Pink & Green Monogrammed J

I LOVE this color combination! I think it is my new favorite!

A wonderful customer placed an order for four sets of monogrammed cards with matching beaded pens. She chose the color combinations and I went from there. For this pink and green set, I gave her a few different options, and this was the one she picked. I love the way they turned out!

Each card turned out slightly different in the set due to the pattern on the paper, which I think makes the cards even more fun! And I don't know what it is, but making the beaded pens to match brings me so much satisfaction! It always puts a smile on my face!

Happy Father's Day!

I just want to say Happy Father's Day to the special dads in my life. My own fabulous Dad, My amazing husband and Dad to our children, and My wonderful Father-in-law. Happy Father's Day!

I have two more Father's Day cards today. Very simple, though I apparently was on a shirt kick! I need to come up with some new designs!

Baby, Baby, Oh...

Oh....no, you won't find what you may have thought you would here! No singing, and no JB!

Instead, I have today a couple of baby cards. I made this quite some time ago and put them in my Etsy shop (which I just "reopened" yesterday. There's not a lot in there yet, but more is coming!). These were some of my very first cards to sell and I was so excited! That was the beginning of my business. I didn't do much on Etsy as I got busy with word of mouth orders. Then life got in the way and I quit creating altogether...but that's all about to change again! YAY!

Anyway...here are the cards:

Oh, and FYI - you can now find me on Facebook! Be sure to click over and "like" me!

For the Graduate

Today I thought I'd share a few graduation cards. I love classic black and white for graduation cards...they are fit for anyone!

Here is a set of graduation thank you cards in black and white.

But I also like to do school colors whenever I can. That was the case in this one.

How About a Little Mother's Day?

I think I'll take a break for a day or two from Father's Day cards and post different ones. I know Mother's Day has come and gone, but I wasn't back to blogging then, so why not put them here a little late?

Often when I create a card I like, I'll create it again in a different color or with just a little change. In this case, I used the same design and changed up the colors.

And I did the same with this one - just changed the colors.

That's all for now - I'll be back with something different tomorrow!

Father's Day

Since Father's Day is coming up, I thought I'd start by posting a few cards I've made. The one I'm posting today I actually never posted on my old blog. It apparently got "lost" on my hard drive. But now it's found and here it is:

The shirt is an origami fold, and I believe that was my first attempt ever. I made a couple more with this fold, but haven't located them yet. If I find them, I'll get them posted.
