Bunny Fairy Card For Easter, Birthday, Tooth Fairy, Best Wishes











I came across this stamp the other day and thought it would be a good one to use for this time of the year. With Easter coming up, I thought the bunny was an appropriate image, but as I was working on it, I was thinking that this would be such a great card to give to a sweet little person that may have just lost a tooth and this card could be from the Tooth (bunny) Fairy. It would actually be suitable for many occasions such as birthday, Best Wishes, Thank you, etc... This is a special card that I made as a part of Our Ebay design team's (CSPT) Sweet Reward's promotion that gives our buyers the opportunity to purchase our cards with a lower opening price than our average auctions. I hope that you enjoy it and click to enlarge the pictures to see more of the detail. There are individual pink gems as the dots on the bunny's dress as well as the rosey cheeks.
If you like this card, please leave me a comment to let me know that you stopped by and what you think.
Thank you very much and have a nice evening!!
Card will be on Ebay auction from 2/28/2009-3/10/2009. Hop on over and have a look : )

Easter Bunny Trio Card Candle and Altered Canister Gift Set










Hi, I know it has been a little while since I posted a card on here, but my son is home on leave right now, and I have been spending as much time with him as I can. I actually made this set while chatting with him into the wee hours of the night. He is a very encouraging audience! I have been enjoying making these gift sets and just really love this one. This is another Easter Gift Set. It is done in such pretty Spring colors, and the hand-stamped candle and the altered canister are all a matching set.
I have not listed this gift set on Ebay yet, as Auctiva image hosting is having some difficulities right now, and I really feel that if I don't list all of the pictures that you won't get to really appreciate how gorgeous this set really is. As soon as I can get pictures loaded up to Ebay, I will have this set available for sell. If you view this set, please comment and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!

My Card is on the Main page of Splitcoaststamper's Featured Gallery!

I was so excited when I got the message that SCS put my Vintage St. Patrick's Day card on the main page of their Featured Gallery until St. Patrick's Day. How fun is that? Now, I feel so inspired to create more ; )

Stop on over to their site and have a look:

I will have to brainstorm on this one.

Have a great night!!

St. Patrick's Day Pot of Gold at The End of the Rainbow Shaker Card
















I really love shaker cards, so I couldn't pass up the chance to make one for St. Patrick's Day. This is a hand drawn, cut and paper-pieced card. I added the metallic shamrocks to the shaker which flow around freely. The pot is filled with cut, shiny, sparkly gold coins. It is such a rich looking card and so much fun too! This will be my last St. Patrick's Day card for this year. My oldest son is coming home on leave for a few weeks, so I won't have time to get another St. Patrick's Day card in before he leaves. I am thinking Easter ideas already, so that will be next.
This card will be on Auction on Ebay from February 18 thru February 25. Drop by and have a look at it as well as my other cards.
Have a great day!!

Hoppy Easter Tilda Magnolia Card












I wanted to share with you a card that I made for a really sweet friend of mine. It is another Tilda card from the Magnolia collection. This is just the cutest image. I took this picture at night, so the colors are not as vivid as a daytime picture would be. I may come in here and edit pictures when I get some taken in natural daylight. My friend loves pink, so I really wanted to add alot of pink to the card for her without overpowering the card with pink. I think it turned out just right. I hope she loves it!

Thanks for stopping by and having a look.

Vintage St. Patrick's Day Girl Collage Card




















Well, here is another of my firsts. This is a week of firsts for me I guess. I wanted to make a card for St. Patrick's Day and could not find a stamp that I could use, so I decided to give one of these vintage prints a try. I normally am not fond of the vintage prints, because they sort of take away from the whole stamping/art part of creating a card. However, I did find it fun to really glitz up the image as well as add some really pretty collage accents to make this card more fun. So, wa la, I now have a St. Patrick's Day card. I may even try to do one of these again sometime. I guess artists should always be open to trying new things even if the first impressions may not always come off as an instant love. If you happen to stop by, please tell me what you think.


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
