This cute little chickadee is almost camouflaged in her little branch ~ if it wasn’t for her green leaves and red berries! I need a birthday card for a friend who has a Dec. 20 birthday. Do I make it Christmasy? Do I make something completely different? OK, compromise. There…

Happy October from Create with Stamping Friends! We are starting off the month with a color challenge. I have to say, these colors don’t immediately scream “Fall” to me, but we are still having summer weather here in California, so I’m embracing the flowers as long as possible! I chose…
