Welcome to my site. Look around and see if you like any of my creations. I am the mother of two grown children. I have always enjoyed scrap-booking and card-making and doing crafty things ever since I was a child, and I continue to be crafty whenever my time permits. If you are interested in a particular card let me know, some of my cards are for sale. Don't forget to leave a little message as you pass on by.

Faux Side Step Cards
If you have ever made a side step card you know how hard it is the line up the cuts and folds so they close correctly. Well these cards are made by a faux method, not much cutting is needed.
Instead of the cutting you add a smaller piece to the front of the card and lap it over to the back. I created a whimsical and nativity card using this method. To write a message you can add a piece of white paper to the inside or add it to the back.

Heaven and Nature
For this card I wanted to think of the peace and quiet of the woods. This card to me evokes peace and quiet.
I first die cut the trees and then layered a dark blue background to feel like the beginning of night time. The next step was to die cut a scallop and stamp “Let Heaven and Nature Sing.” To finish off the card I added a couple of rhinestones for a little bling.

Reindeer Girl
This card would be great for any little girl. I love how she looks so innocent in her reindeer clothes.
I first added striped card stock onto a white card base and then stamped and colored the reindeer girl. I added some sparkle to the lights on her head. A layer of vellum was added before adding the girl and then I added the Merry Christmas sentiment on top.
