In light of the season...

I was trying to make a card that was specially requested by a co-worker.
She was going to a Halloween wedding and wanted a Halloween wedding card. (Everyone has to dress up in costumes to attend this wedding.)

I said..Ummm Ok.
I was totally drawing a blank. This was a very interesting concept. But I wanted to try it.
Here's what I came up with.

The craziest thing about this card was that I had to create that veil on the witch and necktie on Frankie. I made the veil with ribbon, tissue paper and a needle.  Either way, it was a difficult but definitely helpful experience.

I love Blake Lively. She's beautiful...but mainly this picture is because

once in a while it'd be fun to be in a pretty, yet ridiculous, dress like that and just ponder about life.

A Fresh Start

This is my first blog post.

I'm a little nervous, not sure what to say...

Hmm a little bio maybe?

I'm currently a 1st grade teacher. I make and sell cards on etsy (thirtytworoses.etsy.com).

If I had a million dollars I'd go to Hawaii and the rest would go into a bank. I suppose that says much about me.

Oh, and I'd love to buy a whole closet full of new clothes and shoes.

Oohh...

In desperate need of inspiration for my cards...any good ideas?

1. Handmade Vintage Flower Button Embellishments, 2. Place du Parvis Notre Dame at Sunset, Paris, 3. Sugar tarts embellishments, 4. Day 14 , They said it's the national bring your teddy bear to school and work day .., 5. 88 shimmer palette, 6. , 7. Clara 11, 8. Untitled, 9. A Million Drops

By the way, I'm willing to give away 5 cards to anyone who would like a handmade greeting card. Please let me know the occasion, or just pick something you'd like on my etsy site.

Here's a sample...

It can be used for an anniversary, wedding, or to send love...
