Birthday Cards

Here are a few birthday cards my sister and I made....

My sister made this one using justjohanna's OBP stamps.

She used glitter and pop dots.

This one I made using ready-glitter stickers.

Instead of glitter, I used fun flock.

Here's another card I made using Urban Lily designer paper.

I like to cut out words from DP's and used it as a sentiment for the card.

Welcome Baby

I love these fun stamps from justjohanna's OBP.

I cut out the sling and placed the baby in it and I used pop dots to add dimension.

Gnomes

I usually start thinking about my holiday card designs at this time of the year. Time always seems to fly by for me when Halloween comes around. Here are a couple of holiday cards I made using justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet stamps.

Score!

Oh my, I didn't realize it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Time flies when you're having fun helping your kids with their homework and school projects.

Here's my entry for the Caardvarks Score challenge. I was thinking of a creative way to box my cards. I wanted to design a package that had a clear window so that the cards were in plain view and here's what I came up with.....

I scored 110 lb. white cardstock to make the box. For the cover, I used transparency paper. I use transparency films for copiers because they're thicker and cheaper. They're also durable enough to wet and dry emboss. To soften the corners, I rounded the edges with a round corner punch. For the finishing touch, I wrapped the box with ribbon. Sweet and simple!

Here is a wedding anniversary card I made yesterday.

I used a few of my favorite justjohanna's OBP stamps.

The Chai Story

I came across a story that touched me deeply. If you have dogs, pets, or have a love for animals, I urge you to read The Chai Story and take action. I know this story will touch you as much as it did me.

I Sea You

Here's a quick post of a card I made with justjohanna's OBP stamps:

Creative Work Space

I love seeing other people's creative work spaces, so I thought I'd share mine.

In the past, I'd go through my storage boxes and find (more like, "discover") things I didn't know I had. I've transferred a lot of my things in clear containers.

My husband made this storage shelf for me. It's actually a stand I use to sell my cards at craft fairs.

I store my stamps in two large storage boxes, but I keep my most favorite stamps within reach on the counter.

Thanks for visiting me and my creative work space. Let me know if you post pics of your space, I would love to see them!
