Based on retired Chateau Bella Rub-Ons.   I paired it with the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration Mini… Read More »

Easter Blooms

Hi Stampers Today's card is using the digital image Easter Blooms Brush stamp Set.  I printed it out on Very Vanilla Card Stock in Chocolate Chip.  The pattern paper is  Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and the ribbon I used is the Marina Mist Satin Ribbon (retired). When I was heating the ribbon to give it that "scrunched look", I put the Heat Tool too close to the ribbon and… Read More »

Digital Elements of Style

Hi Stampers Usually when I print out a digital image, I make a couple of extra copies to have on hand when I'm pressed for time and I want to make a card.  I made this card a couple of weeks ago and colored it in blues and greens. I decided to use the same image but used much brighter colors such as  Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz.  I also added… Read More »

My Dear Kind & Wonderful Friend

Hi Stampers I must be in a shabby chic mood because it seems that's all I've been making lately!  I love the way this turned out.  I used the All Holidays Stamp Brush Set and the sentiment "My dear kind and wonderful friend" as the focal point for this card. I paired it with the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper for a vintage and shabby chic look.   The sentiment was printed out… Read More »

New Techniques Class

Hi Stampers David and I went out to dinner tonight to celebrate the sale of our home.  We ate at Petit Bistro – it's one of the few places where I can order my steak well done and it comes just as juicy as medium or rare!  Yummy!

Thanks for Caring

Hi Stampers I've been decluttering my stamp room and came across this beautiful lace  still in the sealed wrap package!   I know that it is not a Stampin' Up! product but I wanted to use it because it screamed Shabby Chic/Vintage and you know how I love those type of cards. I'm also using the Thanks for Caring Stamp Set which retired last year.  The DSP is from the Attic Boutique Designer… Read More »

PS I Love You

Hi Stampers I have to tell you decluttering is the worst!  I keep getting side tracked in looking at old pictures.  I found some of me when I was in my 20's!  I hadn't seen them in years and was surprised to come across them.  First, here is one that I found of David & Felicia.  They are now 11 and 10 and will be 12 and 11 in a couple… Read More »
