A Card to Honor George

I would say my love of peacocks started in August of 2017 when one appeared in our backyard. Flash forward to September of 2019, and it's still pretty cool to see George (yes I named him) wandering around. When he first appeared we tried to find his owner or a home. The zoo we called said no thank you. George is a survivor and he's adapted quite well to our neighborhood. 

With all the photos I have of George I recently invested in some paper crafting products about peacocks. This card is made the Regal Peacock die set from Birch Press Designs and the Noble Peacock paper from Stampin Up.  I love the dimension with the layered die.

Everything is Rosy

Stampin Up had a beautiful collection in May 2019 called Everything is Rosy. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I had time to create several cards. I was at a crafting retreat with friends. One of my friends liked it so much she went on Ebay to see if this retired collection was still available!

I still have a lot of paper and elements left and look forward to using this beautiful collection to craft some more cards.

Loaded Envelope

I made two of these loaded envelopes for some card-making friends. It's the first loaded envelope I made, but I think I'll be making more! In the outside bottom two pockets I had a set of water color note cards and "card candy".

The outside top pocket had three tags. I love the puns!

The inside pocket had a pack of gum, a mug cake mix, and a shaker card element featuring sticky boy. Sticky boy is a coveted stamp by Close To My heart consultants. He only appears at corporate events and you need to be lucky to find him!
