So many cards!

Okay, so maybe some of these are similar in theme and content, but aren't they pretty? I love receiving homemade cards. I hope each of these recipients loves his/her card.

Garden layout

I stitched the vellum to the patterned paper. I used some thickers and a butterfly punch.

Value retaining embellishment

Click to see details. Love the way this looks. My first monochromatic scheme in a long time. I created the embossed butterlies with Stacey and Peyton Hoover.

Duplicate layout

For the first time in my many years of making art, I created duplicate layouts. i created one for my friend, Char who moved back to Canada on Sunday. I quickly replicated it for myself. I just slightly changed the journaling.
The tarragon ladies and i were chatting about how well three elements work together. Had to place three glitter elelments and three butterflies on the page.

Butterfly cards

I've been making these cards to give as Easter, spring, and birthday cards. I love how butterflies represent transformation.

Using glitter challenge

Ann and Jay hosted a very fun Mardi Gras party complete with a parade at midnight. Here are two of the several pictures in our album.
This layout features glitter parentheses, star, and photo edges. I even painted the chipboard and sewed the green ribbon in place over the feathers. I keep these feathers on hand to teach yoga breathing to kids and was inspired!

April layout challenge

A layout with funny photos from a very fun day at our house.
