The background is from the retired Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the greeting is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set. I used the Layering Ovals Dies to make the template for… Read More »

Today’s card features a card for my grandson David’s birthday. He is turning 21 years old! It’s not an SU image but I did use SU products on it. For my close relatives I always try and use an image that means something to them. If SU doesn’t carry something I can use, I find it elsewhere. In this case, David’s first car was Navy Blue Mustang. He totaled it… 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 »

Thank you for… Read More »
Need to make lots of birthday cards this month – two female and three males! Today’s card is for my nephew who is an avid Cowboys’ fan!

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the stars and greetings to give the card a… Read More »
Today’s post features a shabby chic card for my daughter. I am using 90% non-SU products for her card. I won’t name the online companies I purchased from because as a Stampin’ Up! I cannot promote other card making businesses. The only SU products I used are the Gray Granite Card Stock for the card base, sprigs, and the ribbon from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack. I also used… Read More »
“Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be!” Truer words were never spoken. A couple of years ago, David gave me a garden sun clock with these words on then and it sits in the front garden. Made this card for David for his birthday which is on Friday. It’s not a SU stamp, but I love it and it is so appropriate for us. Everything else… Read More »

This card was made for our team color challenge on facebook. Below are the colors to be used in the challenge. The background was created using the retired Brushstrokes… Read More »
