Fun Edges
I was looking for inspiration today and pulled out the instructions from the January SEI kit. I decided to create this card from different scraps. I took a piece of neutral colored cardstock that was ready, scored it, and folded it. I then took nine different papers as recommended and cut them into 1″ by … Continue reading
Altered Book
Today’s Handmade by Shay is really handmade by Rachel. I bought a comp book for my little sister-in-law and promised to help her make it over. We finally got some time to do that together. I had created an altered book at my first scrapbooking convention back in ’07 and still had the sketches for … Continue reading
Happy…Day
Here’s a card for those of you who may not celebrate valentine’s day or want to celebrate every day. It’s pretty rough since I designed it on the fly. I made a Spirograph background in three shades of blue on blue cardstock. I used an American Girl stencil for the lettering and vellum for the … Continue reading
Two For One Day
Feeling less than inspired today, I decided to go through some old folders of mine where I have stored magazine articles.

Be Mine

Wishing you…
Today’s greeting card is one I made for my Aunt. I heard she was having foot surgery so I thought I’d wish her a speedy recovery. It was very easy to put together after freehand stamping the messages (no guidelines) and cutting out the butterflies by hand.
Warm Fuzzies
Today was full of trial, error, and failure. I had this great idea for a pretty, simple card that didn’t turn out at all. Here are my tries: I ended up using stamps from the same collection with different colors, a cute message, and a grass sticker.
Blue & Green Hello
When I started this card today the only thought I had was to weave some ribbon that I’ve had for a while. This led me to add some flower rub-ons using similar colors. I still had a lot of white space so I decided to stamp another flower and simple message using more blue and … Continue reading
Love Ya
This is another design experiment. I wanted a more masculine valentine’s card but liked the design of this one. Here’s the example and step-by-step photos: And the final product:
