I'm so excited that I have the option of downloading the digital edition of my favorite magazines.

Money Tree!

I had to post this...but my husband will probably get me for doing it. This is what his brothers and sisters gave him for his birthday...yes, it's a money tree. The Tatum siblings do something special for each one when they turn '60' years old. This was one of the choices...Hum...I think I like this...do you think he will share?

Shhh...don't tell him I posted this...this is just between us...okay! Thanks for visiting...see you soon.

A Pink Mini...for a new baby!

I wanted to share this simply cute mini album that I made for one of my co-workers. Her newest granddaughter was born just a few weeks ago. Her name is Aubrey...a pretty name for a pretty girl.

The base of the album was made with heavy-duty watercolor paper, then score at 6 inches to make 4 panels. I tried to stick with just pink and white...but then added a little green because of the paper I used for the front and back covers. Adding butterflies to an album, whether for a boy or girl, is always a good embellishment. I also decided to add some small pearls to put some sparkle on the wings.

On the inside pages I added white flowers and pink buttons on one side and white flowers with green buttons on the other side. Lastly, The two middle panels were made into pockets, so I made two tags for grandma to write her first memories of baby Aubrey on. It's a fairly simply album as you will see in the photos below.

Whew, it's been along time...here is a card for starters!

Hello everyone, it's been a while...but I'm back and ready to show you some of the projects that I have been working on. Today I'll show my July card that I made for a card swap. I used my copic sketch markers and did a little coloring. I added faux stitching around the image in black and around the card in white using the Uni-ball Signo broad pen. This is the best white pen (in my opinion) on the market. The image is raised with foam tape. I added some twine around the bottom and tied a bow for added texture and to fill out the blank space at the bottom.

It's a simple 'thank you' card inspired by kwernerdesign 'Friday Focus' series that was posted on July 6, 2012. You make click here to visit her blog.
