easter blessings card

The Prima papers and Silver liquid pearls were my next focus with this Easter card! I just love working with Liquid pearls - you can make your own flourishes and embellishments at a fraction of the price of buying a ready-made pearl embellishment pack.

noel layout

I finally made a Holiday 2008 layout! I wanted a formal approach to this page and the BasicGrey Wassail collection really complimented the hues in the photo. I painted over the chipboard frame with cranberry paint and topped it with the gorgeous Shimmerz Antique Lace paint.
I used an antique color layer on the photo in Photoshop elements from the Ezactions.com website.

back to nature card

How could I have not used this adorable collection yet? The Cosmo Cricket Mr. Campy items has been staring at me for months and I just couldn't decide what to start on first...

This is a birthday card for my Dad who is a big Nature lover. He loves camping and anything to do with the Outdoors. He also really likes cute characters too -- the man has a Spongebob Squarepants case for his reading glasses. So funny!
