Peggysue had a birthday!

My dear friend, Peggysue, is celebrating a birthday tomorrow, May 5. She introduced me to this little duck from Hambo stamps on a birthday card she sent me back in March. I had to have it so I saved up some money and purchased a few items from Hambo stamps including this duck. I made this card completely out of scraps. I wanted to clean up my extras a bit so I have been challenging myself to work with leftovers. I absolutely love this card! Peggysue, happy birthday and I hope you like it! P.s., PS, I copied your idea of using the stickles and glossy accents on the duck and cattails.

American Basket

this is an American Basket I designed for my brother. I dyed the red and blue reeds and had to paint the white ones. To add a final touch I embellished the handle.

Desk Organizer Basket

This is a desk organizer basket. It sits on my desk in my office and house all of my pens and pencils. It is a cute little basket.

Nantucket Basket

This is a nantucket basket. I have two nantucket molds. This shallow mold which I believe is a 6 or 8 inch mold and a deeper one which is a bit larger. The baskets do not nest.

this is a fishing creel basket I made for a friend of my husband's. The top and the latch is pre-made. I think I used a homemade walnut stain for this basket.

This is a picnic basket with a pre-made bottom, handle and lid. The finished basket is then stained with fruitwood Danish Oil.

a few more cards. The card with the butterfly is actually on a glittery paper. It doesn't show up very well here.
