I have been crafting and creating for most of my life, thanks mostly to the inspiration and encouragement of my loving family. Mom did many crafty things while we were growing up and so I guess I just naturally gravitated to it.
As an Art Major in college, I was exposed to many types of art that I had not really concentrated on before, and like most, I tend to get bored
doing just one thing, so you may see random posts of projects and creations other than scrapbooking and paper crafting which will be the focus of this blog.
I have been scrapbooking for many years before realizing what I was doing. Obviously, now with all of the materials around, I have gone a bit crazy. Since I do not have children, my pictures are more scenic and nature in context, and overall I just hope you enjoy what you see and if I can inspire you in any way, what a bonus.
Oh, and as for the title of my blog... Emblemishments is what my dearly beloved husband calls embellishments!!! He is a great supporter of my creative endeavors and often has a hand in my final products.
So Enjoy fellow crafters, leave comments when you feel so inclined and share ideas!!!
My Mother-In-Law is one of my biggest fans, she lives in Trinidad, WI and loves getting cards from the US. She has a display of all the cards I have sent her in the living room!
She drinks tea often and one of the things I told her before we met, was that when I got to Trinidad, we would share a cup of tea. So that was the inspiration behind this card.
This is a card I created for a Scrapbooks Express "Ad" Challenge.
Happy crafting!
