Mini Painted Christmas Tree Card Tags

These mini card gift tags are perfect for your gift giving season. The painted Christmas trees are by no means perfect, but that's part of their charm, and they will be a great finishing touch to any gift.

Handmade Primitive Christmas Card

This Christmas card has a bit of a primitive feel to it. I'm not sure that it started out that way in the beginning, but by the time I was done tearing , cutting , and inking, this is what I ended up with. If you have a feeling to pass on some primitive vibes this Christmas, this could be the card for you. It's listed on Etsy in my Etsy store if you'd like to take a look...

Simple Friendship Note Card

There's always that friend that you can't live without... this is a great little note card to send to that person to let them know just how special they are.  It's a simple design with a great message :

--One of my greatest blessings is having you for a friend.

I think that anybody who gets a card bearing these sentiments will definitely know that their frindship is treasured...

Inspirational Magnet

I've been putting some of my artwork  onto magnets and offering the designs for sale on Zazzle. This one is coupled with a saying that I use all the time...Inspirational Magnet

Friendship Card

I like the idea of letting friends know just how important their friendship is, so this card shines a light on friendship. It's a simple design, and it doesn't have a lot of words on it, but it gets the message across...

Teacher Of The Year Card

It's always nice to recognize a great teacher. I made this card for a wonderful Spanish teacher who was chosen as the Teacher Of The Year for 2011 at one of our local elementary schools.

I think that we should always take the time to let our teachers know when they're doing an outstanding job.

Inspirational Bookmark

I like to design bookmarks that have little sayings on them. Just a simple way to share inspirational thoughts or a motivational message. This one is one of my favorites... 'Remember to count the really good blessings twice...'

Pretty Flat Cards With Stickers

I don't use stickers often, but I thought that these flowers were pretty, so I had to figure out where I would use them. I had these flat cards laying around and I decided that they were a great home for my pretty stickers. Now these cards are perfect for writing letters or for journaling... a splash of color and a hint of springtime...

A Bouquet of Hearts and Love Blank Greeting Card

It's a few more days before we get to the big "LOVE" day, so I thought I'd put this card up. I like this one because it's a simple expression of love. I think that sometimes we get caught up in only expressing our love on specific days. Why wait for just one day to say "I love you"? Everyday should be a "LOVE" day.

XOXO Punched Heart Flower Card

I recently bought a bunch of punched hearts from All About The Buttons (one of my favorite sellers) that were in her store on Zibbet, and this is one of the cards that I made with some of them. With Valentine's Day coming up I thought that I'd add it to the Etsy store.

Hearts are a really versatile shape that can become the base of lots of designs. I went with the flower on this one and added the button with thoughts of whose shop the punched hearts came from. :-)
