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

August calendar pages



Two examples of the "flip flops" I used for August. I cut out "pattern" from an ad in a magazine and used various scraps for the base and straps.

June calendar pages



I used "Fly a Kite Day" as the theme for June. I cut various shapes from scraps for the kites. Then added tails with pen and bows cut from more scraps.

March and May Calendar pages



March theme : St. Patrick's Day...I used a card idea from one of my Paper crafts magazines


May theme: some have a Mother's Day theme and others like this one I cut out various vases and flowers from magazines and put together for a "still life".

September anniversary



My niece and her husband will celebrate thier anniversary in September.
The flash on my camera doesn't let the card show up very well but you can get the basic idea. The background is graytone roses. I like the dove design with the curling tails and heart shaped wings.

April pages



As you can see most of the April pages are Easter themed. The "Bunny Tails" was also one of the Easter cards I made this year.

Calendar pages....February



Here are three of the designs I used for February.
I also used cut out hearts, candies, etc. on some. Polar Bear day is Feb. 27...I used this theme also.

Sympathy card



I cut the flowers from a magazine and glued it to cardstock for stiffness. I tore the edge for effect. Mullberry paper over polkadot paper. The flowers were raised with foam squares.
