practice makes perfect

Well, I tried to duplicate some of Michelle's cards after taking her class. I picked some of the direct to paper, but had to change the colors a bit. Sorry, couldn't figure out how to rotate this one.

took a class or two

Well  I actually did it. I bit the bullet and saved for two classes by Michele Zindorf'. Hopefully you will see more brayered and direct to paper cards in my future. Right now, I'm busy with Xmas cards. Then the hubby asked me to make some gift sets for him. If only we could all purchase extra time ;-)

Hopefully will have something to show soon.

Here are a couple of my new friend cards. I just ordered some really fun stamps. Can't wait til they get here.

Getting ready for fall

I'm hoping that the more Halloween and fall cards I make the cooler it will become outside. I love fall!! The colors, the comfort foods, and omost of all the cooler weather. Don't ge me wrong. I love Summer too. But here in CA, it can get a bit warm and its never when you expect it. Here are a couple of my newest cards. They are available at Imagine That in Franklin, CA. It is the cutest store! Go and check it out.

Check it out

Well, my cards are now in a store called "Imagine That". Its located in Franklin CA, just south of Elk Grove. It is the cutest little gift shop. Please check it out. She has a ladies night every 2nd Thursday of the month from 6:00p -9:00p. Mary, the owner is getting ready to start getting into the home decor portion a bit more with some furniture too! My favorites are the embellish your story line. Here are some of the new cards I have at the shop.

Out of my comfort zone

Well in just over a week, I will be meeting with a retailer to see if she is interested in purchasing and selling my cards. I am not very good at tooting my own horn. Hopefully my work will speak for itself and I can support my habit by selling my creations. Wish me luck!

Recent Cards

Well, I'm finally trying to get back in the craft room. Bear with me while I try to get my act together. Sports, kids, work, husband, housework, yardwork, all seem to take a precedence these days. I'm sending a few pics of cards done recently. Hoping to start incorporating by CM creations here too.
