Gorgeous Winobella

I needed to make a really quick card for my sister Cindy in New Zealand and, of course, turned to Winobella to make it happen! Sis and I, and our hubbies, really love a good wine, and Sis loves receiving packages in the mail from America, so she received a card, a bunch of scrapbooking [...]

Whimsical Birthday

This is quite a whimsical card that I made for a friend of mine whom I’ve known since I was but a wee girl back in Paonia (pay-OWN-yuh), Colorado! I sewed some extremely wonderful, shimmery KI Memories Surprise patterned paper embellished with some Stickles, matted with Bazzill Bling, Prima flowers embellished with K&Company and Creative Imaginations [...]

Braeden’s T.A. Valentine

Braeden’s KinderG teacher has a teacher’s aid who thinks that Braeden is the greatest thing since God made kids, so there’s no way he can show up to school this Friday without a Valentine for her! The paper is from a DCWV mat stack, I love the ribbon from Joann’s, and of course that’s TeachaBella [...]

Re-Do of Sophisticated Valentine

Boy, something about the card below just kept bugging me. More specifically, I couldn’t really handle how I colored the teacher’s blouse, and then I couldn’t handle the Primas and heart brad with nothing to “ground” them on the card, and ultimately something really bothered me about how the teacher should have been casting a [...]

Sophisticated Valentine

Here I offer a card that I made for Braeden’s KinderG teacher, Ms. Lafayette, based on a sketch at BearyBox (this sketch is wonderful, and I shall use it again and again!). I stamped Teachabella onto 120lb. GinaK Pure Luxury cardstock, then realized the joys of blending Copics on such luxurious paper, wowy!! As I searched [...]

Christmas TeachaBella

This is the card I made for Braeden’s kindergarten teacher (she was Taylan’s K teacher too). Sure hope she likes it! The paper is Holiday/Harvest by Debbie Mumm for Joann’s. 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 [...]

The ribbon is from Joann’s, and the paper is Harvest/Holiday by Debbie Mumm for Joann’s plus some Bazzill Bling and textured cardstock. The Do Not Open Until December 25th is [...]

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 [...]

Birthday Card for my Sister

Just found out that my sister loves her birthday card, so I thought I’d post it here! Hi Sis!! Many of you ‘know’ my purple-and-dragonfly lovin’ Sis because I talk about her often in various places!! The multi-colored polka dots paper is from American Crafts, the purple/white polka dots paper is from the Nana’s Kids [...]

Birthday Daffodils and a Bella

Now that her birthday is passed, I can post this card that I made for June, a friend’s mom. She lives in Alaska and adores daffodils. Thankfully I have a hubby who doesn’t mind scouring Hobby Lobby for any daffodil stickers he can find, even if it means acosting an employee (just kidding, no employees [...]
