Pearl Sterling Silver and Swarvoski Crystal Earrings on a Greeting Card

We just created this new card in our Chic Boutique Line.  It features Heather (named after me) and says "Ooh La La"  I was so excited with the way it turned out. We are trying a new design and I love the way the chandelier looks in the background.

I have discovered GRACE.

This adorable friend named Grace can be found at http://www.fabricfriends.etsy.com/ . I just love the color and fabric combination on this beautiful creation and can imagine my little niece carrying it under her arm and she cruising around playing. Please stop by this shop and see all the wonderful creations she has to offer.

It feels good to get it OUT! My new Christmas Paintings

Last month or so I brought my paintings into a imaging store and meet the man who runs it. He loved my work. I have never heard it call "my work" before so I thought that was really cool. I wanted my paintings turned into greeting cards and he did an amazing job. He matched the colors perfectly and they turned out wonderful. I have just been in for my third trip and picked up the cards from paintings I did for Christmas. I wanted them to have a holiday theme but I wanted something very colorful and cheery. I love the way the snowman turned out and that he looks so happy. I think I am going to use him for our family holiday card. I also am very pleased with my PINK Christmas tree. I always thought it would be cool to have a pink Christmas tree. I have got them listed on our etsy site http://www.gwynnsgifts.com/ and I hope they do well. I am also thinking of bringing them around to the local stores to see if maybe they want to stock them for the holidays. I just finished a really colorful penguin painting that I will share with you when I pick it back up. I would love to hear what you think about the cards.

I am so HAPPY with these Paintings

I decided to try my hand at painting with watercolors and then using a black pen and this is what happened. I really like it and I feel that I just hit my mark. I love the way they turned out and I love using both ink and paint to create. I started small with the green and blue one and then moved up to 8x11 for the pink and orange one. I can't wait to try more colors and shapes.
