Handmade Cards from the Heart

I wanted to share a few handmade cards that I made last week.


Birthday card for a girlfriend of mine.


Thinking of You card for another friend.


Another Birthday card for another friend.


Anniversary card for my husband.

I love to make handmade cards for our friends and family. There's always an extra ounce of sentiment included with the card and all of the recipients seem to love them too. Plus it's a great way to use up some scraps and they'll never have a clue :)

I hope you have a great day and remember if it's handmade, it's heartmade...

Another Sneak Peek

Toady is my friend Malinda's birthday. We've known each other ever since we were in diapers and still talk to this day. I miss her though, she lives in Georgia and me in Missouri. How did 2 little Buckeye girls end up so far from home?

Anyhow, in honor of Malinda's birthday, I'm giving you a sneak peek of what's going into a new birthday layout for my Etsy store. These yummy little papers from bella Boulevard will be the foundation for what I hope will become a popular layout in my store. I'll be posting pictures next week of the completed item so stay tuned.



Miss you Malinda! Get well and I love you!

Featured on my Handmade Registry

Wow! This morning I woke up and did my usual routine of checking my email, ScrapBiz, Facebook, and of course my Etsy store. Imagine the joy that I felt when waiting for me was a convo. (For those of you not familar with Etsy, a convo is like an email that you receive through Etsy)
Excitedly I clicked on the convo and was surprised to learn that one of my listings has been featured on the front page of my Handemade Registry! Wow!
Have you seen this site before? It's way cool. Working like a gift registry at Macy's, JC Penney, or even target, you can choose all things handmade from various Etsy artists and actually register for your wedding, baby shower, even your birthday here. Then just let your loved ones know where you're registered and voila, you get all the handmade goodies you like! Well, that is, only if they purchase them. It's not exactly magic, but pretty darn close!
I encourage you to check it out today!
