Sassy Studio Design Leather and Lace challenge

The lovely ladies of Sassy Studio Designs are having their weekly challenge. This week the theme is leather and lace.

Birthday cards

I love making birthday cards for kids. With three boys of my own and numerous kids in my family I am always tweaking my cards.

Joy fold cards

I have been experimenting with various card folds and I discovered this cool fold from the lovely ladies of Splitcoaststampers. The joy fold card as it is called takes your card making up a notch and it will bring a smile to anyone's face.

Easter card

For Easter I made an adult card as well as a card suitable for children. In the adult card I used Photoshop Elements for the swirl design and then I made a gatefold card holder with DCWV  Royal Garden paper. The children's card is a pop up card with die cuts from cricut.

Hello Spring

Its been a long time I shouldn't have left you for so long. The holidays are over and my favorite time of the year is Spring. Over the past few months I've been trying to craft as much as possible but with a family of five it has been challenging. I am excited to start showcasing my cards and crafts again. One of the things I was able to accomplish during my hiatus was the design of my sister's baby shower invitation.  She didn't want the typical invite so I used a modern design from Riefka designs over on Mygrafico.com. The image was recolored in photoshop elements and the details were also added using that software. A matching thank you card accompanied the invite as well.
