more cards!

Here are some more cards. All the same floral print paper and coordinating solids. I love to sand the edges of the textured cardstock. Enjoy!

Black and White Quilt

Here it is all pieced and partly quilted. This all happened in about 24 hours. Yes, I get obsessed with these things.
I choose some fabric and started to measure out where I wanted it on the floor. The fabric with big white flowers I got at the Salvation Army for 50 cents. I just love it.
Tuesday I decided to make a Quilt to go over my bed. The colors are black and white in our bedroom. I still had leftover fabric from the curtains and pillows so I thought I'd make a quilt with those leftover scraps. These are the first sketches (I hardly ever use a pattern).

Baby Cards

These are my latest baby cards. My favorite one is the onesie. I got the pattern off of a card someone had sent to me. I cut the onesie out of felt and detail stitched the arms, neck, and legs. The stitching really makes it cute and look "finished". I then added a fuzzy star to match the background paper.
The hand card is simply a die cut hand mounted on a tag with added ribbon and mounted onto a card.
The middle card is inspired by a card in the stampin' up catalog. Simply different style letters to spell "baby" on a card with the second B framed with a bookplate die. This card took some time, but I really like the results.

Valentine's Day Cards

A close up shows my favorite thing about this card, the paper clip with beads on it. I saw this idea on a web site and thought it was really cute (not to mention easy and cheap!).
The stamps that I used on these cards were in the dollar bin at Target (4 in a package). I just love them and they are pretty good quality for $1. I will be posting more cards soon!
