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 have to say that Groovy Guava is one of my new favorite colors this season. Against the Soft Sky, it really pops. Love it!.

I used the paper piercer to do a faux stitching effect on the soft sky strip and roughed the edges with a bone folder. To finish it off, I added a rhinestone brad from the fire collection and inked the edges.

I made this simple Father's Day car for one of my brothers a couple years ago. The dragonfly image was stamped with mellow moss ink on a vellum copper tag. I used a heat gun to dry the ink and set it in the vellum so it wouldn't smear.

The cover of a 6x6 one sheet wonder scrapbook album that I made for my mother-in-law when we were visiting her in Maui. After stamping the very vanilla and old olive cardstock on both sides, I simply cut the sheets in half. I used one of each strip folded in half as my pages. Then, I cut the 2 remaining strips in two and adhered them to the pages before assembling them.

A simple display of the inside of the Maui one-sheet-wonder book, displaying a beautiful sunset that was on the beach near Kihea. I love how the colors from the album brings out those in the sky.
