welcome

Welcome!


In this blog you will find recipes and my recent crafts/projects. I love to bake and enjoy cooking for others. I make cards for my friends and family. The fanciest machine I use for card making is my handy dandy paper cutter. I use scissors for most cutting and am hoping I'm still years away from arthritis. It may take hours to make a card depending on its complexity and how much detail it has. I like to sketch and wish I was a better painter...or rather, I wish I painted more in general.


Here are some pictures of cards I've made in the past.


This is a card I made for a wedding. The flowers are cut from felt and the stems are made of glued pieces of tissue paper.
My first batch of holiday cards made in bulk. I used felt for the snowmen and most of their accessories. I also glued googly eyes on them.
 Here's a closer look at each card:

I used very chunky yarn for the scarf and regular matching yarn for the earmuffs.
Imagine cutting all the small pieces for each card! I believe the bird was the hardest to make.
These holiday cards were far easier to make! Card stock and gem stickers.

All of the above are birthday cards.

Anniversary card for a fish lover.


Card for a friend's wedding. I matched the card to the gift.


 
Another wedding card. Hard to see but the silver plate in front of the card has "M & K" engraved on it.


I hope you liked what you see. Stay tuned for my newer stuff :]
