Welcome Annalee

Hello Ai fans!  

Today I'm sharing a sort of unusual baby card.  Our band director at school who is also in a band is expecting his first baby.  I wanted to do a music themed card to represent his love of music and the name he and his wife picked out...Annalee like the song by Levon Helm.  Here's the link if you're interested.  It's a very pretty song.

I've used the adorable Little Sprout #4317.

I know it's not your typical baby girl card but that's one of the most wonderful thing about being a card maker.  You can customize your card ANY way you want to suit the recipient.  I defy you to find a more appropriate card for him in any store!

With Sympathy

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Renee here and today I'm sharing a sympathy card with you. 

My friend who is one of my most loyal customers needed a sympathy card last week and this is what I made for her.  I used two images and one verse from I Brake For Stamps on my card.

The flowers are called LARGE VIOLET STEM and BOTANICAL and the verse is from the sheet EVERY DAY PHRASES.

Inside I used the sympathy verse MEMORIES COMFORT YOU

and the stamp called FOXGLOVE and BIRD SILHOUETTE .

I stamped all of the flowers twice so that I could pop them up and give them dimension.

I Brake For Beautiful Flowers!

Happy Saturday everyone!

I just received a new shipment from I Brake For Stamps and I couldn't be happier!!  It's like Christmas when I open a new box of stamps.

Today I'm sharing the set called BOTANICAL.

 It's a set of five, two images and 3 verses.

I've also used the verse OLD FRIENDS.

Not only were there stamps in my box but some beautiful WILD ORCHID FLOWERS as well!

The flowers actually inspired my whole card.  I tried to color the image to match the flowers.

I used 2-tone Champagne Pink Cherry Blossom,  10mm Golden Yellow Open Roses and 15mm Cream Open Roses.  Aren't they gorgeous!  You can trim the stems off if you like but often I curl them (using my piercing tool) and leave them sticking out.  I think it gives them a bit of a whimsical vine look.

My family has 7 birthdays in March so I always have to get started early.

This one will be for my sister-in-law.

The birthday sentiment inside is also found in the Botanical set.

Here's a close up of the beautiful flower.
