Good Morning Stampers! I saw the most beautiful butterflies and cards on one of the forums the other day made by Sharon Field and decided to case one of her cards. I really like the way this came out. Here's a close up of the butterfly but the camera does not do it justice. It is so pretty IRL. I think it's absolutely gorgeous! Thanks Sharon for your inspiration! Thanks for stopping by today… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers This is a first for me! I usually don't do punch art but I decided to try it after seeing someone and I can't remember who (sorry) make flowers using the small flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes punches from the Summer Mini Catalog. I thought I can do that using the Trio Flower Punch! So what do you think? Do you like it? I decided to… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers Yellow roses speak of springtime, renewal and friendship. As a color of enduring friendship, faithful attention and devotion, yellow roses are a perfect choice to send to newlyweds, graduates and new mothers. Yellow roses have always been my favorite – I love to receive them no matter the occasion. The inspiration for today's card came from a rose bush that my husband bought me last week and transplanted… Read More »

With the card already made and signed, you have plenty of time to whip up a small gift. In this case, I decided to make a bird… Read More »

I really liked how this card… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! I'm working on my box of goodies from the Summer Mini Catalog which I will be showcasing in the next couple of weeks. I got sidetracked (very easy to do!) when I saw the cutest card by Michelle Singer on one of the yahoo groups. It was in blue and featured the stamp set Animal Stories. I decided to make one in pink because even I don't have anyone… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers I received my box of goodies from the Summer Mini Catalog and wanted to start using them but I had already started this card and I thought I would finish it before I started a new project.

Good Morning Stampers If you read yesterday's post, you know that we are getting new colors and losing some colors on 1 July 2010. I am so excited about the new colors and not sorry (okay a little bit) about the retiring colors. Though I will miss Creamy Caramel, Ruby Red, Pale Plum and Almost Amethyst, I never did like using the other ones such as Only Orange, Ballet Blue,… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! Today's card is for someone very special in my life. Her birthday is in May but I won't give her name here because she is a subscriber to my blog. She may think it's for her but she won't know for sure because I have five birthdays in May that I have to make cards for and they all fit into the category of "special". I have two close girlfriends, one… Read More »
