This card features a photo I took with my hipstamatic app on my iphone! I crocheted the flower embellishments too...

Butterfly

I have been having so much fun making cards lately! This card features some lettering, and even a little bit of sewing! Thanks to my friend Ruth, my button collection has grown by leaps and bounds, so you will be seeing lots of buttons in my work from now on!

More Cards!

More Flower Doodles!

I have been creating samples for my Delightful Doodles class, and so I have been revisiting some of my designs.  I thought I would try doing some on kraft paper, outlining with a gel pen.  I think that I will eventually use these on greeting cards.

A collage that I put together while I was on my holidays.  The large beaded embellishment is a treasure that I found at a garage sale for a quarter.  I love garage sales! You never know what you may find...

Goodbye.

I had to say goodbye to my sweet Toby today. He was my shadow for 15 years, a heartbeat at my feet while I rocked babies to sleep, a snoring companion while I waited for kids to come home late at night. Toby, I hope that heaven is a place where you can chase the Goldens with boundless energy, and that there are more bars of soap than even you could possibly eat. I love you, Buddy.

Flower Doodles

I was playing with some flower doodles, as I have been working through my doodles class along side a group from Artists of the Round Table... I will probably end up putting these on cards.

More creations...not on Etsy yet, but they will be! 

 

The beautiful vintage image of a little girl with a butterfly came from the Graphics Fairy, and has quickly become one of my favourite images to use on cards.  I just love combining vintage images with found images and my own doodles!

By the way, visit my etsy shop, Delightful Doodles to where you can purchase this card and many more!

Another handmade greeting card, featuring buttons, lace, a vintage image (I used a slideholder for the frame) and some of my own lettering.
