I have one more card for Mother’s Day, in case anyone is still looking for an idea. This is very similar to one I posted last week (see it HERE) but with a few important changes. I cut and scored this Marina Mist card stock base to be a side…
Today I’m mixing a bit of new with a bit of old, and calling it Throwback Thursday. It’s really a mix up of several different years ~ a taste of my craft room, if you will! I am soooo excited about my new (to me) baby bundle, A Little Wild!…
Here’s a sweet card using Flying Home stamp set* for Mother’s Day. The mama bird with her babies just seemed perfect for the occasion! This card measures 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ square, so it fits into a regular Medium Envelope, although a custom envelope with a fun print would be so…
A Mother’s Flair is an ideal stamp set for a Mother’s Day card. It has four great sentiments with four retro images that are super cute! This set will be retiring as of May 31, 2018, but you can still buy it in time for Mother’s Day. I am…
Last week I invited you to leave me on comment on my new blog site and I offered a card kit for a randomly selected (through random.org) person. Today I picked a winner! She will receive the parts and pieces to make this card ~ and that winner is….…
Sunday was my husband’s birthday. Does anything say “relaxing” like Adirondack chairs by the water? We have a couple of these by our pool, so this card was a little piece of our backyard, Dogwoods and all! I started with a top fold, thick Whisper White cardstock base. After cutting…

It’s a happy day in Granite Bay! The strawberry stands opened today and I was right there to buy some yummy local berries! I’ll be buying several baskets next week to put up some of my fresh strawberry jam. But for now, I brought them home and reached for the…
Check out this Coffee Cafe bundle for a fun fold card! This has been one of my favorite suites this year. When I saw a card with this swinging arm by Jeanie Stark, I knew right away that I needed to try it with my Coffee Cups Framelits. It is…
As I mentioned yesterday, I am in the process of revamping my blog site. It will still be a few more days before I’m ready to post projects for you to see, but I was just made aware of a new Clearance Rack sale and wanted to be sure you…
Please bear with me while I’m revamping my blog site! I should have it up and running within a week. Meanwhile, speaking of revamping, have you heard about Stampin’ Up!’s Color Revamp? Beginning in June, we will have these gorgeous new In Colors. I love the names that so aptly…
