter Bunny basket made by my daughter


Well, we searched and searched and came across this cute punch bunny. Of course, we immediately had to fill it with chocolates but then something happened. The chocolates disappeared!! Those darn bunnies I tell ya'. Hope you like it. Thanks to this lovely lady for the inspiration. http://www.lindawalshstampinup.weebly.com/ under February 2010 postings.
