Here is the little card/envelope album that i put together as a way to say a little thanks to Julie for takeing me to the asbs conference in San Diego. She took me sailing and wow was that amazing. i really enjoyed it after i got used to tipping halfway over in the boat. It was an amazing learning experience~ she had no IDEA how much of a sheltered South Dakota girl i really am!!! i discovered ultra thick embossing, thanks to Cathy at the Scrap Playground, and as you can see, i really really like it!!! thanks Cathy

mothers day cards and present

i am a little of a procrastinator, so here are 2 cards i put together on sunday morning for my wonderful mother and my mil. considering that i made them in the morning, i am really happy the way they turned out. yeah, i know, i do not know how to take photos. also i loved the idea of using old sewing patterns as gift wrap, i got the idea from pink owl inspiration. loved how the gift of a simple book looked so special.

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

A few of us got together at the LSS and had a little fun creating. I had never tried Gesso nor had I played at making lollipop flowers and this is what i came up with. We had a lot of fun and i dont think they turned out too bad either!!!! one thing i do know is that i am definitely not a photographer!!!!
