I finished another card but will not be able to post it until after the recipient has seen it. Please keep checking though because I plan on working on other things this weekend. It is July (almost) and therefore I need to start working on my yearly Christmas show. This means that most of my efforts will have to be directed towards that! I will need to reorganize my studio and make some purchases so look for some pix of those things as well as some sneak peaks on what will be available for purchase! If you are interested in custom gifts or cards for you or your loved ones, make sure to put in your requests early.

I made this card for my former supervisor/friend; Bob who is retiring on Monday. He always had interesting stories to tell about his former students, places he had been and experiences he had had. Bob was even an extra in the Johnny Depp movie - Public Enemy! I thought this card (I hope it did anyway) captured his worldliness and sophistication. I expect one day that he will publish an interesting novel. I will be back in the studio this week so please check back on Friday for more pix. In the meantime scroll down my blog page and click on my other pages to see past projects and cards that are for sale (store and galleries). Also I've update my fun trivia so don't forget to check that too. Have a pleasant rest of the week and thank you for visiting!
Hi everyone! On a sad note . . . .no she would want me to be positive, so in the spirit of new growth my friend and mentor, Maria, has received her album, which means she is on her way to a new life. So now I can show you- with her kind permission, the mini album I put together for her. I have not included the personal notes (at least not so you can read them) made by our co-workers however because . . . well. . . because. they are personal. Maria has touched our lives and changed them for the better. I have titled the album "pensieve". Those of you who are Harry Potter fans will understand the reference, but for those of you who are not, please see etymology below.* Sorry about the dark photos, but I didn't finish til 2:30 Friday morning and the indoor lighting plays havoc on color quality. I may add more information later this week . . I just can't today. . .the sads are taking over.
Hi everyone! I will be posting my new memories album this weekend that I'm making for my good friend Maria who is going away. Her last day is Friday and that's when I will be giving it to her. So please stay tuned and I think you will enjoy (hope you will) the pix. Sorry this is the only thing I have been working on for now. Have a great rest of the week and thank you for visiting.
I made this anniversary card for my good friends Judy and Carl who are on a road trip right now. I struggled with the wine and beer glasses trying various methods to make the glasses appear clear and filled with liquid. Cutting the shapes out of acetate ended up being too messy so I went with putting glitter directly on the card stock and then covering that with "crystal effects". I wanted to make the card conservative to match their personalities, but then it started to look too masculine. So that's why I added the flower with the diamond center. The greeting is embossed with silver embossing powder and I used one of my new embossing folders for the background. I almost never give an envelope without a liner anymore. It seems so "naked".
I am still working on my memories journal which is very time consuming but is coming along nicely. I will post the anniversary card tomorrow.
The cat and dog cards from Sunday's post are for charity. Each card is $5 and I give 100% to Charity. So if you love animals, this is a great way to support them! The last group I donated to H.E.L.P (Help for Endangered and Lost Pets) in Kane County. I will donate the next group to Tails in DeKalb.
These are some of the new cards I told you about. I will post more information about them tomorrow. Hopefully this site will behave better then.
It seems Weebly is having some difficulties today. I will still be updating (later) today. Please check back often today to see if it gets resolved. Thanks. If you continue to have difficulties, please contact me and I will send a message to the site advisor.
