I would like to show you what I did the other day. Of course it's too close to Halloween to enjoy it for very long, but it will be great for next year. My photography skills have much to improve, but hopefully you can get the idea.
I wanted to get a "Vintage with Sparkle" feel.

Just a few photos from Vanessa and Derek's big day. I have to say it was perfect in every way. It could not possibly have been more perfect.

Love how this photo captures the tent, the chandelier and tablescape.

On each table. So beautiful.

The desert table... with a beautiful ribbon wall for backdrop. Gorgeous!

Time to Blog Again

2011-07-26T21:29:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted for a very long time, and the truth is, I don't think anyone ever checks my blog, but just in case I want to have something here.

So, here is some of the stuff I've been working on.

"Welcome Little One"
Invitations and banner for baby boy and baby girl.
I sold both of them at a local store that sells handmade items. I was so excited when my stuff sold. Here's alook at what I made.

THIS IS THE BOQUET SHE LOVES

2011-01-11T10:02:00.001-08:00

she loves this but not the "furry stuff" a round the edges. She loves just the center flowers for her beautiful boquet. Ignor the girl on the left :)

So FUN to make!

2010-04-14T14:03:00.000-07:00

These have a mixture of fabric,rhineshtones and of course paper - even from a grocery bag! Let me know what you think.

Love these flowers!

Here's a close up!

Love This!

2010-03-26T12:06:00.000-07:00

I am so happy with the way this turned out. I happened to have some left over fabric and I wanted a "pioneer-ish" effect for this page. I think it was accomplished.

There are so many possibilities for these flowers. Simply by changing the centers with buttons, rhinestones, fabric, bling (the options are endless). Tell me what you think.

Page Maps Contest

2010-03-11T13:16:00.000-08:00

Haven't blogged for a long time, but now I have to show off a few things I've done lately. This is for a contest with Page Maps. I love this site, so many great ideas. Here's what I created.
I am in love with paper roses. Notice how sweet they are in the middle of each flower. What's a card without flowers?

Shower Invites

2009-08-16T18:56:00.000-07:00

Ivitations! I love making invitations! For Jalisa's shower I wanted to use her wedding colors, so I made this gate card, with black/white ribbon. When it opens the yellow pops! I heard the shower was a lot of fun and great turn out. Sorry I couldn't go, I was in Orange County visiting my babies!

The Wedding

2009-08-16T18:47:00.000-07:00

Andrew and Jalisa are getting married and the day is approaching quickly. Here are the invitations I made for the big day. She did such a great job choosing the color and style. It's going to be a great day!

Just Got Back

2009-07-22T10:51:00.000-07:00

We got back from a family vacation and I'd like to say we JUST got back, but the truth is, we've been back a while but I am only now looking at the photos. Jim and I took some of the kids on a quick cruise. It was only three days but we made it a seven day party starting off in San Francisco, off to So. Cal at the beach and then down to San Diego to hit the ship. It's been kinda fun looking back and remembering all the fun we had. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

You Have to Watch. It's Beautiful

I made this banner to go along with the baby shower invites! I love this. If you are interested, just let me know - I'd be happy to make you one! Oh, it could say "happy birthday" or "congrats" or anything you want! Customized just for you.

This just makes me smile!

Baby Shower invitation

2009-05-11T22:50:00.000-07:00

This is what I have been working on today. I am doing invitations for my sister who is giving a baby shower for a friend. It was so fun to work on. I got to use my slice and the animal cracker cartridge! I also thought the colors were great - not your usual baby powder blue.

SWEET FEET

2009-04-13T19:57:00.000-07:00

I love this! How cute are little feet? This picture was taken by my friend Jenny Mason. You can visit her site at http://www.jennymasonphotography.com/ She does an amazing job. You will see lots of her work on this blog.

These feet belong to the Marqui children - you will see a lot of them too and it's perfect because they are adorable - even their feet!

My First Ever!

Well, here it is - My first Post on my blog. I thought I would take the plunge into the world of blogging. It may not be too exciting for you, but I'm pretty excited about it! I hope to use this as a Show and Tell. I can show you what I'm up to and you can tell me what you think. Check back in and see how this all grows and changes as I figure this out.
