  • Soft Summer

    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…

  • First Impressions

    Is crafting a big part of your life? Wouldn’t you love to earn money while doing something you enjoy? How about the convenience of setting your own hours?

  • Thoughts and Prayers

    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…

  • Happy Mother’s Day

    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…

  • Fifth Avenue Floral

    These flowers are addicting!  I was not one of the first one to buy this set, but after seeing all the beautiful cards everyone else was making, I knew I had to have it!  And I'm not sorry!

  • Friends 24-7

    I bet you are wondering where I got the gorgeous paper!  It is from the Au Chocolate DSP (retired) that I used yesterday.  The colors are Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla but I made it into Chcolate Chip and Regal Rose. I used the brayer and Regal Rose Classic ink giving it several coats.  I…

  • Friends 24-7

    Today was a very easy day for me.  The card on my other blog, Inspirations by Rachel, was made without any stamping.  This card includes some stamping but no coloring!  Yes!!! I love those kind of days. Recipe: Stamp Set: Friends 24-7 Paper:  Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Designer Series Paper Au Chocolate (retired) Ink:  Chocolate…

  • Card for my daughter

    Today's post includes a Mother's Day card I made for my daughter Deena who lives in California.  One of the bad things about living so far apart is that I don't get to spend very many holidays with her and her family. No stamping on this card – not even for the sentiment!  One of…
