Pretty Princess

Hello Friends,

Today's card I am dedicating to my beautiful twin girls, Casandra and Marissa. They are the most precious little girls and they bring a sparkle to my life every single day! Every day I tell them that they are pretty princesses and I love to hear them run and tell Daddy, "I'm a pretty princess". So I wanted to make a card that I could give to them that was extra special. This card is dressed up with vellum, pearls, and ribbons.I hope it inspires you to make one for that special little girl in your lives! Have a wonderful day!

Monkey Business

Hello Friends,

Today's card is a waterfall card. I wanted to make this little monkey doing somersaults for someone's birthday. I think it would be such a cute kids birthday card. When I am ready to give this card away, I plan on stamping, "Look Who's Turning..." on the first page and at the end of the somersault have the last monkey holding the number of the birthday child. I have included pictures of the front of the card and the inside and just so you can see how it works I have included a little video. I hope you love this card as much as I do!

Owl in the Family

Hello Friends,

Don't you just love Owls? I think they are so majestic but in today's card simply adorable! 

Did you know:

• Unlike most animals, they have three eyelids: one for blinking, second for sleeping, and third for keeping eyes tidy.
• Owls don’t have ears as such, but they do have slits on both sides of the head, just behind their facial disks.
• The female owls are heavier and feistier than the male owls. They can weigh as much as 25% more than the males.
• Owls can communicate with different sounds.
• Owls have an exceptional hearing capability. They can hear the movement of their prey from a long distance. Moreover, they can open and close their ears.
• Even though owls like to live aloof, but interestingly a group of owls is called “Parliament” because owls are considered as the birds with wise character.
• Owls have long been found in France’s cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and in Mayan art, which shows that they have been artistic symbols since the ancient period.
• Elf owl is the smallest specie of owl, weighing about 31 g and measuring 13.5 cm.
• The great grey owl is the longest owl that measures between 70 cm to 84 cm, while the similar-sized eagle owls—the eurasian eagle owl and blackiston’s fish owl—are the heaviest ones.
• The eggs of an owl do not hatch at the same time as they are laid at the intervals of 1 to 3 days.
• Owls were often associated with the god of death, Aztec.
• In the hindu mythology, owl is considered as the vahana of goddess Lakshmi.

So on to my card; This is called a center side step card. It's the kind of card you would give to someone to place on their desk at work, so that every time they look at it brings a smile to their face. I made an owl family relaxing in the sunshine. I just love this card!! I hope you do too.

Now onto my card...

This card base is made from an envelope. One of my dearest friends showed me the concept and I couldn't wait to make one of my own using a different set of course.
