I am so glad that the Stipple Blossoms Stamp Set carried over so we are able to enjoy it and create beautiful cards for another year. Which favorite stamp set carried over for you? Roses are my favorite flowers, as I mentioned a couple of days… Read More »
Today’s card is for my best friend, Becky, who lives in California. We have been friends since 1960 (high school) and are godmother to each of our daughters. The image is not a Stampin’ Up! stamp set but I loved it and is so Becky and me! We laugh now as much as we used to in high school! The other friend we are close to is Diana who lives… Read More »
Starting on 9 June 2014, I will be featuring masculine cards every Monday. This type of card is the hardest type of card for me to make. And yet, most of the people (relatives) I send cards to are males (grandsons, sons-in-law, nephews, brothers) so go figure!This card is for my brother, Eddie who birthday this year falls on Father’s Day (15 June). I used the digital image from Counryside. … Read More »
My granddaughter, Cissy, loves owls so it was relatively easy to make her a card. Her bedroom colors are red, white and black and I decided to use those colors for her card.

Which age group do you have a problem with for cards?I used Red Glimmer Paper to give the card a little “oomph!”… Read More »

I’m excited to share our newest photopolymer set, Endless Birthday Wishes (Item# 137553). It’s similar to the set we offered for the holidays last year called Endless Wishes. The concept is that you can build lots of different birthday greetings (and more) by combining the handwritten words with typed words and phrases. And with photopolymer stamps grouping words and phrases together is simple. I just ordered my today because I don’t… Read More »
Today’s card is for my daughter, Stephanie. I used the new colors Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss and the Gorgeous Grunge and Bring on the Cake Stamp Sets.

To make the butterflies and strip of Blackberry Bliss Card Stock pop, I used the… Read More »
I just recently bought a MacBook Pro (Happy Birthday to me!!!) – I’ve always been a pc user but wanted to make the switch to the Mac. All I can say is that it is a challenge to try and learn a new way of in entering data! But I’ve been wanting one for a long, long time and I was finally able to buy one for myself. … Read More »
For today’s card I used a non-SU stamp (gasp!!!). I selected this one for my friend Diana’s birthday.

Diana, my other friend, Becky, and I have been close friends since high school and I thought this one would be perfect for her.I pulled the… Read More »
