When you are feeling down.. handmade card

We don't have birds as pets but do have flocks that live in our patio and vine roses (finches mostly but I love them all).  Today is Love Your Pet day - and my passion for the four legged loves has us having created a small farm.  Today's card is also for my little girl who's missed mom (between traveling to Leadership Events, fighting her sibs for attention and homeschool mom she hasn't had solo time in a while) and a sweet card like this is to cheer my girl up.
A little sparkle and love goes a long way to helping our heart soar.

~  Add sparkle with our Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

This one-layer card is a quick and easy one but for my animal loving baby girl.. it's a small work of art.
I write with sparkle as well.. loving my glitter pens - the green seemed to coordinate with our Old Olive blends - doesn't it?  The sweet size of this note card (2-1/2" x 4-1/2") and coordinating envelopes brighten my day.
Happy Love Your Pet Day.  I have a slew of pets.. from our koi pond, bearded dragon lizard, Russian Tortoise, Dog, Barn Cats and Goats.. we have our own personal zoo and my little bit of heaven.  Today's card is in honor of my dear pup, Tinkerbell.  She is a German Shepherd, St. Bernard mix and yawns, sounding like a cow - lol.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
