This is the thank you card I made after the birth of my daughter. It was a very difficult time in my life. I was recovering from an emergency caesarean along with suffering from sever postpartum depression. It was amazing how many people came out of the woodwork to help me and my family. I had meals delivered every night for 2 weeks. Groups came over to clean my house. They donated diapers and two years worth of baby clothes. Needless to say, I made a lot of these cards.

The image was rolled with a wheel in black ink and color washed with aqua painters. I layered it over torn cardstock. The "Thanks" tag is anchored with hodgepodge hardware treaded through twill tape and set off with grosgrain ribbon.

I stamped the sketched image with Stazon black and added color with an aqua painter for a watercolored effect. Embellishments include pieces from the copper hodgepodge hardware kit and grosgrain ribbon.

This simple scrapbook page features a color blocking layout and is embellished with stamped snowflakes to match the colors in the layout. Although not traditionally colors for winter layouts, I chose them because of their strong masculine feel that complimented the photo of my son, Brandon.

The image of the girl in the field was inked with watercolor techniques using an aqua painter. I ran the base of the image through a paper crimper and then across a perfect plum ink pad. The top is embellished with a faux knot.

This was one of my favorite stamp sets and I was sad when it didn't make it into the main catalog. I layered torn and crumpled cardstock that had been inked for texture and depth. The corner fold-up is anchored with moss eyelets and tied with black gingham ribbon.

Created for one of my stamp camps, this card used craft ink on a flower chipboard piece as the focal point. For additional embellishments, I used twill tape, stitched ribbon and silver brads.

Every year, when a new SU idea book and catalog is due to come out, my group always gets together to swap cards made with the new hostess sets. The sets I used for this one are from the 2006-2007 catalog. What's cool about this card is that it incorporates a color from each of the 4 color families, yet they work well together.
