These are a couple of cards I made for graduation. The pictures aren’t great because I was under time constraints. I like to take my pictures outside, but it got dark before I was done.
I have a hard time making masculine cards. I want to add beads or something, but that is not very masculine I’m told. 
I sent in my cards to the woman that sells the dachshund stamps. I can’t wait until fall to use some of the other ones that I got.

This card is for graduation. It looks like it would make a good engagement card or something, though. That’s all I can really think to say about this card.

This card is exactly the same card I made for Corina, but for a 40th card I wanted to make it a little more unique. So, I added a sparkly watermark with my versamark inkpad in champagne. The color in this picture is not that great, so I hope that the subtle “40s” in the background are visible. There is no retaking this picture for color’s sake- I already gave it away.

These are a couple cards that I really loved after I was finished. They come from the same stamp set which also includes a monkey. For the head and feet, I used the stamps, but for the body I improvised and used my circle cutter. I used pop-dots to give it a 3d look, making sure that 2 feet went in front of the body and 2 behind. I used a weird ribbon that I had and twisted about an inch of it to make it look like stems. I just got it at a rummage sale and had no idea how I would use it. In fact, I had no idea I even had it, but I think it turned out to be exactly what I needed.
I haven’t even given these cards away yet. I guess the odds are pretty slim of the recipients stumbling upon my new website.

This was for another co-worker, Corina. Her favorite colors are lavender and yellow. I was not thrilled about this prospect, but I was actually really happy with the result. I duplicated this one yesterday for a 40th card, so I added a little extra pizazz. Pictures soon to come!

This is a card I made for a co-worker who just had her first baby.
I really enjoyed doing this centerpiece.

These are some “thank-you” cards for those who helped me furnish my new apartment. I think I have another on my camera phone, but that will be for another day- too much work for now.
I used this color scheme to match Jaydi and Cooper’s house. Most of it is a burnt orange color, so I figure they must like it.
This is for David and Michelle. He favorite color is purple so I started there. This was my first time to use this technique. I stamped the same stamp on different colors and pieced them together.

These are some cards I made for Valentine’s day for a couple of little girls I know, Kailei and Taylor. I love the vellum on Taylor’s card.
Kailei’s card is slightly more girly because she is big into rhinestones and ribbons. I really enjoyed making this one as frilly as possible. I don’t think anything would be considered “too girly” for her.

This card I made for Adam’s aunt. She’s a dog-lover and since I loved my brother’s card so much, I decided to reuse the basic layout of the card. She wears pink a lot, so I used pink, brown, and white.
