SOME NEW CARDS...

I am really happy with the way these cards have turned out! I think I have taken my photocards to the next level!
What do you think?
Sentiments are from Hero Arts, and the big Dahlia is a cling stamp from Stampendous.

A FEW NEW FRAMES

Here are some new frames that I gave as gifts recently. They were most appreciated!

sorry for the not so good photographs...had to shoot them in low light before wrapping them!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

SOME NEW FRAMES

Here are a few frames I made recently...

Emboss resist with little charms that I picked up in Mexico

This is an emboss resist background...only, I used gold ebossing instead of clear. 

Emboss resist again..

This is a photograph of  a bunch of "sontaka flowers", which I received for my birthday.
I framed the picture as a gift for a cousin.
It was much appreciated!

GIFT OF CARDS

 I needed to give a gift to a dear friend on her birthday, last week.
As usual, I was lazy and didn't have anything ready till the night before!
I then decided to make her a pack of 6 photocards (I always keep some of my photos printed and ready!). The cards were made and packed within the hour...
A really cool gift idea-don't you think?!
Thanks for stopping by...
Enjoy!

The sentiments are from Hero Arts.

FOR DAYS WHEN YOU HAVE A CREATIVE BLOCK...

I have been suffering from a creative block for days now...anything I touch seems to be getting spoilt!
I had to make some cards today...so here is what I came up with...

I used a photo that I took in Mexico...of a Margarita!
I stamped a sentiment from Stampendous' "Birthday Assortment" and "Birthday Candles" with Tim Holtz distress inks, "Flaming Brick" and "Aged Mahogany", heat embossed the  "Cheers" sentiment in gold, mounted the pictures on  3"x4" cards and I was good to go!

The third card was a picture I took of the Madhumalati plant in my garden...again I added a sntiment, a ribbon and mounted it on an ivory card and I was done!

A great way to make quick cards...especially when you are stuck for ideas!

Thanks for stopping by...Enjoy!

Photo cards in a box...

I made this box set a while ago. I used some of my photos on the cards...I love the result so much, that I won't use it or give it anyone else! Does anyone else feel that way about their creations?

The box set was inspired by a project by Godelieve Tijskens on http://stampingmathilda.blogspot.com/.
