This is my best friend’s Christmas card…a bit basic, embossed fancy schmancy paper on top of patterned paper on top of Bazzill Bling, but it’s some of my favorite ribbon (C-line and I both love that color green). Thanks for looking!!

A Tree for the Zayazes
Yep, another tree card, slightly varied. These look so elegant (IMHO) for how quickly they come together that I’ve made quite a few. This one is for the Zayaz family (I used to work with Steve at Amex Biz Fi, and Angel takes our picture nearly every year). Thanks for looking!

A Tree for Sarah
Yes, I do have a distinct affinity for this tree embossing folder for my Alienbug, which I wouldn’t have if it weren’t for my wonderful Sister of my Soul Cindy!! This card is for a friend of mine in northern Cali, with whom I share a birth month and date (she’s several years younger than [...]

A Tree for the Estradas
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!! Contrary to my infrequent postings, I really have been a mad, card-making momma! I’ve made a number of the same design but with subtle changes. This card is for our Estrada friends down in Texas — we sure do miss them! Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday, Chef!
This is a birthday card for a chef. I have it on excellent authority that this particular chef is the epitome of a culinary artist – hopefully he’ll move to Colorado next year and I get to meet him {shameless hint}. Bill, the kids, and I used to live in Englewood, literally across the street [...]

Christmas TeachaBella

I used my new Labels 2 Nestabilities…just love the shape, so yummy! Bella is heat embossed onto 140lb. watercolor paper and colored with Copics. The [...]

Happy Birthday ‘Billy’ Card
My good friend and mentor TinaH sent me some stamped Billy images, for which I will forever be grateful because he’s so stinkin’ cute, and I used him and some overalls and tools to make this card. Oh, and let’s not forget his toy train and tool chest, made shiny with Glossy Accents. The ‘carpet’ [...]

Card for Laura
A young gal at my work is going through something that I wouldn’t wish on anybody, the poor thing. Her young husband had a mysterious heart issue and died suddenly. They had him on life support for a few days, and as Laura stood in his hospital room, talking to the doctor about options, she [...]

Goodnight, sweetheart, well, it’s time to go…
So my best friend, and who hubby calls my work spouse, officially got moved tonight to a suburb of Austin. Her last day at work was 12/2/08, and I cried like a baby as she drove away from the building for the last time. Jeepers, the heartache is something I didn’t expect, seriously. I couldn’t [...]
