cards by me

This site will show my card creations and ongoing projects. I created my site to share with friends and family. It will also be a "test" for feedback on the possibility of starting a small business making cards and personalized calendars. Please scroll down or visit the archives to view photos. Comments will be appreciated! Enjoy

Caleb's turtle



The turtle beanbag that I made for Caleb's 2nd birthday. The party is Sunday...maybe I'll be able to get a picture of him sitting on it.

Anniversary cards


The same card using different color schemes. The hearts on front are made from beads strung on wire and then bent into shape.

Easter cards


I made 2 like this with a little variation in the patterns and colors. This was shown as a centerpeice. I scaled it down for a card. This idea is a good use of
lace,trim and paper scraps.

These are basically the same with the difference being the placement of the decoration.

Easter cards


These are for Caleb (grandson), Bailey and Briley (great-neices). 3 different color schemes for 3 different personalities.

This idea was in one of my magazines...I sustituted an Easter egg for an airplane.
When you tilt the card from side to side the egg spins. These are for grandsons Tristen and Sebastian.

As you can see by the "tag" these belong to Hannah and Ryleigh (great-neices).
These were fashioned into cards from a gift bag idea.

More April cards

Caleb's turtle card....my own design....the feet, head and tail move. The turtle is attached to the card with velcro so that it can be removed for play. I decided on this card because I am making him a turtle beanbag chair for his gift. Be on the lookout for photo when complete. It is cutout and ready to sew.
This card is for my neice (Courtney) on her 13th birthday.
These are for my neice(Crystal) and my brother-in-law (James) both on the 16th. The package with the horn and confetti was styled after an old card front. The other from one of my books.




I have now started on 3 anniversaries....then Easter and Caleb's chair.
