Geisha Shaker Card

<

Hearts in Touch has several new stamp sheets out and one of them is GeishaPhotos.It is unbelievably gorgeous as you can see

I was inspired to do something a bit different, so I made a shaker card. I used the new Shaker pouches from Impression-Obsession, and boy did it make the process easier!

All paper except for the patterned paper is from The Paper Temptress. Look how fabulous the embossing is on the top portion of the card. I used a Sizzix embossing folder, but the paper is what makes the difference! All of Patricia's paper embosses so perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by!

Does Anyone Want to Barter???

I have the original Cricut machine and I am willing to barter for some other art supplies in exchange for it. Of course you would have to pay the postage.

Make me an offer!

Home for the Holidays

I am so happy to be getting my blog up to date.It is wonderful to be sharing my art once again with all of you!
This card was interesting to make. I knew all the elements I wanted to use, it just took a bit of time and thought to put them all together. All the gorgeous paper paper is from the Paper Temptress and the stamp is from Hearts in Touch new Christmas sheet. I also used Spellbinder's Fleur De Lis Pendant, Scallopped Circles die cuts and two Cuttlebug embossing folders. Of course I had to add a bit of bling too, LOL! The die cuts are mounted with pop dots to add dimension to the project.
I think this card would fall into the "simply elegant" category...not too much fuss, but effective.
I hope you like it!
See you soon.

"Clearly" It's Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! Not because of all the good food (although I admit that's a HUGE bonus) but because of family. Everyone lives very busy lives. It is so very wonderful to have the entire family together for Thanksgiving. With my four children and their spouses, along with my 12 fabulous grandchildren, it is joyous chaos, LOL! All I have to do is glance around the room to count my many blessings.
This card uses paper from the Paper Temptress and stamps from Hearts in Touch. I am blessed to be a small part of each of these fabulous companies. Designing for such wonderful, generous women is indeed something to be thankful for!

So to all of my friends, family and those who follow my blog...have a safe holiday. Don't forget to count your blessings!

Christmas Sparkle

This was a really fun card to do. It is showcased on both Hearts in Touch blog and the Paper Temptress Community blog.

I fused some Angelina fibers together between two pieces of copy paper and then adhered them to a piece of card stock. I then covered it with a piece of acetate adhered to the card stock piece with the fibers with spray adhesive, and stamped on the acetate. All paper is from The Paper Temptress and all stamps are from Hearts in Touch.

Thanks for looking

I've Been Published

In the September issue of Vamp Stamp News.It is the card in the upper left hand corner. I actually started this card well over a year ago when I was visiting my dear friend Chris in Australia. I had the basic background and image done on the canvas and then packed it in my suitcase. It wasn't until many months after my return that I actually finished it. The rest is history as they say.
I have submitted a Christmas card to VSN and will see next month if it gets published or not. Wish me luck!
