Sometimes you just need a note, and here’s a simple one that you can easily make several of to have on hand. I used Natural Botanicals Stamp Set for the focal piece, on top of Mixed Media Floral DSP. I colored the Cone Flower to match the paper and I…
By now you may have noticed a pattern. Monday is Mystery Stamping over at www.juststampin.com. I enjoy a good challenge, so I dove in right away to solve the mystery! Here’s what I unraveled: It’s a “Pup Tent Fun Fold!” It’s not the easiest to photograph, but I took a…

Beautiful Gallery is a new 6″x 6″ pack of patterned paper that has some gorgeous (and different!) designs in it. The name suggests an art gallery and each piece looks like a painting from one. I love the color combination in this rose “painting.” Two of the new In Colors…

Hummingbirds are such interesting creatures! We have a couple of feeders outside our kitchen window. When they come up to feed it’s like they are saying, “Hello!” as they look in the window before flying off. Their wings make a low hum as they are swooshing by. I colored this…
We’re back this week with a color challenge at Create With Stamping Friends. This week we have Granny Apple Green, Early Espresso, and Melon Mambo to work with. I’m taking a risk with this simple Simply Zinnia card, as it’s on the Last Chance List. I’m counting on it still…
We start September with a Color Challenge at Create With Stamping Friends! Today’s color combination was truly a challenge for me. My first go-to is DSP but there is nothing with these three colors in it. I started looking through the catalog (great way to get inspiration, by the way!)…

It’s Thursday, and I’m back with Create With Stamping Friends! This week we have a color challenge. When looking at these colors, I was pretty sure I would be making a floral card. I landed on Transluscent Florals, mainly because I hadn’t used them in a while. Don’t you love…
I’m going with Textured Floral for this sketch challenge at Create With Connie & Mary this week. Here’s the sketch ~ And here’s my card~ Textured Floral has a beautiful watercolor-like assortment of blooms and leaves. It’s a classic floral. It’s been around for awhile but I’ve rarely used it…

I’m so excited! My Trucking Along Bundle arrived while I was gone on vacation, and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I know that if you weren’t johnny-on-the-spot when it became available again, you missed getting the punch. It will be back in the Fall and you’ll have another…
