Tropical Retirement Escape!
Dreaming of retirement? My friend was, and now she has! This card will help her get into a relaxed state of mind as she transitions into retirement! I think a trip to a tropical island would be just the ticket! For my card, I used Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Top o’ the mornin’ to ye! I could not let St. Patrick’s Day go by without creating a fun card for my grandsons! This is a “search and rescue” card (I’ll explain in a minute!) The idea was born when I saw this banner from Festive Friday Challenge #29… What…

Birthday Cheer ~ plus my cupcake recipe!
March is my birthday month! And even though it isn’t until the end of the month, I’m getting into the birthday mood. So I made you some cupcakes today to bring in a little Birthday Cheer! How about this color combo for cheerful?! Bermuda Bay, Pineapple Punch, Melon Mambo, and…
Painted Seasons
I have a quick Friday post for you. I received the free Painted Seasons bundle along with the purchased coordinating framelits yesterday, and I could not wait to open them and play! This paper makes me so happy ~ the colors are vibrant and rich. I adore it! Here is…
A Team Effort!
I have the sweetest little team that I am proud to call my friends in this stamping journey! Today we gathered at my house for some “team building!” I can call it that because each person brought a card and all the materials for the rest of us to build…
Amazing Life is a Piece of Cake!
This card is simple, fun, and very green ~ it’s a piece of cake! The moment I saw this print in Happiness Blooms DSP, I knew I would be making a St. Patty’s Day card with it. The Call Me Clover green and shiny Gold Foil Sheet make me look…
Up & Away for #FF0028
I have accumulated quite a collection of Glimmer (aka glitter) Papers over the past years, but other than at Christmas time, I rarely use them. Then the Festive Friday Design Team came out with a challenge using Glimmer Paper this week… Game On! I have no idea what prompted me…
A Happy Hybrid
Lovely Lattice Thank You Card
It’s hard to believe that this beautiful stamp set would be free! It is one of the Sale-A-Bration selections in the first brochure. It’s called Lovely Lattice and you’ll find it on page 15. The sentiment is from Butterfly Gala and I think it looks like it was made to…
Whimsical Birthday Card
I had fun teaching the ladies in my class this week the “mirror-image stamping” technique with these wide-eyed frogs! And here they are, holding balloons to help celebrate somebody’s birthday…maybe yours? Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper makes a splashy backdrop and a colorful palette from which to create the balloons.…
Wonderful Romance + Botanical Butterflies = A Beautiful Combo
Here’s another pretty, feminine card for you today ~ I made this one up mostly from the Floral Romance suite. It includes the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set, Wonderful Florals Framelit Dies, and Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper. The first thing I did was cut the right edge of a…
Flirty and Feminine
All My Love Designer Series Paper may have been my go-to valentine pack, but I had two of these beautiful floral Flirty Flamingo sheets left and I was excited to create something else with them. What I came up with is this ultra-fem card that I love! As I looked…
Throwback Thursday
Every once in awhile, I think it’s fun to go back to some old products, pull them out and dust them off. When I saw that the banner for the Festive Friday Challenge included stars, I dug deep and found lots of long forgotten stuff! So I hope FF doesn’t…
