Need a Great Gift?

Exploding onto the Scene

Learning new "tricks" is sometimes time consuming but totally worth it! Coming Soon! Explosion Boxes! These super cute paper boxes are multi layered and super versatile, but my favorite thing to do is add pictures of special moments and fill the pockets with sentiments about my memories. The tie it up with a ribbon and Tadaa! Perfect little gift!
There will be an example picture posted later this weekend, hopefully, my schedule seems to fill up without my knowledge sometimes :-) I think all of us girls can relate. If time came in a bottle I would buy it in cases from Costco!

Leelou Rocks!

I am so excited about my new background and adorable blog title!! Leelou blogs did an amazing job...now comes the hard part....getting the word out.

The beauty of a handmade gift is the thought that goes into the purchase. I am always excited to receive a gift that is one of a kind and with Card Art, each item is unique and can be altered with a name, initial, favorite quote or pictures of children, family or even pets!

Slowly and lovingly, Card Art is beginning to fill up with cards for all occasions, recipe books, birthday books and gifts for graduation. Check back to see the new items each week and send me and email if you would like something made for someone special.

In a few weeks you can sign up to take a series of classes for beginner scrapbookers. If you think scrapbooking is not for you, take a class and see. You won't believe the feeling of accomplishment you get when you preserve your memories in a book that will be passed down for many many years. It's fun and not as hard as you think!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!



WOW! Graduation is right around the corner. Taylor is going into the 7th grade next year and she is SUPER excited. I am not. They grow up too fast.
I am working on Graduation Cards and I thought it would be neat to show your Charger Pride if your thank yous were purple and gold. I broke down and made some in Munford and Brighton colors as well! LOL.
I graduated 15 years ago, but I am still a Charger! Card sets start at $15.00 and names and initials can be added. Just let me know. You can shoot me an email at pkoneski@comcast.net.

Cute new stuff at Jezabel's. The giant clothespins are great (and small) for displaying pictures on your desk at work. Great Birthday Books, Recipe Books and Cards for most occasions. Taking orders for Custom Graduation Thank You Cards and Baby Shower and Party Invitations. I should have some examples available pretty soon.


Oh and I guess I need to explain what to do with a Birthday Book ! I forget to send out cards so I write down the birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions on the page of the appropriate month and slide the cards into the pockets. Each month I open my book up to that corresponding page and mail out my cards! Easy as Pie. An alternative use for the book, if you are guilty of keeping every single card you ever received, is storage. LOL! Great for babies. I kept all of Taylor's Cards and now I have them in a little pink baby Birthday Book. I will pass it along to her when she is older.


Also, there will be a sign up sheet for people interested in learning how to scrapbook. Classes will be $15.00 to $20.00 and you will receive a 2 page kit and access to the tools you need to put it together :-)
