i'd like to thank my wonderful friend Deborah Kuhl
http://www.kuhlphoto.ca/
for this beautiful shot of my hands.
i requested this shot because i feel like my cards are like fingerprints. from the photo,
to the vellum, the quote, the envelope, and even the font.
each time i make a card, these elements are different, and unique.

december 5 2012, over this year i have done some redesigning and text correction of certain cards, so, finally, i've posted the new versions and removed the old ones. plus the new designs that i've created from summer until now. my market partner, sara, and i will be at the bcca fundraiser again, tomorrow actually! december 6 + 7. see sara's website for more info http://www.gioiellisara.com .
october 8 2012, so the last market of the season is over. thanks to everyone who came down to check it out and chat, and buy a card or 2 (or 4) :-) finally I've uploaded the newest designs. I was admittedly in a bit of a hurry to take these shots and some are not up clear standards. Sorry about that! if I have the time to correct them, I will do so.
my business partner, Sara http://www.gioiellisara.com , and I are going to be at the Artisan Guild show in vernon next month (November 23 + 24). http://www.okanaganartisansguild.com it's my first time there, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like. I'll be upstairs (where it's warm), so come and see me and all the other great local artists and crafters!

may 4 2012, i couldn't resist making some new designs this year. i will probably still make some of the ones from last year later on. but, i'm really excited to see how these go over! i'm a little sad that some of these shot don't show the quotes very well, but they are clear in real life!

december 1 2011, this is a custom card that was requested for a family with a new baby. i've been given permission to add it to my designs. i'm really happy with how it turned out.
november 11 2011, new designs for fall and winter. the last five designs are blank.
november 10 2011, of course the farmer's market has been over for a while now. so, this is the slower paced, creative time for me. though, i do have my cards displayed in a couple of places. at the http://www.pentictonartgallery.com/ , also at http://www.happilyholistic.ca/. i've made some new designs as well. 18, to be exact (plus one for my sister that i'm quite happy with). i'll be uploading them in the next day or two. also, i've purchased another tool for my photography kit, a lensbaby! i'm very excited to start developing my skills with it and creating some unique cards with the resulting shots. well, that's it for now.
august 1 2011, these are a few cards that I made for some young friends of mine (5 years and younger), with their favourite colours and animals.
july 10 2011, yesterday was another farmers market. I got a new fixture and to fill it, I made another 54 cards.
the next dates that I'll be there are, july 23 + 30, august 6.

cards with quotes. the quote follows the photo, e.g. pages 1 and 2 are the same card.
blank cards discontinued
may 4 2011, I've been busy getting all my supplies, and I've completed 24 handmade envelopes. Soon there will be cards to go with them.
- *the card stock, vellum, and envelopes may vary slightly from what's shown on this site due to stock availability and the mood I happen to be in when designing a card. *
- *as mentioned, the inserts are made from vellum. this paper is very hard and was designed to be used with pencil. basic ballpoint pen works fine, but felt tip pens don't work at all. so, please make sure that you use either ballpoint, or pencil, if you like. *
