It's a Boy!

I just finished the invitations for my friend's shower and got them into the mail today. I think they're adorable and the train themed cards were special editions for the family (her hubby is an avid model train'er.) I'm really looking forward to the shower - too bad we have to wait until February! But, if the beginning of 2010 is anything like the end of 2009, it will be here really fast!

Thanks a Bunch

I decided to play along with this week's Mojo Monday Challenge (hosted by the brilliant divas at Verve) and came up with this fun card. Am I allowed to say that I totally love it? :)

I've had this stamp set for eons and finally just used it for the first time today. I stamped the monkey and the tag first but had to let it sit for a while because I was stumped. Then I remembered I had that great vine ribbon and it just came together after that.

Santa's Workshop!

I am so pleased to have my first commissioned order! A lovely customer saw this card on my Etsy site and asked if I could make 30 for her to send in time for Christmas. If my craft room didn't resemble Santa's workshop, it sure does now! There is glitter, pretty ink, silver twine, snowmen, and ornaments all over. What fun!

I am so honored and excited to do it for her - I sure hope she likes them!
