Happy First Day of Spring
Yep. That’s right. March 20, 2015. Already. First official day of Spring! So, Happy Spring! Perfect time to whip up some paper flowers, you think? I’d been playing around with a ‘tulip’ design for a long time. I’d make one, toss it, and drop the idea. Did this lots and lots of times. This time,… [Read More]

Nice & Nautical
Nice. Nautical. They go together for today’s card share. I featured this card on my July and August Card Buffets. And, I must admit, it was not one of my original designs. I perused my Pinterest boards to see where it came from – alas, nothing. So, if this is your work, let me know,… [Read More]

Teddy Bear Baby
Teddy Bear Baby was made for welcoming a new baby. A new baby of a blogging friend of mine, Nicole! We post about the same time everyday and send each other nice comments on our cards. I have even used a design of hers or two. She has inspired me to take part in more… [Read More]
Little Gratitude
Double post today? No. Look again. This little ‘gratitude’ was made with the leftover leaves from the card I posted yesterday. Another 3×3. Just a clever way to use what you have. Use minimal supplies. Leaves a big impact! No pun intended! My base was textured Whisper White. It did not seem to want to… [Read More]
