THE NEW SCREENED PORCH AND DECK.........




Since the OLD porch was now the sunroom we built a completely new screened porch...it still needs some work...mostly small stuff...from the porch we added the deck...


....AND THE NEW SUNROOM




Thought I would share our new additions to the house...What you see now what USED to be the screened porch...we enclosed it to make the sunroom...have just a few minor things left to do...can't wait for fall so that we can enjoy the turning leaves!

Summer Flowers - Pergamano Swap


This card was done for a swap with the pergamano group I belong to. The theme was "Summer Flowers". Our group leader has dubbed our "monthly" swap name as "PMS" or Pergamano Monthly Swap. How funny is that. Some of the tools used could probably be dangerous!!

Welcome Wagon



I make welcome cards to send to new members of a group I belong to. This one is my latest. Used decorative papers and stamped the woman on coordinating cardstock. Added the embellishment and stamped "Vintage" on white mulberry paper.

Card Swap




On one of my groups we are doing a 4 for 4 swap. These are the one that I sent. I used brown cardstock then used Origami paper that's very wavy giving an illusion dependng on which way you hold it. Stamped the panda on cardstock. The green "bambo" sticks were cut from a paint chip sample. Purple panda is washi paper background. Stamped the panda on cardstock and cut it out. Lady in purple was stamped on white mulberry in purple then layered. Red lady was mounted on Origami paper and added red flowers to her hat.

Wedding Card



I made this for a friend's wedding. The strip down the card was actually from another card that I cut up because I liked the design. Can't tell in the picture but it's shiny silver and a soft green.

ATCs

My submissions for the July swap entitled "Flowers". I used decortive papers then added embellishments.
