I have been wanting to make a collection of all four seasons with my Sheltering Tree stamp set, and when I saw Linda Heller’s new post today, I thought I would borrow her layout and use this stamp set! For all four cards, I used the Circles Framelits # 6…
The minute I saw this card design on Dawn Olchefske’s web site, I knew I had to make some! Is this not the cutest frog ever?! I’m going to send this card to my grandson, who I miss very much since they moved up to Washington. He is the most…
I’m blending a little new with a little old today with this birthday card. We live among the oak trees here in California. I could be wrong, but I’m calling this image an oak! I stamped it with Mossy Meadow on Whisper White cardstock, then embossed it with clear embossing…
I had in mind a different Designer Series Paper for this Thanksgiving card, but because of a mistake, I ended up using these Farmer’s Market prints. And I’m so glad I did! I am quite happy with the way it turned out. I started with a base of Mossy Meadow,…
As some of you know, I recently went to visit my brother’s family in Minnesota where we spent a week at their cabin in the northern part of the state. It was beautiful there, and we had great weather for all kinds of lake play, until the last day we…

The Pals Paper Arts challenge this week uses very traditional fall colors, which I love! Out came my new best friend, Vintage Leaves, again. I am having so much fun with this set. The color challenge this week is Delightful Dijon,Old Olive and Cajun Craze. Here is the banner…
Who says leaves have to be green? or orange, red, and yellow! I have used unconventional colors in this card and I love the combination of Island Indigo, Smoky Slate, and Tuxedo Black. My design inspiration came from this week’s Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge. Here’s the sketch: See…

I’ve been up to Washington State this past week – gorgeous country northeast of Seattle. Right before I left, my computer crashed! This post was in the making and it was left hanging! While I was gone, our computer “doctor” was able to restore and fix our problem. I came…
Don’t these colors just say “peaceful” to you? I love this combination of Wisteria Wonder, Smoky Slate, and Silver Foil. This bough is from the new stamp set called Peaceful Wreath, available on Sept. 1. I’m doing a little series of cards featuring this stamp set. Scroll down to see…
Yesterday I showed you this stamp set, Peaceful Wreath, in embossed gold. As simple and elegant that one was, this time I’ve given you a much more casual, and yes, busy! use of the same set. I have several new products from the upcoming Holiday Catalog to talk about…
Here is a sneak peek at a new stamp set that will be for sale on September 1st from the new Holiday Catalog. It’s called Peaceful Wreath, and the images are beautiful! I’m going to try several variations with this set, and I’ve started with a simple gold embossing. The…
A new season and a new reason…to use the Sheltering Tree stamp set! I love this set for its versatility. For this autumn card I used Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Soft Suede. I stamped the image and cut it into 3 panels of 1 1/8″ each,…
I thought I’d try to design a photo card…and I think it turned out pretty well! This is a portrait of my daughter (who is now 30 years old!). She looks so sweet surrounded by these DSP prints in Timeless Elegance. The little flowers are Blushing Bride and Very…
