Does anybody else out there have a retired cardstock color that they just can’t let go of? Mossy Meadow is mine. It just goes so well with so many things! What’s your color? My sweet little grandson is having a birthday party and he is loving the forest critters, so…
Good morning! It’s Wednesday already – this week is zooming by! I spent the day yesterday up in the foothills of California where Fall is in full swing. The air was crisp and the leaves are turning. Deer were grazing, and geese were honking their way across the sky. It…
Time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge! This one was a bit of a stumper for me, but I ended up working it out! I picked the center row: Layers/Circle/Sequins. I have a love/hate relationship with sequins. Anybody else with me there? They have a mind of their own and…
Here’s a sweet little autumn thank you note card for you today. I am loving the cooler fall mornings, aren’t you? One of my favorite things to do is slip on a light jacket and take the dog out for a walk at daybreak. Soon it will be sweater weather…
A few weeks ago, my friend (and team leader) Susan Itell sent all of her team members a little package in the mail. It contained four pieces of Stampin’ Up! paper. She said, “Let’s see what you all can do with this!” I haven’t seen the other cards yet, but…
I kind of surprised myself with this card, as I’ve never made anything like it before. That is one reason I love to play with card challenges like the Tic Tac Toe Challenge. It pulls designs out of my head that I didn’t know were in there! I picked the…
Here’s a bit of glam for you this morning! I absolutely love all of the gorgeous foils that are being offered this fall and thought I’d put a few together on my card. First, the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper. This stuff is beautiful! I chose the gold…

Good Monday morning to you! I hope you are having a great start to your week! I saw this piece of DSP in the Painted Autumn collection by Stampin’ Up! that has autumn leaves swirling around in a circle pattern. It’s very different as it starts in the middle and…
It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge! These are fun, as you get to pick any three in a row and let your imagination go! Here is the board ~ …and I picked the bottom row this time ~ patterned paper, get well, and embossing. Here’s my card ~…

I have mentioned before how much I love this Painted Harvest suite of products. When a card making challenge came through with specific directions to use purples in the card, I thought…hmmm….why not?! If nature didn’t make a purple sunflower, I think it should! I made this a 4-1/4″ square…
