Bonjour!

This darling little girl is an image from a 1960's french postcard. I couldn't wait to create a card with her!

Guy birthday cards

These are a couple of guy birthday cards that I've done recently.

I say again, I think they're kind of hard to do. I always want to add something frilly!

Happy Birthday, Curly-Locks!

This is Lauren's birthday card. Curly-Locks is from an old nursery rhyme book we have. You can see her sitting on cushion sewing a fine seam.
Curly-Locks fits Lauren as you can see in this photo (although instead of sewing, she knits):

This is an old porcelain piece we got Lauren for her birthday. I think it is so cute!

And this is a 1960s desk we found for her when we were in Wichita a few weeks ago.

Here are the cupcakes I made for Lauren and mom - red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

This is mom's birthday present. She loves paper dolls, so I made her a paper doll display. When she gets a new paperdoll she can display it and then change it out when she wants to.

Lauren comes today!

Lauren will be here this evening! I can't wait to see her - it's been about a month since I saw her last. We'll be celebrating her and my mom's birthdays on Saturday. I made cupcakes today. If I figure out something cute to do with them, I'll post a picture. Here are a couple of cards I've made recently:


I think these Dolly Dingle girls are so cute! I made little tissue roses for their hats. And this is the card (also Dolly Dingle) that I made for Daddy to give to Mom for her birthday:

I can't post what I made for her yet, because she won't get it until tomorrow. Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy Easter!

Here are a few Easter cards. A couple I actually did last year, but I didn't have a blog then!

A baby book for Shelby Mae

A friend of a friend emailed me and asked me to create a book for a little girl turning one. She had the idea of a book of firsts. This is what I came up with:

Happy Anniversary, Kirby!

This is a card I created for Kirby to give to his wife, Gail, for their anniversary last week. I love silhouettes and am always looking for ones that I would like to use on cards. I thought this one was perfect for an anniversary. I also love the flower. I have them in pink, burgundy, and lilac, too! The paper is new Basic Grey.
