We'll sing in the sunshine... we'll laugh everyday




My two daughters, frolicking in their new dresses on Christmas Day, last year. They started out as white card stock with lots of stamping, and then I added the blue clouds which I stitched around. I then machine-embroidered the greenery and topped it all off with felt flowers. The girls are raised quite hight on foam mounting tape and have shadows in the light! I got the title from an old Dusty Springfield song.

This Girl is Unique


This is a picture of my daughter Cara. Lots of pink and black to match her hair/clothing (her favourite colours, naturally). "Unique" is wriiten with pink jewels. The flowers are a combination of papper, fabric and felt. The black, flower border down the bottom was a lovely black, plastic ribbon (OK it was prettier than I made it sound).

There is always time to DREAM



This is a picture of my daughter Erin. The wings were cut from a hand-made fabric butterfly and a touch of crsytal glitter. It's hard to see in this photo but a lot of the butterflies are 3D (cut from a matching sheet of paper and added to the page to add dimension). Plus lots of ribbon, bling and stitching!
