New Quilling Monogram

I had so much fun putting this together! I only wish I could have cut the flowers and inlaid the ones at the top. I think I know what everyone is getting for their birthdays this year.

Quilled Monograms


Thanks to my good friend Sandy and the wonderful world of Pinterest I've found a great new application for my quilling. Now that I've finished the first one I've got some awesome new ideas for the next few. It was a surprisingly easy project. I had a lot of fun working on it. And I think I got it done in about 2 hours.

You're Welcome

I have so much fun making cards! But not so much fun sending them. Solution: gifts.

What could a new couple need? Thank you cards for all those presents. Use a theme based on the theme and colors from their big day. It may not be on the registry, but it's sure to be appreciated.

Their colors were yellow and gray, but as you can see I'm in love with the Papaya and Buttercup Paper, Ink, and Embellishments from a•muse|studio spring and summer color palettes.

Boxes from Clearbags.com are a perfect way to package sets of cards for gifts or sale.
