Hi Stampin' Friends A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we were celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary. In going through some pictures for another project, I came across a picture that was taken during the wedding. I guess it's one that didn't make it into the album. We were married on 14 February 1993 at the Loveland Ski area near Denver. We are wearing ski clothes (even the minister!)… Read More »

Hi Stampin' Friends In making this card, it reminded me of "where's Waldo" from the late 80's. Does anyone remember the book? Where's Waldo? introduces readers to Wally, a distinctively dressed man, as he sets off on "a world-wide hike". Waldo travels to everyday places – such as the beach, the ski slopes and the zoo. The book features 12 detailed 2-page illustrated spreads of the different locations.… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card features the Pleasant Poppies Clear Mount Stamp Set or at least part of that stamp set. As you can see by this picture, I cut the set in half. I think I like it better this way. I've used it only once as a background and I think I'll be able to use it more often this way. The poppies were stamped with Versamark… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends The Swallowtail Clear Mount Stamp is a gorgeous plus size butterfly. It's absolutely gorgeous when colored in and I hated to cut off part of the wings to make it fit the card. The image was stamped with Versamark on Naturals White Card Stock. It was then embossed with the Black Stampin' Emboss Powder and set with the Heat Tool. The butterfly was then colored in… Read More »

The image was stamped with Starfruit Classic Stampin' Pad on Whisper White… Read More »
