This is one of the cards I did at my last workshop. Love it.

The green paper is actually copy paper. I rubbed my ink pad over it front and back and then stamped Noted backgrounds in chocolate while still wet. The side you see is the back of the copy paper. Then I inked the leaves and distressed with chocolate. The leaves are from Many Thanks.

This is going for a challenge at the Heart 2 Heart blog.....hope I make the deadline...it's 9:56pm my time!! Deadline is 10pm!!!

Baby gift......door hanger

I made this little door hanger for a dear friends new baby boy!! I just hope her hubby doesn't think it's too girly!! LOL! I love it, and so does my 4 year old. He actually gave his input on placement of the ruffles. He said it looked like the waves in the ocean. I love making the little box pleat ruffles I lifted from Teresa Black!!

Sorry it's taken several posts. Blogger and picasa were not being very cooperative this evening!! Enjoy. My style is very simplicitic....I love Kraft and white cardstock for the base so most all my layouts use that. I also seem to have the same layout in someway or another.

I follow the Greenbean Crafterole's blog, and she has some amazing ideas on there!! She had chalkboard tutu tutorial on her blog, and I thought easy enough! I love it! It is going to Anna Grace's dance teacher! This is a 11x14 canvas that I picked up at Big Lots. I then just took a can of chalkboard spraypaint and painted away! It was so easy and quick!
