Rachael's Handmade Designs

Yes, it's been a while since I have been able to update my blog or send out a newsletter. So sorry! I have missed you all, but what with the holidays and life, things have just been super busy. Loads has been going on (I started a new job and I have a new boyfriend) so, much to the detriment of my paper creations, I have been out of the studio for quite some time.   I gotta say (er, write) that I've been meaning to stay ahead of the game on my creations, but it just hasn't been happening. A real bummer because Valentine's Day is usually rather a big seller for handmade cards. I just haven't had the time!!! I'm working on a life balance, but by the time I get home from my new job (I'm working downtown now and taking the bus so its early evening by the time I'm home) and have supper, its time to read for a half hour and then go to bed.

Welcome Back! :) New in the shop, freshly added, is this Valentines card featuring the famous Betty Grable pinup image in stamped form. The image is from Stamper's Best and stamped on white, then covered with "Vintage Matte" Mod Podge to give it an aged look. Inside reads Happy Valentine's Day. Perfect for someone who loves vintage pinup!

Okay, so I fibbed. :-P This item isn't for my *shop* per say, but it's for my love, instead. :) Yeah, I'm okay with that! Ha ha. Anyways, today's blog entry is taking a different form! Here's what I've been working on! Enjoy! And here's some finished photos of this adorable Valentine. I finished it off with some small embelishments, glitter (of course) and feminine pink ribbon.
