My first "Pick of the Month!"

One of the responsibilities of Croppinsville's design team members is to choose favorite products each month and make a project for our wall display.

I chose to make cupcake cards for my first "Pick of the Month" project. I used Bo Bunny papers, Die Cuts With A View Glitter papers and Prima Flowers.

Special thanks to my friend Angel for taking this photo for me!

Hurrah! I'm all caught up!

Believe it or not, my 2008 Christmas cards (now Happy Winter cards) are FINALLY finished and ready to mail! I hope you will find that they look better in person... I've also finished my Valentines! (This was also my week #6 swap card)

...and my February "Artist's Choice" Inchies (actually my January Inchies as I got the two months switched.)

I am also caught up with all my ATC personal trades! I've made a bunch of quick ones this past week! Here are a few of my favorites.

Note: The "Owl Have a Blue Christmas Without You" was the original idea for my Christmas cards. However, after January came around and I didn't have them finished, I had to scrap that idea and start over. The good news is that I have my 2009 cards already started!

Week #5

The theme for last week's card was to use gemstones (bling) and/or brads. This was the first time that I had tried the Ranger Dimensional Pearls and Liquid Pearls. I love the effect and now will have to buy more colors!

I want you to see the awesome cards that my swap partner has sent me. Angel has posted the pictures of all her swap cards on her blog. Here is the link so that you can go see her FABULOUS artwork: http://amongthestarsandwithinyourself.blogspot.com/

Week #4 Card

Last week's card swap theme was Buttons and/or Bows. I found this card idea in a recent Papercrafts magazine and just had to make it!
