Mother's day.



I wanted to show you this card I had made for Mother's day for my online shop. I had just put it for sale late yesterday afternoon and when I woke up this morning it was sold!!! I'm so thrilled!!


I used flowers I had cut out and material flowers. Along with some buttons, brads and chalk, this card had great texture. You could feel everything popping off the page.


Thanks for looking, and if you have a minute pop into my shop and check it out

Take care and have a great day!

She's Expecting!!!


Just found out a cousin is expecting her first, and I just HAD to run and make her a card. This little mommy to be is too cute, I just love her and am thrilled to be able to use her! I loved this patterned paper too. The inside reads.....a big tummy! I thought it was cute! I'm thinking of putting one similiar in my shop, what do you think?


Good nite!

Busy Times


Well things are getting busy here, lots going on with the kids! Having a party for my daughter's confirmation and just finished making the invites! Now to get them mailed out to everyone, then start working on the decorations, thank you's......etc. But I have to say...I LOVE IT!!!! at least it keeps me crafting!


I'm posting a picture of the invites, and I'm working on a thank you/momento thingy. Once I get those done, I'll post again. I'm very excited about the momentos, a new friend I met on etsy is helping me out, can't wait.


Visit my shop if you have a free minute http://harvestmoonpaper.etsy.com/.


Take care everyone!

More photos of my paper bag album.






I decided to post a few more photos of the paper bag album as I have entered it into a design challenge. We had to use one cut from a cricut cartridge (I used PS for the letters and TBBM for all of the tags inserted in the album), green and blue paper, and ribbon, which I tied all the safety pins with ribbon and placed ribbon on several of the album pages. Wish me luck! Hope everyone had a great easter.

Criss Cross cards



I love making these cards, they are really quite easy too! I chose this one for the fun spring colours I had in the patterned paper. You can write whatever message you want on the insert, it gets pulled out by the large green button. They really are a fun card!


I'm putting this one up for sale in my shop. Don't forget to go over and take a peek, I'm always adding new stuff.




Have a great day!

Happy Easter


A card I made for family for easter. Although it would be easier to make one card style for all my family, that wouldn't be any fun! So I usually make a few different style cards for holidays. More fun that way and I get to play with my crafts more!

Hope your weekend is going grand!

Oh and by the way......YEAH I made my second sale on my online shop!!! If you're looking for any cards, take a peek at my shop.

I'm starting to get into SETS



So I have started listing items in my new online ETSY shop (http://harvestmoonpaper.etsy.com/) and have been leaning towards putting "sets" of cards up instead of individually. I think it's more fun to recieve a few things at once than just one card!! I really love the fleur de lis, and the colours in the patterned paper - what do you think??
Anyhow, come over and stop by Harvest Moon Paper and check out all the cards I've put on the site, especially my very BRIGHT and colourful wedding card..........I'm fed up with seeing white everywhere you know what I mean!!!
Take care and enjoy the weekend!

OMG I did it!!!!

I finally did it!!! I have opened up my own online "shop"!!!

So I have been looking into being able to sell my crafts online, and found this great community called ETSY. I wasn't too sure about them, but when Martha Stewart features them on her show, who am I to disagree with Martha!!!

It's this wonderful place where everything that is for sale is HANDMADE and you can find unbelievable stuff. And guess what, I even accept all major credit cards!!! WOW.

So here is the link to my very own "shop" http://harvestmoonpaper.etsy.com

I've always been in love with the name Harvest Moon and now I finally get to use it. Please come by and visit, oh ya and SHOP too.........LOL!!!

So tell everyone you know, no matter where they are located, there's a new cardshop in town and it's called HARVEST MOON PAPER CREATIONS!!!!

Take care everyone,
