Autumn is in the air...

I made these sweet autumn embellishments for a swap. I found this great quote which invoked thoughts of fall for me, the smells, the colours, the crisp air and of course your favourite knit sweaters. So I thought hmm I have this great felt made of recycled materials and these great autumns leaves with sparkles and well there you have it. I used some paper from Costco and the leaves punch is of course simply Martha Stewart...thanks for stopping by ...grab a spiced apple cider on your out...and maple sugar cookie...

H B card for a special order...

So here is the last of the 3 cards my coworker has asked me to make. This a Birthday card for her special friend. The 3 stamps are some I recently picked up in $1.50 bin at Mike's...I stamped two of them on patterned paper, the other and the sentiment on cardstock scraps. I used the branches cuttlebug folder for the background and some black ribbon. Some distressing and inking and viola the card is done...thanks for stopping by...I'm off to find a perfect saying for the inside....bye..

Friendship card...

I also had another request for a card for a dear friend. This is what I came up with for a little something special for my coworkers dear friend.

I used Martha Stewart punches for the edges, prima flowers, some misc flowers. The pearls are dollarama and gems are both micheal's and dollarama. Misc ribbon and the cream lace is from Vanessa ..thanks V.

Thank you all for stopping ...hope my coworker likes it.

Birthday card for a Mother...

I have been asked to make a card for a friends' Mother. Her mother lives back in my friends home country of Sri Lanka. I was nervous making this card I really want it to be special for her and her mother. I believe she said her Mom was in her 80's. I hope she likes it...

I embossed the cover with a cuttlebug embossing folder, sanded it and then put stickles all over the leaves. I distressed all the edges and I heat embossed the words. The butterflies are done with the Martha Stewart punches and the leaves are dollarama. The brown flower I just can't remember I think maybe Tammy gave them to me. The brown pearls I love and those are from Dollarama. Thanks for stopping by.

A card for a dear friend...

I made this card for a dear friend who lost someone special...I loved this stamp and thought it would lend itself beautifully with the saying I chose for the front of the card..I used twinkling H2O's after embossing the image....The flowers are from dollarama....thanks for coming by.

I was published in my favourite magazine..

That's me and my son holding the magazine, he took all the pictures of me and morning face sorry about that...

I am thrilled this is my two minutes of fame...I have never been recognized publicly for anything I have done before...this is a first and a moment to remember for me...

I made a whole album of my aunt's backyard and I decided to send this one in. I must have done so at the right time. Months later I was sent an email saying they would love to use my layout in the upcoming Canadian Scrapbooker basics 4...I was floored really ...really ?...it was true I sent it off and then waited oh about 3 months before the layout came back and another 3 weeks before the magazine came out..I was nervous, excited, embarrassed, proud, scared you name it I went through all the emotions obviously I am not good with recognition...anyhow that's my story and here are my pictures and please understand I send in lots and lots of layout all the time never expecting to hear anything so don't be discouraged just keep sending stuff in and you never know....I am glad that all the money I spend on my craft of choice lead me to this wonderful moment that I can share with my son and family, and all of you my extended family...thank you for all the support and caring...okay how was that for my two minutes of fame speech...lol...
