My Paper Pastime

Welcome one and all!  This is my first time doing a blog so I ask that you bear with me while I figure this all out.  I am a crafter and have recently opened up an Etsy store (check out my links).  I love all kinds of crafts, but have been really into scrapbooking and card making lately.  I am "interviewing" to be on a design team for an online scrapbook store and one of the requirements is to have a personal blog.  So here goes!! 

I will start by posting a few samples of the cards I have made.  My style leans toward more simple designs and not a lot of embelishments.  This design was inspired by the paper but most importantly was made for a good friend who is going to Paris in the spring.

This is another set of cards that I made from a paper pad that I got from a friend a couple years ago, but finally had time to do something with.  The colors are so rich and the butterflies are one of my favorite things.  I also found a Cricut cartridge named Ornamental Iron that I used for the scroll work.  Such a beautiful detail to be able to add to any card.
