Forgetting the ink is water based, I stamped with the ink and then tried coloring it in with an Aqua Painter. The outline… Read More »
“A good friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.” That is one of my favorite St Paddy’s Day sayings! St Patrick’s Day also has special meaning for us. David and I had our first date on 17 March and every year we celebrate by going out to dinner. But we will not be doing that this year 🙁 The image was stamped with Tuxedo… Read More »
Today’s card is for my grandson, Troy. He is not a sailor but Ventura is right at the ocean in California so I thought the sailor theme would be appropriate. When they are young (over 18 but under 30), you just don’t know what they really like! I used the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper for the banner and background panel. The banner was generated using the retired Thank… Read More »

I wanted a very spring looking card for the 1st day of March. I don’t have a SU stamp set that has a lamb in it so I… Read More »

The Fable Friends Stamp Set is overloaded with cuteness! Who can resist these cute animals? Don’t you want to just hug them all? I do! I must be in a cuteness mode because the last couple of cards I’ve made have been cute whimsical cards and I still have a lot of ideas whirling in my head for other cute cards. The flowers are from the retired Southern Serenade Stamp… Read More »
Fable Friends Stamp Set is just an overload of cuteness for Easter! Who can resist these cute animals? Can you?

Trimmed down the panel to 3″ x 3″ and layered it with Shaded Spruce Card Stock (3 1/8″ x… Read More »
