Last Chance List (1 June 2009) As the debut of a new catalog approaches, it's almost time to bid farewell to our retiring stamp sets. We are now calling the retired list the last chance list–because it your last chance to buy these wonderful products. In celebration of the retired list, I am holding a…
I thought I'd make a card without the designer series paper (gasp!!!). Yesterday when I was playing around with spritzing the card stock with water before feeding it through the texturz plates and Big Shot, I made one using the scrolls plate from the Texturz Backgrounds #1. As you can see it came out really…
I’m amazed what a difference it makes if you lightly spritz the card stock with water before running it through the Big Shot using one of the texturz plates. Spritzing lightly with water makes a deeper impression on the card stock. Recipe: Stamp Set: Nature Silhouettes Paper: Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke, To the Nines Specialty…
The colors in the Sweet Always Designer series Paper are unusual but I like them. Who would think that Pumpkin Pie and Regal Rose would go together. Though this looks like I used the rock 'n roll method, I did not! I first inked up the image in Regal Rose, then carefully colored the tips of the…

Today's post includes a very simple card for Father, whether it's for Father's Day, birthday or any special occasion. As you can see it doesn't have any stamping on it nor fancy embellishments. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I don't have very many sentiment stamps so I find myself using the…
I wasn't in the mood to stamp today but I did want to have a card for you. I pulled out this image that I had colored several weeks ago. The reason I didn't use it because I used the wrong color (should have used Bordering Blue instead Baja Breeze). I inked up the brayer…

I hope everyone enjoyed their day today. After a delicious brunch at Copeland's, I was ready for the sofa but decided to stamp instead. Then I took a nap! Today's post is a masculine card. I've been doing so many floral cards lately that I felt the need for a "male" card. I just received…
This card is for my youngest daughter. As you can see by the previous card (which I made a couple of days ago), the two girls are complete opposites. I want to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day and hope everyone enjoys this day. We plan to go out for brunch to Copeland's. I received this…
