A Not So Very Ordinary Girl or NameOnce upon a time Prince Kenneth stumbled upon a gorgeous and unique girl Aubrey. He marveled in the beauty that radiated from her gorgeous eyes, especially as she created each masterpiece. For you see, Aubrey is an artist. He mind constantly seeking the beauty in every abstract. When she looked at her Prince, he knew.

Thirty years after her Aunt, my niece Hannah graduates from my high school. My class was the first graduating class and we had picked the school colors, mascot, etc. when we were in 9th grade. So it was a joy working with those colors, to create her graduation card. It turned out simple but pretty utilizing the metal numbers and gigaNtic riCrAc. Of course I had to add some dots. The star (

I love matching the cards to their school colors - the inspiration on the "2010" was the book cover on Eat, Pray, Love

My only regret is that I didn't get them out earlier :( - ah well - it's the thought that counts right? Posh was the star of the card this year. I hoped to use a pic from our trip to Yellowstone but alas they weren't so good....anyhow....I hope everyone had a great Christmas! BTW - the first person to sign my blog and say "Merry Christmas" back to me - even if it's in July - I'll send you a

Sewing is so much fun now that I have a decent sewing machine. I really enjoyed adding the tulle to my Christmas cards.

Here's a clipboard I put together for my friend's daughter whose starting her career as a teacher. I love the colors and thought it turned out cute.

I love making graduation cards. It's such a wonderful opportunity to congratulate our children on 18 years of hard work and accomplishment, not to mention wish them well on their journey. Unfortunately I don't know my best friend from high school's daughter very well, but I loved making her card. I always try to use their school colors.

What a blast I had sewing on these cards with my new lil Singer that I bought at Costco. I'm sure I'll have many sewing adventures from here on out.

This just won't film properly. The greens really did match. I used my new MS border punch. Matching it up isn't easy - especially with my eye sight.

These 4 x 6 cards are so much fun to make for friends to add to a birthday gift or just by themselves.

Thanks to Alicia for the Special Date Folio Folder instructions. I've been wanting to make one of these forever. Now, I shouldn't miss anyone's birthday.

This card turned out so fun! As usual, I'm going nutty over the polkas again. I fell in love with this paper with the fuzzy flock of polkas (la-di-dot by doodlebug design, inc.) until I made the card, opened it up and realized that they WRITE ON THE BACK OF THEIR PAPER. UGH! It was a rookie mistake not checking it first. It did present me with the opportunity of using the black on the inside

The snowflake sparkle! The paper is Creative Imaginations. I had to order more from the company and other than taking 3 days when I paid for 2 days - they were great to work with. The paper is hard to glue and takes a lot with plenty of pressure using my brayer. Great work out making 40 cards! My printer wouldn't print on it either so transperancy to the rescue. We did an RSVP card in the next

I wanted to use a monogram on this simple card. I'm crazy over the ribbon tulle. The second picture shows other ribbons I have that show other options.

This is the prettiest sparkly snowflake paper. I tried to print on it because I wanted it to say "Tying the Knot" next to the knot. I'd probably put the text on transperancy if I did it again. There is a second picture with polka dot ribbon that I love and the third picture shows how the green paper is polka dotted - adorable!

I call this wallpaper card because the background paper reminds me of wallpaper. The design is a plush raised velvet feeling stuff - super pretty too.

This commission is for an eco-baby shower for a baby boy. My inspiration is to be the colors green/brown, Lion of Judah and Go-Green. Other than card made with handmade and recycled paper - I'm pretty much staying away from my given inspiration and just going with colors. I told her once we had the layout - we'd shop for eco-products....

I couldn't help adding to my collection when I went to Common Threads in Taos, NM this summer. Many are hand dyed silks, so lovely to hold. The tapestry was $7.95/yd - YIKKERS!!!

OMGosh this card took all my wordprocessing skills! Thankfully I took a class on WordArt.I4 of my friends went in on a Coach Tote for a friends 40th B-day. I tried to copy Coachs' bag which is white with a thick brown strip around it and a bright red interior. Notice how I put "Est. 1968" - cracked me up.
