Simple. Clean. Crisp. That’s how I describe this card from my Annual Christmas Card Class – I love it. I wanted to show off this fun red Pompom Trim in a different way. Holly berries – why not? The card is a little thicker, but the results are pretty! And, you can’t go wrong with… [Read More]

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]
Celebrate a Challenge
I did it. I found a little ‘me time’. Well, actually I was cleaning up my stampin’ ‘stuff’ that’s strewn about the house. I’ve still had this sketch on my mind. As I had a stack of scraps to put away, I had three colors together that caught my attention, Real Red, Blackberry Bliss and… [Read More]

Oh, Hello
Oh, Hello. Everyone likes to receive a card, just because, right? That’s what I made today, a card, just because. Just to say, ‘oh, hello’! And, of course, for a card challenge! Today, I’m playing along with Create with Connie & Mary, sketch challenge 257. What a wonderful sketch it is. My take is simple. Pretty much 2 colors,… [Read More]

Happy Easter Great Niece
Candy Bunny, again! This time a quick post for my great nieces, I have a few of them. It’s quick because I’m still sick. Never got to make these for my great nephews either. Needed to make more of these, but my ‘throat infection’ got in the way. But, you get to see it anyway!… [Read More]
Happy Easter, Bunny
Turn around little bunny! This was another one of the cards I made the other day at my up lines stamp camp. It’s a sweet little card that showcases lots of Stampin’ Up products. I really like the bunny made from all the punches. It’s cute and simple. The fun part was using these Martha… [Read More]
Big Blue Butterfly

Feel Better Soon
Need a card that ‘stands out’ for someone not feeling too well? This card does the trick. The ’tissue box’ is actually 3-D on the front of the card! A tissue even puffs out! Very cute! It was one of the cards at my January and February Card Buffets. I thought this combination of Sale-a-Bration… [Read More]
More Dallas SWAPS
What to see a few more swaps? These two are from my Stampin’ enablers, Carolyn Raines and Nancy Hewitt. They each made a some super cute cards combining things unexpected. Carolyn’s card is predominately shades of greens (can’t recall which ones) in her cute take on a St. Patrick’s Day card. She then added the… [Read More]
