I love combing new stamp sets with our retired stamp sets. In this case I used Snow Front with Country Livin’. The Country Livin’ Stamp Set is a favorite that I will not sell or give away! This card was cased from someone I follow but isn’t a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. She does the most amazing full scene cards. Since I only wanted part of the tree images, I colored… Read More »

Today is my son, Louie’s, birthday. He would have been 55 years old – he died in 1995. After we moved to Arkansas, he enjoyed his frequent visits here and said he would come and live here to be near me. When Stampin’ Up! came up with the image of the little farm boy in the Heartland Stamp Set, I knew I would buy this set and always keep it.… Read More »
The Sail Away Stamp Set reminds me so much of when David and I would sail between Oxnard Harbor and the Channel Islands.

This stamp set is part of the Come Sail Away Suite Bundle.… Read More »
