Rose Necklace




This is one of those pieces that took forever to come together.  I've started and stopped, ripped out and changed the focal bead.   Finally here it is.   I love it!   I have a hard time using fancy and/or expensive beads even though I have a large collection, this time I went for it and am so happy I did.

Baby Brother's Birthday


I love the various button bit stamp sets I have and with my brothers birthday coming I pulled out the balloon one and put this together.   I love the primary colors and the big patterned paper in the background that mimics the balloons.    Happy Birthday Adam!

You're my cup of tea - Valentine's Card

Card Front

Card Inside

My husband has discovered tea and decided he likes it! I've always loved tea, green, robios, herbal, some black.... But after our recent vacation he's decided he really likes the stuff. So for valentine's day this year I decided to get him teas from tea forte in the heart box and make a card along the same lines. Here's what I came up with.

Cherries - You're so sweet

Card Front

Card Inside

The front makes use of Everyday Button Bits from Papertrey Inc. The inside uses a sentiment from a studio g $1 stamp set. I love the cherry motif but am having a hard time figuring out an "event" that's appropriate. So I liked the "you're so sweet" saying, and decided to couple it with "thanks so much". Many more cherry cards are in my future.
