Showcasing Cards by Kayte W.

I would like to share these wonderful cards created by Kayte W.  She tells me she has been designing cards for only a year.  All I have to say is that she must be a very fast learner.  See for yourself.....

.

The outside has so many interesting layers.  Her technics are beautiful.  And the inside of the card leaves room for a short message.

Check out Kayte's coloring skills.  How cute is this card?

This card is striking with it's dramatic colors and many layers.  Again, the inside of the card carries out the theme but leaves plenty of room for writing.

And the last one...

A big thank you to Kayte for sharing her amazing talent with the charities I send cards to.  I know these cards bring so much joy to those who receive them.

TIP OF THE DAY:  Yes, I do encourage card makers to leave the inside of the cards totally blank. This is by request of the charities.  But, there is always an exception to the rule, and Kayte has given perfect examples of this.  If you do decorate the inside, please leave as much room as possible for the sender to write a message. 

Thank you for stopping by today.

Hugs,  Jill

Let's Get Organized

Hello, I'm back.  Had a small accident and am currently wearing a splint on my left pinkie which makes typing and card making a bit awkward.  So, I decided to tackle a project I've been putting off for a while.  My niece turned me on to this idea - thanks big time, Kelly!  I do not own a lot of dies, but in my case "out of sight" is definitely "out of mind".  I originally stored them in empty CD cases with labels telling me what was inside.

Good idea, but not the best.  So, based on Kelly's suggestion, I took an old bulletin board which she painted for me, added magnetic strips and ta-da....

Now I can see all of my dies at once.  I sorted them a bit better after this pic was taken and now they are in "like" groups.  I bought the magnetic vent covers at my local hardware store, cut them lengthwise and used tacks to adhere it to the bulletin board.  Now, all I have to do is hang it on the wall!

TIP OF THE DAY:  Watch where you are walking.  Tripping over your own two feet can indeed cause bodily harm.  

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Hugs, Jill
