I enjoy doing the online challenges with my cardmaking hobby. It is a great way to get the creative juices flowing! Sketches can be taken literally or they can be used as a jumping off point for something original. I am covering two challenges with my card today. The first…
“Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I’m half crazy all for the love of you!” When my 2 year old grandson sang this to me, my heart exploded! He knew every word and sang it with gusto! When I saw this daisy bundle in the new 2017-18 catalog, I…

My friend asked me for a Father’s Day card for her husband. I know from past conversations that he isn’t a Tim the Tool Man (darn, I have all those cute framelits!) but he does love to barbeque! I got this idea from Tami White ~ thank you, Tami! ~…

I had fun trying to watercolor these two large flowers in a way that looks like the wedding invitation I received. I wonder if the bride will look at it and say, “Wow, this looks just like our invitations!” LOL, I seriously doubt it, but I am certain she’ll know…
I had a request for a card using the Cool Treats Bundle for an upcoming class. As I was looking at all of the elements, I thought it might be fun to create triangles on the front as a backdrop to an ice cream sundae. This is what I came…
