My friend, Jessica, asked me for some thank you note cards. She likes the smaller Note Card & Envelope size, so I’m creating a variety for her. I thought I’d start out with this one, using the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper ~ I…
I was NOT going to craft today! I have so many other things that need to get done. But that frog kept looking up at me, and I couldn’t resist! My husband says I’m addicted…maybe?…but not a bad addiction to have. I prefer to think of it as a habit…
I had so much fun making the last Z-Fold card that I decided to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) myself! This design will be one that I share with my class attendees tomorrow. I’ve decided to enter it into the Festive Friday Challenge #25 with the “stitching.” Here is the…
I have “rediscovered” Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. You know how you use something for a while, move on to new products and forget the old? Then one day, you’re thumbing through your stash collection and fall in love with something you haven’t even looked at for a few months.…

I needed a birthday card for a man who loves the rugged outdoors. What more perfect set for that than Waterfront?! A simple layout – a Tranquil Tide base card, Wood Textures DSP cut at 2″x5-1/2″, a 1/4″ strip of Early Espresso across the middle, then the art piece. I…
