The Look

Bear with me - I want to get this right. So there may be some changes. But hopefully then I can commit to them and this place will look the same for a while. :)

Sophia's Card

Here are some pictures of a card that my budding artist, Sophia, made for her G'pa! She took the photos of the card too! Isn't she great?! :)

Sophie creates her own designs. Sometimes she asks me for help, but usually she won't let me tell her how to do anything! :) She loves this stuff. I wonder where she got that?

Cards for Guys

A couple of months ago I decided to go into the card making business. I have made a number of wedding invitations over the years and occasionally throw together a card, but nothing was official. So now that people are asking for specific cards, it's not just girly stuff. :) What about graduation cards for boys? What about a birthday card for my uncle? So here's a few examples of what I've come up with so far. Drop me a link if you have other good card ideas that won't get an eye roll from the husband.

Happy 60th!

Spring Baby

The first official post of my work! This is one of my favorite pages I've made lately. Probably b/c my baby girl on the page is already 2, and she's soo sweet here! She might even be less than a month. (Am I the only one who labels a page and then thinks, wait a minute...) Anyway, this was a product of a late night scrapping with Christine whose input helped to lead to this result! Thanks, friend!

A New Blog

This is a brand new blog for me. I have a few others, but I've decided it's time to go public with my papercrafting. It's a big deal for me and my insecurities, but we're taking the leap.

One reason I've been insecure, is because my pages tend to be more simple than many I see. I am amazed at what people can do with their pages, but I like a clean and simple look. And until quite recently, I didn't realize that there is a community out there of people who also share this approach.

So I'm excited about becoming a part of this community and sharing my minimalist approach with the world. I hope it can be an inspiration to papercrafters, new and old. If you are reading and there are no samples of my work yet, please come back and visit in a few days! I will be uploading sometime tonight!
