To Steve the Neighbor

This card was created for neighbor Steve. He fell off his bike and hurt himself pretty badly a few weeks ago, so I thought it might cheer him up a bit to have a nice little gift from the neighbors who brought him to the hospital :) . He is doing better now - and was very thankful for the card.

My inspiration.

I was excited to figure out this idea - it opens like a real band-aid! 

Get Well Soon

Books!

I currently have a few books in the making (sketchbooks/notebooks) & will be updating you with each step of the process. So far I have my covers cut & bone-folded, the pages are cut, folded & stitched together. I have a few nice decorative papers for the covers, but am still on the search for nice book cloth. My goal is to have DIY videos on creating cards and books available to viewers soon, so be on the look out :)

Always bone-fold the edges

Mother's Day Cards

This year I created Mother's Day cards for 8 amazing women. I found some great card-stock and scrap-booking papers & went to town. I had a lot of fun choosing the color combinations with some really funky textured papers.
