Hi, all! And by all I mean all three people that subscribe to updates to this blog! LOL! ;-)
Here are a couple of new cards that I made to send out for a RAOK exchange.

SEI paper, assorted stamps ( the shoe is a $1 stamp from Michael's ) and the cards/silver envelopes are from Paper Source. Thanks for looking!

Mojo

2008-06-30T20:53:00.000-07:00

Not sure if my card making mojo has returned completely, but I did make a couple of cards this past week. My sister was visiting and inspired me to at least attempt to get back into the game!

Pics are complements of my sister, too! I like the cards a lot so hopefully this will help get me back into card making.

You'll be the first to know! ;-)

New stuff!

Here are several pictures of a set of notecards and a decorated lunch box that I made for a friend's goddaughter. Her 8th or 9th birthday is this weekend. Lots of pink and flowers for her!

Sorry for the poor picture quality. I took them quickly to post for my sister! And, I had to deliver them to my friend so I didn't have time to reshoot the pics! Anyway, hope you enjoy!

I made this card this morning before work for one of my co-workers. I thought it was kinda cute, so I decided to post. Used American Crafts patterned paper, QuicKutz Zoe alphabet and May Arts ( I think! ) polka dot ribbon. This post is for my sister! Love you, Sissy!

Tiny project for tiny person!

Altered this tiny photo album for my best friend's daughter. Every mom needs a cute, portable album for all those pictures everyone wants to see of the little one. Sorry for the picture quality!

What's my motivation??!

Ok ... I have been a bad crafter! I really haven't made a lot of cards, and have only been filling orders for personalized note cards and maybe making the occasional holiday card. See pics below from holiday craft fair. I probably made twenty holiday cards!

That's not good. Anyway, it's a new year ... so I guess one of my resolutions should be to, uh, i don't know ... make more cards!

I have made a few sets of monogram cards so far this year as well.

I apologize for the picture quality. I think it may be time for a new camera!

Just wanted to post some pictures that I finally got around to downloading, so I wanted to share. Hoping that this will give me some motivation to refocus on my paper crafting! I haven't even made any Valentine's day cards! I should be feeling the love this week.

Clarendon Day 2006

2006-10-23T08:27:00.000-07:00

"Clarendon Day is a festival of food, art, music and fun, celebrating the unique offerings of Arlington's original downtown, Clarendon."

This was my second year at Clarendon Day in the booth of ispirato, a store in Clarendon that sells my cards along with a lot of really cool and unique art and gifts.

Check out the pictures below of my little corner of the booth! It was a long day, but lots of fun and lots of great people!

Maybe it's the humidity ...

It's been a slow summer here at sweetpaper. I just haven't spent as much time paper crafting as I would like. I made a few thank you cards over the past couple of weeks which I have posted below. I have an order for several birthday cards and baby cards, as well as several items that I want to make as gifts for friends. I am planning to make decorated clipboards, composition books and gift tins. Hopefully, I will get back on track after Labor Day. Until then ... thanks for your patience!

thank you! merci! you're the best.

More cards ...

I have been making a lot of tall cards lately. I really like the different shape.

This week I plan to make a few Father's Day cards.
Father's Day is June 18th!

Just a few pics of some spring cards that I made as part of a gift set for a friend's birthday. Love the scooter!

A few months ago, I lost a lot of pictures that I had stored on my laptop. I am slowly building my card portfolio back up and will post pictures as I find or take decent shots of the cards. Please feel free to post comments or to inquire about ordering cards. Thanks!
