This card works like a sudoku puzzle. It comes along with several letters and embellishment. Because of using Tack’n’Peel, everything adheres non-permanent on the surface, so you can spend a lot of funny time combining it and trying to find out how many words, phrases and designs are possible to create. Hubby had a lot of fun with the possibilities.
Friendship is a precious gift. I’ve got a couple of really good friends and am very thankful for finding them. Therefore it was on my heard to make a friendship celebrating project. The picture shows me with some of my girls from our private weekly MoMa-Crafting-Club.

Cathy Andronicou shows you how to keep your travel memories on you at all times with this Parisian Key Fob.
We don’t have a name for “Tacky Tourists” in Germany. But it’s a really good and funny description for these kind of travelers and I think, we should have a German word for them. For this card I created a new road sign. A couple of years ago, my BFF Dagmar and I visited the Gizeh Pyramides at Kairo, Agypt.
Isn't it funny all of the little bits and pieces you collect on a road trip...everything from bottle caps, sea shells collected on the beach, sand saved in tiny bottles to the tacky tourist offerings like plastic hula dolls, pink rubber flamingos and the ever popular key chains. Well this kitschy shadow box is just the ticket to save all those funky bits in one place.
Show your thanks with this shimmering bold sentiment from Artist in Residence Carisa Zglobicki.

Favors are one of those things that are made even more exciting by the wrapping! This idea is designed for wedding favors and other occasions.
Vintage weddings are kind of romantic and elegant with a touch of past times. It can be defined very individually but the romantic touch is always presented. This really romantic sparkling flower clip can be used in several ways: the bride’s hair, the groom’s buttonhole or, in a bigger dimension, as wedding bouquet, or for any decoration.
My sweetheart and I were married way back in 1986, right out of high school. At that time I knew nothing of the fun stuff the paper arts world had in store for me. See how I made this puzzle piece card to celebrate our union.
StazOn Studio Glaze is a perfect way to add bright vibrant colors when spread on your project but it can also provide amazing depth and texture which is why I used it both ways on my wedding make-over place cards. Since my colors are blue and gold I decided to use blue for our female guests and gold for the male guests.
When my husband and I originally got married they didn't even have "Save the Date" announcements so I thought it would be fun to create one. I wanted to include the puzzle theme - "two become one" as well as the polka dots and this is what I came up with.

There is a wide range of symbolism associated with poppies...everything from loyalty, beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and even eternal life.

Last year I made a card I really loved for my husband, and I thought since Valentine’s Day was fast approaching I’d re-create it this year! I used a gray and yellow color scheme for the original version as it wasn’t an actual valentine.
Valentines Day - the day for Lovers all over the world. What better way to express the 'matters of the heart' than a handmade card using the most divine ink Delicata Bronze Burst - as the name suggests - it is spectacular!
