Hello, everyone! Don't look now, but it's almost October! Eee!! I love this time of year because Halloween is my favorite holiday, but for the past few years I've been so busy I haven't been able to make any Halloween cards. (I know!) So with that in mind, I'm sure... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! I am here today to share my first Christmas card of the season! When I saw the theme was for Christmas/winter bears over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge blog, I immediately thought of Mama Elephant's A Beary Christmas stamp set. It is not a new set,... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! It's that time of year again. Time for the My Favorite Things Superstar Challenge! I wanted to enter last year, but I ended up so busy that before I realized it the challenge had ended. Not so this year! (Even if it is the last day to enter,... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to share my card today! Not only did I finally get to play with the "You're Purrfect" stamp set by Clearly Besotted (these kitties are the cutest), but I also got to try out three new-to-me techniques: no-line coloring, stamping my own patterned paper, and...

Hello, everyone! Now that summer is officially over, I dove into the fall foliage-themed My Monthly Hero September kit by Hero Arts (linked below). This kit is brimming with beautiful stamps and matching dies, making autumn card-making a joy. I chose a design with clean lines and embossed the images... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! Today I went BIG with an A9-sized inside tunnel card for back to school, featuring Harry Potter! An A9-sized card is 5.5" x 8.5." That is half of a regular-sized sheet of printer paper! Considering I usually make A2-sized cards (4.25" x 5.5"), it is quite a departure.... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! Okay, so remember how yesterday's card was inspired by The Zombie Song? Well, today my littles were in a Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows sort of mood. (I think I may have lost a few brain cells. lol) Luckily, I happened to have just the Impression Obsession... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! We're still getting back into the swing of things with the whole school routine at my house. It's a little different this year. Now that my youngest has started kindergarten, I have now experienced a quiet house for the first time...EVER! Not to worry, though, my littles did... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! I was inspired today by brightly colored fruit! I saw the photo inspiration challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More (linked below) and I just couldn't stop thinking of The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar.

Hello, everyone! I pulled inspiration from a few different challenges to make today's card. For the topic, I chose to go with CCEE Stamper's "World Lion Day" challenge, which was to use jungle animals on a card. The palette came from The Paper Players color challenge, using Tim Holtz's distress... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! Today I have once again tried my hand at a clean and simple design! This style sounds so simple, I don't know why it continues to give me so much grief! I started with a color challenge calling for blueberry, moss green and that gorgeous spicy orange-brown. Of... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! I came across Impression Obsession's "Christmas in July" challenge (linked below) and realized I had a few Impression Obsession snowflake dies that would work for the theme. I used the large snowflake as well as the peace die a few weeks earlier to make a card using only... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! I don't know what it is, but apparently I've been making a lot of cards lately with themes that begin with the letter 'B.' (I feel as though I'm preparing a Kindergarten lesson.) Let's see, I've done birds, butterflies, bumble bees and now bugs! Well, caterpillars, but still.... Continue reading

Hello, everyone! I have one last Christmas in July card to share (since this happens to be the last day left in July) and it is a Pop-Up! I just love how fun this fancy fold card is! Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die really makes it easy to... Continue reading
