Be Happy

Don't you just LOVE the formality of black and sparkly things? I do!! It reminds me of a Hepburn movie for some reason. Anyhoo, this card was one of the rejected (by me)designs for the Artisan Award competition. It is a very textural piece that I actually really liked. the sentiment is ever so slightly crooked which is why it remains in my possession. What do you think?

In the Stars - Patriotic card

This goes with the stuff below.

Patriotic Swap with sparkle (whoo hoo)

EVERYTHING needs some sparkly stuff.... Here's to hoping our kids and family members will be home soon!

Boleyn Cuff Bracelet

This took roughly a day to do-starting and stopping as only a mom of three kids, 3 cats, 1 hamster, and 1 husband can do. It is made with golden glass pearls, Swarovski topaz 2AB (which look sort of pinkish) and 15o gold seed beads. Truly beautiful, light catching, and classic. I will forward the pattern to any who would like it.

Unfroggetable card

This was created for a contest for SU! which I CURIOUSLY didn't win. UNFROGGETABLE stamp set was used for this masterpiece.
