Merry Christmas!!!

Maligayang Pasko

Oh my, OCD much... I can't stop making different version of the Christmas Lantern 'Parol'. These are 6 x 7 mini ornaments

I got hooked on making more mini Christmas Lanterns 'Parol' Ornaments.

What do you think?

Which mini Christmas Lantern/Parol is better, the rossette or the star?

Maligayang Pasko!!!

I made a different version of the parol, however I can't decide whether to keep it as is like a tag or add to a 4.25 x 5 card. What do you think?

Christmas is here...

Christmas time is near... Time to start sending out Christmas cards. Here's one Christmas card I worked on recently to add to my etsy store.

Etsy Shop

To my friends and family who has been nagging me for years to start selling what I make, here I am. I am starting to make more to add to my etsy shop. I can do custom orders.
I love making cards and gift for friends and last 2000 I decided to make my own wedding invitation, and favors. I have been making little things for friends and cousins.

My recent big custom order was for my college reunion. I made the invitations, program, reunion giveaways. I hope you like what you see and buy my cards. Thank you!
