Ever Eden
Hello friend! I thought I’d take a break from Christmas cards, tags, & bags (my dining room looks like Santa’s workshop!) and make a card for a friend who could use a bit of encouragement. I think this beautiful Designer Series Paper from the Ever Eden collection will lift her…

Brighten Someone’s Day
Happy Daisies Among The Granite
One thing that has helped me cope with this whole “sheltering-in-place” order is getting out for a (solo) walk through the neighborhood. I have my phone camera ready and look for opportunities to shoot nature photos that bring me joy. We live in a town called Granite Bay. It is…
A Rare Saturday Post…
Here is a rare Saturday post from me to you. I couldn’t wait… It was so exciting to see that this week’s challenge on Festive Friday included rainbows! I had started this card Thursday night, not knowing exactly what I was going to do with it. I only knew I…

When I saw the color palette for the TGIF Challenge this week, I immediately thought of Lovely Lily Pad and Lily Impressions DSP. Here is my card ~ ~and here is the TGIF banner that inspired my creativity ~ Smoky Slate became my base color. The Pool Party and Melon…
Thoughtful Blooms – A “Sleeper” Set?
At first glance, Thoughtful Blooms may not grab your attention. But when you start stamping and building the images around each other, you get a beautiful look that really catches your eye! I want to thank Kelly Acheson for inspiring me to try these stamps. I took her basic pattern…
Just a Note…of Encouragement
Notes of encouragement don’t have to be super fancy or elaborate. This quick note card was simple and fast, yet quite pretty with the Scalloped Note Card and Envelope set. I chose the blue notecard to go with the Bird Ballad DSP that I picked. Then I cropped the bird…
Mosaic Mood Fun Fold
I’ve used Mosaic Mood DSP in a fun fold card today. I got the card layout idea from Canadian Demonstrator, Suzanne Netz. The Terracotta Tile tile pattern is made of bits of shiny paper so It really shines in the light. It’s so pretty! I cut a 2-1/2″ x 5-1/2″…
