So I am really trying to keep up with this! I designed this card for one of my friends who does ballet workouts! I came up with the drawing, fussy cut it and then did a watercolor background.

I used foam tape on my fit chick and cut a craft dowel down to make the barre. I have a post for Quick Quotes coming up soon and after that I will be reviewing the Zig Clean Color 48 pack. Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!

My favorite thing to do right now! I have been making cards like crazy and using markers and stamps. These are the cards I've made in the past week. 

 

Tons of thanks!

This was done with Copic markers, distress ink, and then matted.

This used a stencil I created with my Cricut,  Copic markers, distress ink,  some miniature gears, and then it was layered.

I am starting this in the hopes that other people will do it too and we can all spread some joy. I handmake things all the time, from yarn to paper, I'm always creating. I decided this year I would make 1 dozen hand made cards and bag them up with other handmade items and "drop" them as gifts.  My hope is that people will find them and be prompted to do the same thing. I did my first one today, so I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes, here's the first drop.

I recently became a designer for Darby Smart and my first launch was a boxed set of Christmas cards with my original designs on them.  There are 3 designs right now, and soon I will have a total of 6.

I am so happy to be able to debut my own artwork on greeting cards. I have a few more designs in my head that could come in handy.  Hope you're inspired, happy crafting!
