This week we have a sketch challenge at Create With Stamping Friends! I love a good sketch ~ one that you can interpret different ways. I took this sketch and “saw” the embroidery hoop being the center point with “You Inspire Me” as my sentiment. Here’s the sketch: And here’s…
Here’s a pretty little faith-based card that would be perfect for Easter or to anyone needing some hope! It uses the all-new Lovely Garden DSP. This Designer Series Paper is from the newly released Online Exclusives. It’s called Lovely Garden and was quickly my favorite! Here’s a peek at all…
Happy Monday! I’ve had this Wildly Flowering birthday card in “Drafts” for some time now and had forgotten about it! I think it’s time to post it! While Moody Mauve has not been my go-to color, I really like the combination of Early Espresso and Basic White with it. It…
Hello, March! Did you know that March is National Craft Month?! No? Neither did I until this morning when I read it on Stamp-n-Storage‘s website. It’s also my birthday month! How appropriate 😁 ! I’m going to start the month with a birthday fun fold card: This Floral Delight DSP…

I love visiting the ocean, beach combing for shells and searching the tide pools for sea stars, etc. We have beautiful, rustic beaches in Northern California that are perfect for that activity. These are not the surfing beaches of Santa Cruz and south. These are rough and rocky with crashing…

We have a sketch challenge at Create With Stamping Friends this week! I’ve chosen Take To The Sky (FOR CSF 857) for my card. It’s been a long while since I’ve pulled this pack of paper out. I decided it was time to give it a little attention before it…
I love coffee! I can’t wait to get up in the morning and hit the “brew” button! So I made this card for my husband, who knows my morning coffee routine. This will mean a lot to him! ❤️ He is the best part of my day! (right after my…
I’m playing with Tic, Tac, Toe today with their heart-inspired challenge. I had been wanting to make a Kraft/Black/Vanilla Valentine, and this fits the bill! It’s an Elements of Text Love Card! Here’s the challenge: And here’s my card: I went with the top horizontal row with Enameled Dots/Kraft Cardstock/Love…
Wow! More new products are coming out in March! I want to try out each of these beautiful designer papers, ribbons, and embellishments, but to order everything would be a lot ~ so I am wondering if any of you would like to do an Online Exclusives Product Share with…
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! It only makes sense that I would make a Valentine card for our Create With Stamping Friends Challenge this week. I made a Be Mine – Valentine card with this unlikely color combo ~ Actually it wasn’t too hard, with Poppy red, Petunia pinky-purple, and a…
