I have Christmas Sets for sale! There are several gently-used Christmas items that I would like to re-home. These are clean and in great shape. Only some of the photopolymer stamps have stained with red ink, but they are still in good shape and stamp well. If you are interested…

I’m in a Fall mood! And yet it is pushing 108 degrees ~ whaaat?! I don’t even live in Arizona! If I pull out the autumnal colors and add a sunflower, will it feel cooler outside? Well, maybe not. But I am thankful for AC and Fall will get here…

I finally busted into my Ringed With Nature Bundle today! I have to admit, I was a bit intimidated and confused by this bundle, but once I watched Mary Deatherage’s video, I was eager to try. Thanks, Mary! So I made this Ringed With Nature Anniversary card. [BTW, today is…

Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper is a 2022 addition, while Painted Poppies has been around for 2-3 years now. Yet, look how well they work together! I guess the stamp is ambiguous enough to work with a number of different flower prints. I love that! Scroll down a bit to…
Here we are ~ the last Thursday of August! Just a little more time to get out and have some fun with water sports like sailing, boating, paddling, swimming. Those were my thoughts when I picked Let’s Set Sail for CCMC730. It’s a color challenge this week and our colors…
