Happy New Year!

New blog! New me!! hee hee.... just have the time right now during the Holiday Break to play around with my blog. You might see changes again, since it is a work in progress. Click on the cyber animals and they will do tricks for you too!!

Check out my Slide Show!

Merry Christmas from our house to yours!

The Hefer Project

I think that's what it's called. A co-worker asked for two cards for her daughter to give to inform the gift recipient that a donation was made in their name to this organization that buys farm animals for people in third world countries, to help them have a good start in being productive.... or something like that. I thought these cute stacked animals would make a great 'for you' card!

be merry

A simple colorful card with a cute little elf, wishing you to 'be merry'. Cased the design from some other cool artist... pp from SU.... added a geometic paper clip and a real red ribbon! got holiday, be merry!

Fluffy snowman

A simple snowman image 'cased' wearing a fluffy hat and scarf, cuttlebuged the patterned paper with the snowflake embossing folder, added a little fiber and a 'fun'ky fluffy snowman greeting.

Teacher gifts

Here's a little packet I put together for the teacher's I work with and for:
1 pak 10 embossed gift tages
1 4 pak of smartly labeled chocolate nuggets
1 special unsigned holiday greeting card they can give to someone special
Seems to have been a hit! A small token of thanks and happy holidays!
Yay me!

Something other than a card

Found some notebooks and decided to alter them. So, here are the before and after pictures. I really like how they turned out. I'm using Wild Asparagus paper from a multi pack from HL... then added matching embellishments, brads, fibers, book plate. Then I also made a matching card (not pictured) but thought it would make a wonderful gift for the journal enthusiast.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to my blog peeps!!! Cooper wishes your season to be merry and bright!!

Rudy & Bird

Did I post this one already? Mmmm, don't remember, it's been another busy week. This is a cute case from the the Elyzabell stamp. Just copied and drawn by me! yay me! I used stickles for his red nose.

Did an open house last night. Exposure, not much in sales. I guess I like all my personal clients that have me make special cards for them. Not sure if I'd look too far in the future to do craft fairs. I need to rope them in, giving them FREE cards first.... then when they run out of my cute whimsy on a card... they HAVE to buy more... their friends and family expect it!!!!

Ho Ho Ho

Home from school today, due to an ice storm. So, I'm doing a little bit of this and that..... here's a card I made over the weekend. This is a stamped image I received from a SS (secret sister swap). I just colored it in a bit and 'slapped' it on!

Snow dudes

Okay, yes once again, I've not posted in a bit, but I have been making cards, wrapping gifts, going shopping, cleaning the house, making treats, creating cards.... whew, just like everybody else, how do the holidays sneak up so quickly. This post is a few more snowmen, my favorite kind of guy in the winter time. All cards are hand drawn by me, but all images are cased from much more talented artists who create unique characters that are fun and challenge for me to draw. I suppose I could do my own, but it's so fun to copy! Ssssshhh!!! Don't tell my kids that! Thanks for looking. I'll be posting more holiday/winter cards again!

Rudolph

No snowman today. This image is 'cased' from the Elyzabell (?) stamps. Which means I totally copied their image but drew it myself... a little reinder and birdie watch a snow flake fall. Nothing special about the card other than the cute image, basic image on background paper with a little embellishment on card stock. Rudy's nose is colored with red stickles!
