It’s been awhile since I’ve shared anything with Good Morning Magnolia. It’s worth a revisit! This is a beautiful stamp set with many possibilities. I’ve decided to use the large flower image on my card today, keeping it relatively simple. Here’s a look at the stamp set and dies. These…
While the temperatures are soaring out there this July, we could use a little snowy scene to cool us down psychologically, right? TGIF Challenge has given us “Christmas in July” to cool things down a little, and I’m all for that! TGIFC#221 My card for the challenge is a very…
Pressed Petals & Daisies is dedicated to my late Mom-in-Law, JoAnn Hallam, who was the ultimate gardener. Today she would have been 90 years old! Happy Birthday, Mom! This card is for you. Did you ever press flowers between waxed paper in a book? If you were to open some…

“CASE”: to Copy and Share Everything. I say, why not? As long as you give credit to the original designer! (It does NOT feel good to put your creative heart & soul into something and have someone else copy it and pretend that it’s their design!) But that being said,…
I started out to make a tropical shirt card with this Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. Now as I look at it, it really looks more like pajamas! Wah, waaah! Too funny. Maybe a cute sleepover invitation? My inspiration was a shop I saw in Hawaii this spring when I was…
I think a box of happy mail is such a nice gift! Here is a set of four note cards that I put together in a handmade box that will put a smile on anyone’s face. The set primarily uses Bird Ballad DSP with a few coordinating products thrown in.…

Welcome to my Monday blog post! It’s Masculine Monday during the month of July. Today I’ve created a Waterfront scene for my brother’s birthday card. He lives in the Minneapolis area, but owns a cabin in the northern part of Minnesota (I think they all do! 😉) Every time…
Garden Lane Designer Series Paper is a beautiful mix of greens. And only greens. Well, with a smidge of white here and there. It’s pretty and fresh — makes me want to hold a garden party! I used the Floral Essence Stamp Set and Leaf Punch along with the DSP…
