My first time making altered dominoes and had so much fun doing so. 


Love to see this each morning when I walk down the stairs!


Used 2x3 clip art covered with Crackle Accents and inked, Tim Holtz clips adhered with Glossy Accents and velvet trim to finish.

Holiday Post Cards

Off to the mailbox with some vintage styled post cards for the holidays...





Used the My Minds Eye: Found Christmas collection to create these holiday post cards. Post card stamp is from Hampton Art.  Adhered paper pieces with Scotch Quick Dry Glue and highlighted with Stickles and Sepia colored Archival Ink.  Fun and easy holiday project!

Vintage Birthday

I really enjoyed making this birthday card for my mom...


I used enamel embossing on the chipboard dress form, and hand sewed beads to the waist band. The paper doilies were stamped and sporadically covered with gloss medium and distressed glitter. Bottle cap added with sweet sentiment.

Created this layered card with the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes 12 x12 paper pad, which includes coordinating velum sheets.  Love this paper.  See video below for a look at the paper and more on the card.


Stiched velum script paper to ledger paper and layered with additional paper on corrugated card (card edged with white acrylic paint and Sparkle Mod Podge). Copic colored and paper pieced little girl using Unity stamp: Every Breath, raised on dimensionals.  Embossed sentiment and raised on banner.  Added trims (with more stitching), bling, Sizzlet cut swirls, stick pins and flower rosettes.
