Spellbinders love

I really am in love with this new Spellbinders die I purchased.  I love all the leaf elements, the wreath, etc.

I created this lovely card for a co-worker who is on leave right now for a few weeks, just to give some encouragement and let her know we are all thinking of her.

Here's a peak of the some of the elements.  I started the card by embossing with a Sizix folder.  Die cut the wreath and elements using some cardstock, etc.  Embossed "Just a Note" with some gold embossing powder and finally added some gold-toned gems to add a little sparkle.

Beautify die isn't it.

A beachy life

I just adore my grandchildren and love every opportunity to show them off.  Recently my daughter had the opportunity to have a professional photo shoot at the beach.  

This photo just makes me happy!  Love their smiles, etc.

I started a mixed media canvas with a "beachy" theme to capture the venue.  

I've used scrapbook paper, white gesso, patina paste (Finnibair), Tattered Angels Spray, Gelatos and chipboard words.

I love how it turned out.

Mixed Media and some cards

I am obsessed lately with mixed media, really having some fun creating some unique pieces.  I tried my first mixed media recently and, while I'm not finished with it yet, I really like it.  Also, my passion is still cardmaking, etc. and creating one of kind mini albums and boxes.
