Punches!

Punches are a great tool to add zazz to your cards!  I like to save the punched pieces and use them as embellishments on the cards I make.  These dragonflies will add a nice touch to my next card.

The completed Love Birds Project

Well, I scrapped the work in progress because I was not happy with my results.  I started over, and here is what I came up with.  



Work in Progress

I am not entirely sure where I am going with this.  It's a little work in progress today.  


A Winter Wonderland Created from Paper

Happy Holidays, all!  

Living in 85 degree Maui weather with high humidity can make me feel as if I am smack in the middle of summer; however, as I type this blog post, it is December 4th 2012.  Not only is it my friend Rob's birthday (Happy Birthday, buddy!), but it is the beginning of the holiday season.  


In California, my holiday season was hailed by crisp winter air and the scent of the year's first chimney smoke (ahhhhh, the holidays), but alas, that is no longer.  While I am starting the holiday season with the odor of sugar cane burning in the air, the humidity and heat certainly throw my once California girl body out-of-whack.  Not that I am complaining. A Mele Kalikimaka on the beach on Christmas morning with my beloved boyfriend is the perfect way to spend Christmas, and I love our island oasis.  

Still, I sometimes yearn for the crisp winter air.  Thus, I papercraft! 









Within my piles of paper, embellishments, bakers twine, stamps, and ribbon, I see possibilities and the opportunity to step into my own creativity and find my snowy winter wonderland!  (Later, I head for the beach!!!!)  

Happy Holidays, my friends!
