It's time again for the Emerson girls!  I love these images!  They are by Emerson and are from the American Art Stamp website.  At least, that where I buy them because they have a large selection.  I know that they are also available at Hobby Lobby but they only have two or three of them and for the last couple of years, it's been the same three. The image was… Read More »

I don't have a card to share today because my granddaughter is with me all day and she's 2 1/2 years old.  Need I say more? Anyhoo, I thought I'd share a tip on generating a sentiment on the computer.  As you may have noticed, a lot of my cards have computer generated sentiments because either I don't have the sentiment or I don't like the style of sentiment that I have… Read More »

Anyhoo, today's post… Read More »

I must be in a mood for Easter card.  This is the 2nd card I've made today.  Check out my other blog Inspirations by Rachel for the other Easter card. For this card, I was inspired by Barb Mann from Splitcoast Stamper.  Of course, I changed a couple of things because I could never follow directions – ask my husband (LOL)! Though you cannot see it on the card, I… Read More »

Today's card is for SCS Limited Supplies Challenge LSC213 which is to use only black and white.    I thought that the Manhattan Flower textured impressions would be perfect for this challenge.   I used whisper white to emboss the flower and then cut it out along one of the edges.  The sentiment is stamped on Black Linen Textured card stock.  I used White craft ink and then heat embossed using White… Read More »
