This is my daughter's birthday card this year. She turned 28 years old. I chose this image because she and I love to read books. I am a library teacher and she is an 8th grade teacher. This is a Saturated Canary digital image. It is colored with Copic markers and I have used Spellbinders' dies.

This is a card I made for my aunt's 70th birthday last year. The card spells out "AUNT". I decorated it with stamped images colored with Copics, borders, ribbon, flowers, etc. from my stash.

Easter Tilda

This is a small card I made using a Mini Magnolia stamp. I have embossed Core'dnations cardstock and sanded so the yellow shows through. The magnolia flower and Tilda are colored with Copic Markers. The grass is made using an old Sizzix die. The butterfly is cut out from patterned paper. The pink flowers are made using a punch, then I added Stickles. The card measures 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches.

Noble Tilda


These are 2 cards I made last year. I used Copic Markers to color Noble Tilda. The pieces on both cards are distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink. I punched the shapes with Spellbinders, Martha Stewart, and Sizzix dies. The pink roses were airbrushed with Copics.

Angel Tilda

I made this card about 4 months ago. I am very happy with the result.  I have used several layers and various techniques. I consider the style to be Shabby Chic.

The stamp is Magnolia Angel Tilda. I have used Spellbinder and Cottage Cutz dies, along with EK Success and Martha Stewart punches.

The ribbon, flowers, and paper are from my stash. The cardstock is DCWV. Tilda is colored with Copics and I have added glitter to her halo and wings. Waterfall Stickles surround the text frame.

Birthday Card

This is my daughter's birthday card I made this year. I have had the image colored for some time, and decided to use it to make her card. I often sit and color images while my husband watches TV in the evening. The Sarah Kay image has been colored with Copic Markers. I have used Spellbinders Elegant Oval dies. I added dragonflies to 2 corners using Magnolia Dragonfly dies. The other 2 corners have mini roses with Martha Stewart punches. I have distressed the card with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink.

It was wonderful--I was able to celebrate Kelly's 27th birthday with her and my son, Kevin. They both live in Galt, CA and I live in Boise, ID. We went white water rafting on the South Fork of the Payette River. Wow--what an adventure!!! We went on the level 4 raft trip through Cascade Raft and Kayak. The raft flipped on its side and 5 of us fell out. Kelly and the 2 guides were the only ones to stay in. It was pretty scary for a while because it happened so fast and unexpectedly, but all went well after that.
