I almost forgot to share these little cuties. I designed these for BHG Scrapbooks etc '12 Fall issue some months ago. As you know, they have ceased publication of my favorite magazine -- and these paper-piecings are too adorable not to share.
Here you go. Can you say "Ahoy Matey!" ;)
A card made with the pirate ship:
Don't know about where you're at, but here in Indiana, the weather is too hot! Summer is most definitely here and we've been spending a lot of time at the pool.
I wanted to share this cute blazing sun canvas I created as an article opener for Scrapbooks etc. magazine's August issue.
You can download the pattern to this design by visiting their blog post. Click here.
Don't forget to grab your copy of Scrapbooks etc's latest June '12 issue!
The artwork on the cover is mine. It was a blast creating the cute little tags for this frame. Something different -- so pretty and spring-y. {Lots of Pink Paislee products here.}
Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday celebration with your loved ones. I sure did.
I wanted to share a couple of Valentine's cards with you. Both are featured in the February 2012 issue of BHG Scrapbooks etc. magazine.
I'm proud to add that the card on the cover is one of mine.
Here's a closer look of the owl card:
The owl is made using a variety of punches, which are my favorite tools. I could probably seriously create a whole zoo scenery with my punch collection. Haha!
This next card is also among the projects featured within the issue's pages. It's an easy design to produce in multiples!
There's a whole lot of eye candy in this magazine, so you must check it out.
Till the next post.
I can't believe this year is almost over! Christmas is just weeks away -- insane! My "to do" list is a mile long and I don't even know where to start. Which reminds me, I still have to order my annual Christmas cards. You didn't think that I handmade my cards each year, did you? I know, I know. One day, I'll have time to do that, but not this year. I'm trying to have a stress-free holiday season. :)
'Thought I'd share some card ideas. These were created for BHG Scrapbooks etc's December 2011 issue.
Enjoy all the holiday preparations and keep warm!!
It took me a little while to get these posted, I know. But here is the complete set of travel paper-piecing designs I created for Scrapbooks etc. magazine's August '11 issue, also seen on my "Greece" layout.
Grab the patterns to these below!

What a fantastic trip that was, especially since I spent it with my Mom. Got to tour the beautiful sights of Greece and a bit of Turkey.
(I had the worst luck getting there: got stuck in London for 9 hours because I missed my flight to Athens... then they lost my luggage for 2 days. Thank goodness for having packed some necessities in my carry-on bag!)
Here is a layout made for BHG Scrapbooks, etc. magazine's August 2011 issue. Piece Talk article. I created several paper-pieced designs, which I will share very soon. You can see two on this layout (plane/globe and camera).
Thanks for peeking!
You can find this pull-tab card in the August '11 issue of Scrapbooks etc. mag, along with the instructions on how to create the accordion card base. (Pages 54-55)
