Boutique

Well, unfortunately the Santa Ana winds made it unpleasant to go out so it was a small crowd for the Boutique.  Oh, well!  The best part of the day was when I got home and my 8 year old son Cameron asked if he could go through all the things I brought back.  He was so excited and kept telling me how beautiful my things were and he wanted to buy some.  I gave him a few things and he proceeded to buy $20 worth of them and insisted that he pay for them.  How incredibly sweet is that!

More Boutique Items!

Here are some more of the things I'm making for the Boutique on Saturday!

Easter Treat Bags

Something new! ~ Stamped Candles

I hope people like my things and are able to come!  :-)

Business Card Holder

I needed a holder for my new business cards and wanted something pretty...so I created one!  I figured out how to do it by trial and error and using basic box making how-to's.  I'm pretty excited that I came up with it on my own!  I also made sure I wrote down all the measurements and instructions so I can do it again!  Here are some pictures of it.

Treat Bags for Easter

Yellow Rose Easter Card

This is one of the projects I worked on yesterday.  I love soft yellow and whitle together espcially with the embossed polka dots.  Here is the front and inside of the card.

Cherry Blossom & Bird Frame

This is one of the projects I worked on today.  I took a white frame and altered it with paper and made a picture for it with a cherry blossom stamp and my bird punch.  I love the soft colors!

I thought this would make a nice Mother's Day gift with a matching card!

Becca's Blog Candy

Yeah!!!  I won Becca's Blog Candy shown here on Amazing Paper Grace!!!  I'm so excited!  This was my first time posting on a blog candy - until a couple of months ago, I didn't even know what blog candy was!  Horray!  I'm getting more stamps from JustRite Stamps!  I can't wait.  Thank you Lord for your wonderful blessings!

Unique Boutique

Wow!  I guess I haven't posted in a while!  I've been very busy making things for the Boutique I'll be at on Saturday, March 27th.  Here is a copy of the flyer.  Hope to see you there if you can make it!  Kathy

Rose for Mom Card

I started this card originally for the Very Vintage challenge TLC263 on Split Coast Stampers, but I'm not sure it's really that vintage.  Probably vintage enough.


Somewhere along the way, it turned into a special card for my mom who passed away 3 years ago as of Sunday the 14th. She loved roses and when I first got this stamp set (my first set) back in the 90's (?), I made her a bunch of cards gold embossed and colored with markers.  She loved those little cards.

I've been doing crafts pretty much since I was born and she always wanted me to have a gift shop to sell the things I've made. Since last summer, I have been doing these papercrafts almost every free minute I have and even did 4 craft show/boutiques. I keep thinking about how happy she would be to see what I have been doing these past few months. I think she would be proud of my accomplishments.

Another Favorite of the Week!

I've been without my computer for the last few days so I'm finally able to post!  It happened again...2 weeks in a row!!  This time my "Vintage Rose" card was on the Favorites for the Week of 3/7/10 by Stamping Servant!  That's incredible!!  Makes me want to keep on creating.  I love this card too and can't wait to make some more.

Right now, I'm getting ready for a boutique on 3/27 and organizing my craft room...off to work I go!

Tulip Bouquet

I made this card for my first challenge on SCS.  It took me a long time to make this one...I've been working on it for a week.  I was playing with the new 2-step bird punch last week when I did the Bird Brag Book, and noticed the wings looked kind of like a tulip flower.  I noticed a challenge for "paper piecing" and figured I'd try it out.  I finally submitted it today.  I like the cheerful colors on it.

Vintage Rose Card

This is a card I made last night using the Vintage Vogue stamp set and Soft Suede paper.  I love both of these.  This time I matched the paper with Sage Shadow.  I love the color combo.  This could be used for any occasion.
........UPDATE....this was a Favorite of the Week on SCS!!

Vintage Coral Mother's Day Card

This is another version I did of the Vintage Vogue card.
