Roses

 

 

This is a pretty anniversary card. It's made with some older stamps (I don't know the manufacturer) and just a little bit of fussy cutting, then the dark green paper added to the bottom. Nice and simple, but fun. 

Butterfly Birthday

Here is a bright and cheerful kid's birthday card made with Royal and Langnickel rub-ons. The picture doesn't show it, but the rub-ons are glittery and sparkly! I used a rubber stamp for the sentiment. Thanks for looking!

His Anchor Holds....

This is a lovely stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs. I colored with reinkers and a blender pen,
embossed the border, and added a touch of ribbon.

I Got Some 'Splainin' To Do.....

This post is without pictures, and it isn't even about crafts. It's just a short note to let you know why I haven't posted for so long. In August of 2010, I went through a double-spinal fusion surgery, and I was in a cervical collar for 6 months (and during that time I had third-degree burns on 4 fingers). Then in August of 2011 I discovered a breast lump. During the time between finding it, getting the proper testing done, getting into a surgeon, and getting a lumpectomy (26 days) the lump grew from golf-ball sized to softball size. It turned out to be a rare tumor that was known for aggressive growth and recurring nature, and the usual treatment was a mastectomy because that was the only way to be sure it wouldn't come back. I was told if I made it 4 months without it coming back, it would be a good sign. I made it 4 months and 1 day. Back to the surgeon. And another surgery. On the day of my 3 month follow-up, the next lump was found. Major surgery followed. I then had 7 weeks of radiation treatments. I am now all healed and feeling better than I have felt in years! Lord willing, I will continue to create projects and begin posting them again. Look for some more posts yet this weekend! Thanks so much for all your support! Big hugs to you all!

Christmas Tag Art

I spent a lot of time before, during, and after Christmas (I didn't get them all done before - oops!) making these decorations. I think I made 26 in all! It was lots of fun, and by the end I had learned every possible way to make them easier! You can't tell too much from the picture, but the styles included Victorian, Homespun, Polka Dots, Traditional, and Non-Traditional in teal blue. It was lots of fun! Come over sometime and we'll make some more!

Blast From the Past

Well, I haven't posted for a while, so I thought I would show you something from the past. This is the transom to my back door that I painted with Gallery Glass paints. You can tell it was my first time trying it, but I'm satisfied enough with the end result to leave it up all these years!

Thanks for looking!

Wedding Card

Here is a card that I made for a wedding. I used Spellbinders Label 11 for the shape, Stampin' Up stamp, and set the stones with my I-Rock. It is simple, but pretty! Thanks for looking.
