Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I’m starting off the week with a birthday card that I made for my friend whose birthday is today ~ Happy Birthday Shary! I used Varied Vases with Nature’s Poem DSP: I am down to my last few bits of…
As I was preparing my card for the Pal’s Blog Hop on Wednesday, I was thinking I might show off another of the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper, which started me on a process of card-building and re-building. I made my card and it just wasn’t what I had been…

It’s a beautiful summer day to enjoy life! This card reminds me of my daughter who runs marathons early in the morning. She is raising her arms in victory with the sunrise behind her. When I saw this silhouette stamp I knew I wanted to try creating a sunburst behind.…

Today’s card is fast and fun ~ you can make several in no time and be ready for a relaxing weekend! It’s all about the colors and layering on this card. The Happy Birthday Thinlits in Tranquil Tide really pop against the pale Soft Sea Foam. Both colors, along with…
I have another Varied Vases card for you today with one of my favorite colors, Bermuda Bay. I want to credit Chris Smith for this vase arrangement. I changed it just a little, by putting the vases on a shelf and by using Blends to color them rather than Watercolor…
A summer birthday calls for a beach scene, don’t you think? I mixed up several stamp sets to bring you this summery, beachy scene ~ The chair and sentiment are from Colorful Seasons, the water, birds, and sun are from High Tide, and the sand and sun sparkles are from…
