Polka Dot and Flower Card

I have been working on creating a pack of cards that a family member ordered from me as a gift for her friends. I used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch as inspiration for one of the cards. It is fun to have a pattern to go buy when I create cards. I can get right to work, but I can still add my own ideas and style. Let me know what you think of this one!

I used papers from the You and Me kit on a Kraft colored card. I used a sponge and chocolate ink to add depth to the edges of the layers. I used wide striped ribbon as my vertical element. When I layered the circles on top of the scallop it started to look like a flower.

Halloween Magnets!

I wanted to add a little more variety to the hand stamped items I offer at my craft show booths. I have had a box of vintage glass nuggets for years. It spent a few years packed in my parent's basement, then moved with me a few times. Now it resides in my house and is shuffled around as we work on finishing our basement. I've been on a personal mission to make the most of things I already have. So, when I gave myself the challenge of a new item to feature at my craft show booth... AND then I tripped on the box of glass nuggets, I knew it was a sign to finally create something with them!

What do you think of these festive Halloween Magnets!?
