Caching In


So, you're in art, craft, or trade show.  You meet someone and he asks for your business card.  You say 'Wait, let me get one'.  At this point, you're a little bit panicky.  Your precious cards got somehow lost amongst the pile of mounting flyers and items you've accumulated.

The answer to your dilemma, the Card Cache.  I came up with another fun design with two things in mind - simple and convenient. 

No more card-hunting, just caching in.

Fit for a Princess

Princess Birthday Pop-Up Card
Mixed media on heavyweight cardstock, 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

The amazement in her eyes as she opened the pop-up card I made for her was priceless. Her jaw dropped as she exclaimed "Wow!". Her 'thank yous' that doesn't seem to end made my day.

Our little niece is growing up. I met her when she was just five, four years ago before I married my husband. My sister in law adopted her from Korea when she was just nine months old. She has those blushing chubby cheeks in her homecoming picture, and a huge bow on her hair. And the first word she said when her new mom pulled off that bow was "No!"

Yesterday, she turned nine. Soon, she'll be nineteen. For now, we'll enjoy watching our budding gymnast tumbles and flips. And today, she was on the phone, telling her best friend about her princess card.

Fairy tales do come true. I know three that ended happily. Hers and her parents.
