I recently had the pleasure of flying back to Maryland to visit a group of wonderful friends for a week of laughter, crafting, eating, shopping, talking, more laughter, more crafting, more eating (you get the picture!) These are beautiful friendships that I’ve developed through Stampin’ Up! and I cherish their…
Welcome to the Pals’ August Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “Special Occasions” – cards or projects that adds beauty to the special occasions we all love to make cards for! You may be starting the hop here or coming from…
Here’s a sweet ride for you! I adore this truck stamp! This card would be appropriate for anyone at any age. Don’t you think? Here’s a look at the stamp set: You can buy it as a stand alone, or you can bundle it with the Truck Ride Dies to…
Pressed Petals & Daisies is dedicated to my late Mom-in-Law, JoAnn Hallam, who was the ultimate gardener. Today she would have been 90 years old! Happy Birthday, Mom! This card is for you. Did you ever press flowers between waxed paper in a book? If you were to open some…
It’s Tropical Chic in unconventional colors today. I love these blues and the way they compliment each other. It looks very ocean-sea-breezy to me! I’m sneaking in an extra post this week, because I want to enter my card into the TGIF Challenge #220. Here is the banner that started…
“CASE”: to Copy and Share Everything. I say, why not? As long as you give credit to the original designer! (It does NOT feel good to put your creative heart & soul into something and have someone else copy it and pretend that it’s their design!) But that being said,…
Welcome to my Monday blog post! It’s Masculine Monday during the month of July. Today I’ve created a Waterfront scene for my brother’s birthday card. He lives in the Minneapolis area, but owns a cabin in the northern part of Minnesota (I think they all do! 😉) Every time…
We always seem to be short on masculine birthday cards, right? I thought I’d start putting in masculine cards on Mondays. It’s one way to build up my supply! Here is my first ~ I know there are plenty of women that enjoy sailing and this could be for anyone.…

Here I go again, mixing old and new. But just look at how beautifully our new Woven Heirlooms stamp set pairs with our old Petal Promenade DSP! I am a fan of this scripty, pen & ink font! Woven Heirlooms has such beautiful sentiments, which is what drew me in.…
Sometimes the most surprising color combinations actually work quite well together! For example, I would most likely never have put Terracotta Tile together with Seaside Spray, but Stampin’ Up! did. And look how pretty they are together in Woven Threads DSP! Paired with Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set and the new…
Oh, I love this Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! It is just one part of a whole suite of “beautiful.” I made this card with the DSP, the Free As A Bird Stamp Set, and a pair of Paper Snips. I used Thick Whisper White Cardstock for…
Happy Monday everyone! And Happy Memorial Day! I am heading back home as you read this, after a fun filled weekend with my daughter and grandson. Couldn’t have been better! I hope you enjoyed your weekend as well. I am featuring one of the new Designer Series Papers today from…
I have two cards to show you today. These are so fast to put together, and the result is so pretty! I used the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. Take a look ~ This photo-realistic paper is gorgeous. I finally got the nerve to cut into one of the sheets…
I had a TON of fun creative alternative cards with the April Pumpkin Paper Kit! Even though I loved the ideas that the kit came with, I enjoyed spreading out all the parts and pieces and coming up with my own ideas. No, they are not too far off from…
