Welcome!

Hi and welcome to my blog. This is my little corner of cyberspace where I would like to share with you some of my creations and ideas. While I am a lifelong sewer (thanks, Mom!) my main love is papercrafts, primarily cardmaking. Before I begin sharing, however, I have three caveats:

1) I am a master CASEr (Copy And Steal Everything). In other words, I feel very inspired by other crafters out there and often borrow aspects of their designs. I generally try to make it my own, with some changes here and there. I never ever ever take credit for those card designs and if I do post a heavily CASEd card on Splitcoast I always reference the original card. In fact, I generally do not post cards that are very similar to already posted cards because I think that it's boring to go thru a gallery and see multiples of the same card. If I really loved the original card I will often let the creator know how much I enjoyed making it and thank her for sharing it. I just loved the card and wanted to make my own. Since I am proud of my works (even if I borrowed some ideas from others), I do plan on posting them here. By the time I post the cards here I may not remember who I CASEd, but I will definately mention it if the card is 100% my idea.

2) I do not have a studio box yet so the quality of my shots is fairly mediocre at this point. Maybe one day.

3) I may randomly insert pictures of my three impossibly adorable daughters. I *did* create them, after all. ;-)

So, welcome, and let's hope that I can be a good steward of my little blog.
