Masculine Monday

Good Morning Stampers Today's card is for my other grandson Troy whose birthday is on Wednesday, 31 March.  I also added a star on his card because all my grandchildren are stars in my eyes. These extreme sports/hobbies stamps by Stampin' Up! (like Extreme Guitar and Extreme Skateboard) are perfect for that special someone between the ages of 10 and 21 when it's so hard to make a card for them… Read More »

Extreme Skateboard

Good Morning Stampers Today's card is for my grandson David.  Did I tell you that there are four David's in our family?  There's my husband David, my son-in-law David, my grandson David and his other grandfather David.  Well, there were five Davids in our family (and this is hard for me to talk about), but my husband's son David died about three years ago. The colors for this card came from… Read More »

New Digital Downloads for My Digital Studio

Good Morning Stampers! I bought the latest downloads and was playing around the new designer series paper on the MDS (Shades of Spring) – so cool!  I also used the new Satin Ribbon – it's as beautiful as the real thing!  I made the below scrapbook page of my granddaughter Felicia: The MDs has a tool called Match Color where I was able to color in the bird using the… Read More »

A Kind Word

Good Morning Stampers It's a cold 33 degrees outside but sunny so Spring is definitely on its way – a little slow but oh well.  As long as I'm warm and comfy inside and I can stamp, I'm happy! For today's card, I decided to make a very Springy card (is that a word?) and use the layout from Techno Stamper (Mary Jo Williams) Monday Lunchtime Sketch 110. When I saw… Read More »

Beary Best Friends

Good Morning Stampers Today's card is for my granddaughter Rachel.  I just received the stamp set "Beary Best Friends" and decided to use it for her Valentine's card.    The teddy bears in this stamp set are so cute!  Don't know why I waited so long to buy this set.  The teddy bear was stamped on Very Vanilla card stock using Basic Brown.    I colored her face, arms and legs with… Read More »

The Saga of Rachel’s Dress

Good Morning Stampers! Another challenge from John Sanpietro, our stamping coach.  He challenged us to post a picture of the next thing we are going to scrapbook and why. You may be wondering why would she show a picture of a dress and then scrapbook the dress?  Well, its a really cute story and a very typical story of little girls and their favorite dresses.  I'll leave you guessing the rest… Read More »

Merry Moments Ornament Money Holder

I've made a couple of gift holders for my grandchildren.  I've made two and need four more to go.  I saw the cutest ornament money holders on Lisa Eisner's (Princess Lisa) blog.  Lisa got the idea from Carolina Buchting (Carolina's Creative Pad).  Carolina has a video tutorial on her blog on how to make this cute money holder. I need to make six of these and I thought that the brown… Read More »

Even a wrapped ankle needs a little bling

Good Morning Stampers. My granddaughter hurt her ankle in school a couple of days ago.  So when it was wrapped up, she had to add a little bling to it.   It's a scarf made of some shimmery silky material. Like I've said so numerous times, this My Digital Studio is so easy to use and it took all of ten minutes to whip up this scrapbook page.  But I used… Read More »

Arkansas Razorbacks!

I'm sure all my friends have heard this story, so if you've heard it before you may want to skip this part.  Rachel, Cissy and David had come over for the day to watch a Razorback football game.  As you can see they have on the uniforms – after all we are a Razorback family through and through!.  When it was time for me to put Rachel down for her… Read More »
