Heart Owl

Well, I FINALLY have been able to sit down and make a card AND I have a new camera to document any of my new creations. Yay! I have been working on this owl (creating him in Photoshop) for a while and making a kit around him (kit meaning coordinating papers and other elements that you could use for card making or scrapbooking or whatever else you can think of). I think he's ultra cute and that's why I want to share him with you all. I'm still working on the other papers and things for his kit so I guess we'll just call him a tease.

Here's a card I made with my owl:

The card was made using the striped paper from Lettering Delight's Gone Fishin' paper pack, I got the branch from a dingbat in their Woodsy collection, and the font is DB Kerri which can be found at Scrap N' Fonts until May 5th when it's gone for good. Oh, and of course the owl is from GreatHands Designs which is me! Ü I don't know if you can tell by the picture but the owl is adhered using pop dots (small circular adhesive 'pads' that help your item stick to your creation while lifting it up off the page slightly) to give it some dimension. The leaves are only adhered at the tips with glue and have been bent up and slightly folded in the middle also to give it some dimension. I also sponged the sides of all the leaves, tree branch, owl and sentiment banner. It felt really good to finally make a paper card. It had been too long but I'm pretty happy with it even if the picture doesn't do it justice.

Anyhoo...

Here's the guy you've all been waiting for:

Spinning Card

I haven't been able to post on here in a while because I have been cameralos for months. I have been reading, blogs, however and came across this really cute idea. Where DO people come up with these things?

Jane's Birthday

This is the first card I've ever made consisting mostly of stickers. Stickers scare me because once they are down, they're down and I change my mind all the time. This card turned out okay for my first try, I think.

Only my husband knows the true, underlying meanings in this anniversary card I made for him for our 6th anniversary (while we were camping, mind you).
