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.

August Birthdays

There are 3 birthdays in the family this month. My eldest grandson, Tristen will be 15 on the 17th. My husband, Tony will be 54 on the 26th and my neice, Lacy will be 29 on the 28th. We are planning a pool party and BBQ with Margaritas at our house.



This one is for Tristen. I used some new stamps and rub on that I won from Paper Crafts.

This one is Tony's. I cut the peices from a postcard ad from an art gallery.

This cake card belongs to Lacy. I first made a collage from Happy Birthdays cut from a catalog and then cut it into a "cake". I added a twist tie from one of the kids toys(packaging) for the cake stand. I also added stitching to her card because she saw one that I had made for a baby shower card and commented on how she liked it.
