For My Sister

Today's cards feature lovely photos taken by my sister.  She lives on an island, and I've framed the photos with the shape of the island.  The fronts are embossed and popped.  I added a variety of sentiments in the package that she can pop on for various occasions - or go plain, as well.  

Let's Sail with the New Ferry Captain

These days one of Neebish's Ferry Captains has more on his mind than transporting Islanders - he's about to be a new dad! Woo Hoo! Here's a onesie for the new baby my sister asked me to make.

My machine sure didn't like the Ferry Captain - so small and detailed.  I didn't need all that red foil I wasted any ways, right?  LOL!

Neebish Subway Art

Today's project features my first vinyl project (drum roll here).  I was inspired by the current challenge at Sizzix eClips and eCal Users Group - using Subway Art.  I made this for my sister who lives on a small island in Michigan.

Love a Little Neebish Patriotism

Today I am sharing a card for my sister who lives on an Neebish Island and bleeds red, white, and blue.

Last of Neebish

Today I'm sharing the last card I need to make for the women of Neebish Island, Michigan, for a while - using up scraps.

Neebish Island Card

It isn't summer without a trip to Neebish Island! Today I'm featuring a card for the strong women on Neebish Island, Michigan.

My design was especially inspired by Sketch Saturday #415...I immediately saw the oval as the Island - and replaced the flourish with an anchor.

Color Burst makes for a fun background with a watercolor wash. I used the Sprinkle-Spritz technique for the Island. The anchor is embossed craft paper by Tim Holtz - with a Color Burst wash for a striped effect. I white embossed a strip with a wavy design - then colored with watercolors...with the embossed section resisting the watercolor.

The Neebish sentiment makes the island the star of the show. Everything was cut using my Sizzix eClips.

Quick, Simple Neebish Card

I promised cards for my Neebish Island family and friends - and could not find my mojo!  Finally, three nautical-themed sheets of cardstock appeared in my scrap stash - and Apex Designs gave this great free anchor yesterday - back to having fun!  Should be able to knock a lot of cards out today.  :D

How to Get New Ideas

I'm often stuck in a creative paper rut - so I turn to challenges and sketches to get more creative with my work.  Today's inspiration comes from Scrapping Everyday Miracles February Sketch Challenge. The card itself is one of many I am making for residents on Neebish Island, Michigan.

Nautical Note Cards

This is a set of four nautical cards made for the annual bazaar held by the Neebish Island Ladies Group on August 13.

Home Sweet Home - Neebish Island

Attention Islanders!  Today I am featuring the first set of cards made for a fundraiser (August 13) on Neebish Island, Michigan - and I'll be back this week with encore greeting cards for Neebish Island.  Islanders can now share home sweet home with all their mainland family and friends.
