We end the month of May with a sketch challenge at Create With Connie & Mary. As easy as last week’s card was, this one was way more challenging for me! But that’s what I enjoy about these sketches – they really stretch my creativity! I decided to work with…
I made this birthday card for a special friend, Connie. I don’t think she’ll mind if I share it with you. (Connie, I know you’re reading this – feel free to comment!) It’s my first run with the Hues of Happiness Suite Collection, and I think it’s so pretty, I…
I have a family member who loves birds. She has several birdhouses, bird feeders, and bird baths. For her birthday, I couldn’t think of a better stamp set than Garden Birdhouses for her card! Simple Steps: I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with my Blends.…
Welcome to our April edition of CASEing Coast to Coast! So glad you’re here! Rosanne and I take turns CASEing each other once a month (that is Copy And Selectively Edit) and combine our posts for a little sharing fun. If you’re wondering why the “coast to coast,” she lives…
I’m giving you a little preview of the new 2022-24 In Colors, coming May 3rd. Yesterday I introduced Sweet Sorbet and today I’m introducing Parakeet Party. Best described as “electric green!” At first glance I thought it was Granny Apple Green all over again, but no, this one is much…
Another one of my favorite stamp bundles in the Annual Catalog is Sweet As A Peach. Right now, until March 31st, Sweet As A Peach is 20% off! Normally priced at $41.00, it’s now only $32.75! That’s as sweet as a peach 🙂 Here are a couple of cards that…
It’s Saturday, the day I go “simple” to try and show you that you can make beautiful handmade cards without a lot of expensive tools. Simply stamps, ink, and paper (and maybe an embellishment!) Today I’ve been playing with In Bloom for Simple Saturday. To start this card, I took…

Two of my favorite characters, Ruthie & Warren, are back with some birthday wishes! They dressed up for you, too! Did you notice they have coordinating outfits on today? Yep, they is stylin’! I do love this couple! For this birthday card, I dug out my Bloom Where You’re Planted…
This card was pure “play!” I saw Julie Davison demonstrate the reverse masking technique and I had to give it a try. So I pulled out Driving By, a free Sale-a-bration stamp set, and turned the van into a hippie bus! If you were a teenager in the late 60’s/early…
During February in Northern California, we get the most beautiful bloom on the Acacia trees! This one is directly across the street from us, so we get to enjoy the view for about half a month before the color fades out. It was the inspiration for my Inspiring Canopy birthday…
It’s the third Wednesday of the month and that means it’s time for CASEing Coast to Coast! If you are new to my blog, this is the day when Rosanne Mulhern and I take turns Copying And Selectively Editing each other’s cards, or “CASEing” each other. I live on the…

I was inspired to make this card by the Festive Friday Challenge #101, but I’m just about an hour too late to submit it! I thought I’d show you anyway. Maybe you’d like to try one from this challenge as well! International Wetland Day! Who knew…! I read through the…
It’s Thursday again and time for another Create With Connie and Mary Challenge! This week it’s a color challenge and a very pretty one at that! I love Blushing Bride and Night of Navy together. Throw in a little Just Jade and the combo is fantastic! I’ve chosen the new…
