Snowman through a window

 I love it when a card just falls together. I knew I wanted to use this image, and I knew which die I wanted to use for the aperture to begin with. Using the snowflake EF was a last minute decision that worked out perfectly, with the red base caed for contrast. I used a ton of foam tape to hold up the embossed layer, but it's not super thick tape, so hopefully this will mail easily.

Watercolored posies

 This is a very simple card using something I painted when playing with watercolors recently. I used a few snippets on the base card, then added the painting and an embossed sentiment. Can't get any simpler than that.

Basket of Apples

It might be only the middle of July, but the school buses are out practicing their routes here, so I'm taking that as a sign that fall is on its way. And what says fall better than an apple?

I used a digi from Beccy's Place as the central image, colored with pencils and die-cut with a circle die and a bit of out-of-the-box cutting on the lower right side.  The red panel is embossed with a folder from Poppy Crafts. The sentiment is from Purple Onion.  A few small gems were added for a little sparkle.

Dotty snowflakes

 How's that for a non-traditional Christmas card? I used non-holiday prints (polka dots), embossed the panel with snowflakes, and added an acrylic strip to have the die-cut snowflakes "floating",
