More Thank You Cards

I had a nice challenge. My mom wanted some thank you cards for ladies and men. Most of my cards are 6 inch x 6 inch in size. But I decided to try a smaller size card. So I got the pre-scored card and envelope package from Michael's. They were so small and I really wanted the 5x7 size instead. But I jumped into the smaller size 4 inches x 5.5 inches and was surprise how fun it was.

Making cards for men is another challenge. But I did have some paper I thought would make nice designs. So I made a variety of cards that she will enjoy giving away. Go on Kelly, you did it! LOL!

Here they are! I got on such a roll with the lady cards, I made more than she needed! So maybe a blog giveaway gift is coming soon?????

Used Echo Park pp and Recollections flowers.

Used Teresa Collins pp, Recollections flowers and lace ribbon.

Used buttons and a variety of pp from My Mind's Eye, Doodlebug, & others. Can't remember! :)

Here is a closer look at a few!



All the lady cards were presented in this adorable organza bag instead of an envelope. I know they will love this!

Isn't this lace beautiful? Love how the satin ribbon runs through it. Found this at a trim store. Love it!

Love the textures on this card. The top looks and feels like leather and the bottom feels like courderoy.
Thanks for taking a look and all this fun work. Also a big thanks to my mom for this card order. Hugs!

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
