Thank you so much for stopping by!

Vintage Style

A friend of mine asked me to make him a wedding card for a wedding that he was attending, today actually! Of course I said YES!

I actually know the bride, and I chose to make some vintage style cards for him to choose from, knowing that this was her style.

Now, vintage is not a style that I work with very often. I do make gift tags at Christmas that are vintage inspired, but that is about it.

Making these wedding cards was going to be a challenge, but I figured I needed to work outside of my comfort zone! It would be good for me....right?

Well here they are....

 

 

 

I was actually happy with the way they came out! I may actually do some more work with vintage!

 

Happy Creativity friends, have a lovely day! Thanks for visiting!

Creative Memories Enchanted

Today, I am just sharing some projects using the Creative Memories Enchanted paper and embelishments. When this paper came out, I thought it was the most beautiful paper that Creative Memories offered, yet I didn't want to use it!

Then I found out that neither did anyone else who bought it from me. So I decided to bite the bullet and create some cards and a Chipboard Album with it!

Here are the cards....

And here is the Enchanted chippbaord album...

Soon, I will post some page layouts for my scrapbook!

Happy Creating, enjoy your week!

Altered Clip Boards and More

Wow, I have been absent for a while, but I have definately been working!

I have a few events coming up in April, just in time for Mother's Day. I will share with you some of the things I have been making.

Here are some photos of the clipboards that I have been working on. I have made some chore charts (inspired by trying to get my girl excited and organized and independant at doing her own chores!).

These are inspired by my need to constantly having a list going for groceries, things to do in the day, supplies I need, you name it! I found these wood cut outs of lemons and grapes and carrots at Michaels, with some beautiful brown paper list pads! Check them out!

 Then there is this kind that may just be a pretty gift for someone!

Of course I am always making cards, so here are some of the cards I have been working on. I am always finding paper and stamps that I forgot about, so being inspired by something pretty never seems to be a problem.

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely week!
