This home decor item I am posting is actually like an old fashioned school desk. The lid lifts up and it has a place just above the bears to place your pencils or crayons. I purchased the wooden box, sanded it, stained it, I have to outline the template on the item and trace it out so you can go back and start the process and after all that I can than start to tole paint the bears on the front. I sit back and look at how I originally started this craft but stopped a while ago. If you could see the first piece I have done you will notice how far I am come in tole painting. I know there are many of you that know how to tole paint, I just thought I would give a little lesson on how this process is done for those that don't know. Enjoy

This card is a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. I embossed the card stock with a new floral embossing folder which I believe is from stampin up. I than embellished it with rhinestones and some coordinating butterflies that are spellbinders die cuts. I decorated the butterflies which are already have a sparkle to them with rhinestones down the center of them.

Bridal Shower Card

Here is a photo of a custom card that my neighbor asked me for last night and needed for early today. I am thrilled with the way it turned out, but of course I had help with Anna Fearer's flowers to add to the outside of the card. I can't wait until I get an update from her on what response she received.

I used Anna Griffin card stock a pretty wired textured ribbon and added the cake embellishment. So with every thing together it came out great and thanks to Anna's flowers. It made it easy for me to create although I added other items to the ribbon like velum wording and hated all of them so that is when I decided to add the cake. Since the card stock is ivory I didn't want anything white to stand out, but the cake looks good because of the pearls on each layer and than the flowers going up the cake are ivory with pearls which worked out great.

I am Back

Alright ladies I know that I took a little break from the paper crafting world to take care of my 4 legged baby that needed surgery. He is doing great so I am able to get back in the swing of things. I know I missed a lot and missed all of my friends. I will be posting some easter and mother days card soon.
