  • Soft Summer

      Isn't this heart charm pretty?  It was originally a label pin and is made by 1928 jewelery. Before I go into the card, I thought I would share a story with you.  In the early 90's, I bought a long wool coat and it was in the color Eggplant.   The style then was to wear…

  • By The Sea

  • A Baby’s Hand

      I was at Hobby Lobby the other day when I ran across BasicGrey's Sugared Rub-ons.  I saw the sentiment above and I knew the perfect stamp for it!  I've had the stamp set "Hand in Hand" for several months and used it once before for this card.  The stamp set is by Melanie Muenchinger…

  • Soft Summer

    It was love at first sight for me when I saw this stamp set in the latest Occasions Mini Catalog scheduled for publication on 1 April 2009.  This one is a keeper and I will not be selling it when it retires!  The name of the stamp set is Soft Summer and it reminds me…

  • Merry Christmas

    I hope you don't get tired of Christmas cards.  I will be making them throughout the year.  I belong to the Stamping Christmas All Year Long Divas and we make a card once a week (we have a hard taskmaster (LOL)!  Seriously, it's one way to stay on top of all the Christmas cards I make every…
