Yay for a break from single layer cards!  I know it is waaay too long since I shared a 3D project with you, but I hope you'll agree that this little cutie, inspired by the wonderful Sacha van der Kerkhof, is well worth the wait?  Click here to watch Sacha's video tutorial.

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Today's QACAS card was created for my nephew Daniel.  Similarly to his own nephew Landon's birthday card, I took inspiration for Daniel's card from the album I created for his 18th birthday.  The photographic sky image in the Serene Scenery DSP stack echoing the shaving foam background I created then...

For Another Deer One

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

You might have realized I have a bit of an obsession with Z fold cards?  They are so easy to create and look stunning, so I challenge anyone to not enjoy creating them!

Today's card was created in honor of a dear friend, Jim's birthday earlier this month...

Jim and his wife, Jill, are also good friends of Darnell.  Knowing they would have loved to have met with her when I did in July, I couldn't leave them out of the fun.  As soon as plans were made, I knew I would wear the same scarf that I gave Jill for her birthday last year, having bought us identical ones at the time.  Then, as I prepared everyone's gifts, I created one for them too; Port Sunlight guidebook, card and DVD.  All were sent with Jim's birthday card and I'm honored to have been able to include them in what was a wonderful day.
