Happy Monday morning! I have made a card to share with you today that shows you can get your inspiration from all sorts of different places. My card today sprung from a glance at (of all things) a Kleenex box! Yes, check it out ~ I used Helping Me Grow,…
This Specialty Designer Series Paper is called Affectionately Yours. It has a variety of colors, including two sheets that have metallic copper in it (which makes it a specialty paper.) One of the sheets is what I have used here with Night of Navy and Tip Top Taupe – a…
I CASEd the idea for this card from the new 2016-17 Annual Catalog, page 44. You’ll find it in the Affectionately Yours Suite section. I used many of the same products, just changed them up slightly. It’s such a fun stamp set with so many little parts and pieces to…

I thought I’d give myself a challenge and try a single layer card. Not so easy as it looks! But a fun change. I found myself wanting to add more…the little rhinestones are the only thing that gives this card any dimension. I masked off the oval in the center…

Here is a very simple card for a fairly complex sketch at today’s Pals Paper Arts challenge. The sketch by Nicole Watt was my inspiration: I decided to let the Designer Series Paper do the work for me on this one! I have a bit of English Garden left. We…
Are you inspired by beautiful photos? I mean, who isn’t?! I took this photo while staying at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel in Tiberius, Israel. This is a sunrise on the Sea of Galilee: It was such a fabulous trip. We went with a tour group through Noseworthy Travel Services. I…
I’ve just returned from a fabulous tour of the Holy Land. It was the trip of a lifetime! I’m working off jet lag, as Israel is 10 hours ahead of us, but I’m eager to get back into my craft room – so here we go! This is a sneak…
There is just something about pink and green together that makes me think of weddings……oh yeah, those were the colors in my wedding… 40 years ago! When I saw the color combination of Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz, and Gold on this week’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge, I knew a wedding…
Once upon a time I quilted – blankets, clothing, wall decor. When I taught kindergarten and first grade, I had the students create a paper quilt each month as a lesson in geometry. I loved the patterns and colors in their quilts and I hung them up in the room…

I just received this stamp set called Made With Love as an incentive gift from Stampin’ Up! so I had to give it a “test drive!” It is the most adorable collection of images for babies that I’ve seen. I am also on a mission to use up as much…
