If this doesn’t wake you up, you probably need another cup of coffee! 🙂 I have not spent much time with Magenta Madness. It is one of the five new In Colors and is really an in-your-face color, wouldn’t you say? I put it together with Basket of Blooms (#153305)…
I am simply thankful for all the good things in my life! These times are a little scary. And when I feel like I’m unravelling, remembering what I have to be grateful for definitely helps ground me. I truly have much to be thankful for. This card is a simple reminder…
Whale of a Time DSP is so cute, so bright, so cheerful! Look at this swimming school of fish! And the images and fishy sentiments in Whale Done Stamp Set are so fun ~ even if you don’t live near the ocean! Check these out: Whale of a Time 6″…
Here’s a fun little card to give someone who has just been through surgery and you want to tell them, “Hope you’re back on your feet soon.” The stamp set is called Back On Your Feet, appropriately enough! I love the little critters and the cheeky sentiments that go with…
Our August – December 2020 Mini Catalog (previously called Holiday Catalog) is coming out in a couple of weeks. That means it is time for a Holiday Paper Share! I know ~ it seems like we just did this a month ago, but time marches on, so here we go!…
On Wednesday I shared this daisy card in the Pals Blog Hop. Afterward I made up a set of simple notecards and a daisy box to put them in. They are kind of a companion project to this card and it would make a nice gift set. I gave the…
I think Christmas in July is such a fun concept! I can’t get too serious about the holidays yet, but it’s fun to take on a challenge now and then. Today I am entering a Sketch Challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. Here is the sketch that I took…

Pineapple Punch may have retired last month, but it’s still on my shelf! And when I saw how beautifully it matches this green sheet of Artistry Blooms, I got very excited! So this artistry blooms in greens (and yellow)! Details: Pineapple Punch Cardstock (retired), 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at…
As I continue my adventure with watercolor, I decided to try “painting” this image and created a Prized Peony CAS (clean and simple) card. In fact, it is so clean and simple that I hesitated to even post it. But then I saw the Festive Friday Challenge and it fits pretty…
I’m going out on a limb this morning, posting a first attempt at watercoloring with stamps & ink. Please indulge me here ~ I know I will get better with practice! But we can’t see improvement if we don’t compare everything to where we started, right? It’s World Watercolor Month,…
Here’s a great combo for you ~ Free As A Bird images with Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper! The yellow roses in the DSP are so beautiful in the multi-layered Bumble Bee color. I colored the birds with my Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral Blends to (hopefully!) compliment…
On page 101 of the 2020 Annual Catalog, there is a box gift that was wrapped with Playing With Patterns. I thought it would make a cute card, so I set about to make a Playing With Patterns CASE from the catalog photo. Image © Stampin’ Up! Here is my…
I think everyone can agree, what the world needs now… is a little kindness. World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper is a beautiful assortment of prints that resemble old world maps. The specialty part of it is Brass Foil accents. This Brass Foil is so shiny, it’s like looking…
