from boring to interesting

So a lot has changed since I started making cards 12 years ago. I now know the importance of embellishments, adding depth, and using textured and printed papers. So I have decided to revamp some of my "boring" cards that I have made over the years that are sitting on my shelf. Here is an example of one I did tonight. I took a sunflower stamped on a sage green and added some much needed color, depth, and texture to create a whole new card!!

Wedding crafts

Here are a couple projects I made for a dear friends wedding this past weekend.

Epson Salt Luminaries

I found this idea at Crafts by Amanda

I used baby food jars (And I have plenty of those!!), I put 2 drops red food coloring to 1 cup Epsom salt to get the pale pink, then I added some extra flare by adding a black ribbon. I made about 40 in all. 

Ring bearers pillow- the Bride wanted something NOT white so I made this up for her. (wedding colors were black, pink, silver.

Crib protector

I made these for the boys crib to prevent them from chewing on the rails.

Paper Shoe Favors

Candy box favors with flare!!!

I had so much fun making these for a bridal shower I hosted. 

Thank you Jeromina Juan for sharing the template on your web site.: http://paperplateandplane.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/high-heel-treat-box/
