Love Dimension.


Close up Anya.









My lil sister and I share the same love for The Wizard of Oz. We are complete opposites in every other way. (she's a blond by the way) I took her to see it when she was 5 on my college campus, and she cried.

The Inside of the card says:

Little Sister,

Don't be afraid to BE Dorothy!
Don't be afraid to ...

- travel an unknown road.
- see the world in color.
- sport a gorgeous pair of shoes, even when you are dressed like a farm hand. (There is greater value in a fab pair of shoes than just High Fashion)
- search for a great man that turns out to be all smoke and mirrors. (He may teach you everything you already knew)
- find courage.
- discover your heart.
- gain knowledge.
- make great friends to share your journey.
- melt your fears.

And if along the way you happen to forget... then close your eyes and remember... "There is no place like home!"

Digi Downloads


I am just loving the Digital Downloads available at The Greeting Farm... link on the right. Can not beat the price, or the instant arrival of inky goodness.
I printed with my cheapy printer, on GP and the copics worked great!
This is Pretty Head Lily.
I wish you could see all of the spica glitteratti.

My sweet Baby Girl & her Loving Big Brother


My son is an amazing, amazing, amazing Big Brother. He really loves her, it is not just that he likes her for a minute and gets bored. He truly loves her, he is so concerned about her crying. He 'babysits' her while she is in her chair. She loves him too. He holds her everyday, and she smiles and coos at him, and she stares at him while he babysits. He is really good. I hope they have this kind of relationship forever. I kind of think they might. He has officially changed his name to "BIG brother" (also his name on Wii), and he refers to her as "OUR baby". And he means mine and his, not his Dad... hahah. He tells on Daddy when it comes to the baby. "Daddy is doing this or that to OUR baby", and he is so stressed about it. Our poor sweet girl, she will likely never have a boyfriend, between her big brother and crazy Dad.

Anya Book



My Bind it all Anya Book. I used the long Rectangle Nestie for the Cover, and magnetic closures.

The Inside Pages of my Book. Each says, "I hereby Certify that....". I may still decorate the Anya/Ian's, or just include markers with the gift. Not sure yet. Each page is perforated.

Here are the rest of the inside pages, there are 12 total.



The Wishing Tree


Side View.

Inside of the Card.

I just love the 'Wishing Tree' set from the Greeting Farm. I used the Labels One Nestie, Copics to Color, Spicas (hard to see), and SU paper and Ink.

Easy Butterfly Note Cards




I made these little pretties for my Grandma who loves Butterflies! They are embossed with Nesties on SU paper, and the Martha Butterfly punch layered. They are much prettier IRL.
