Summer Cards

 
Happy August! I hope you are enjoying this month. Although I have been having fun art journaling and drawing, I have made a few cards, too. I just love the happy and bright colors and love that they will make the receivers smile.
 
Take a look!
 
 
 
Loved using this My Mind's Eye pp and the velvet white flower from Petaloo.

 
A family friend got married and here is one of the cards I made as a gift to them. I loved using their wedding colors, too. So Pretty!
 
I used Prima flower paper and some pearlized blue paper as an accent. The flower is Petaloo and the jewels are Zva.


Finally, I made this "Mini Album Card" for my mother-in-laws birthday.  It is full of pages of pictures and warm written thoughts of love.  I had some leftover flowers from my Anna Griffin card kit and loved using them. Here are a few of the pages.


The flower is from Anna Griffin. It is dimensional and lovely. The patterned paper is from Michael's.









 
 
Don't these card feel like Summer? So warm, bright and playful! I hope enjoyed seeing my creations.
 
Have a nice day!!!!

Happy 1 Year Blog Anniversary

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
