Hi Stampin’ Friends Have you heard the saying “Dog Days of Summer”? That usually happens in August around here but it’s that hot now!

Check out the Masculine card I made yesterday with the… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends Today’s card features the Open Sea Stamp Brush Set. I love it for it’s classic images and old world designs. Perfect for your Father’s Day projects or a travel photobook. I used it for my older brother’s birthday. I added the Modern Melody Designer Series Paper as the background. Added a little red to make it pop! The image was printed out on Very Vanilla Card Stock using… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends Saw this neat tutorial on the Stampin’ Up! blog and thought I would share it with you. Today I wanted to demonstrate some basic techniques for creating different splatter sizes. I like to use the larger Aqua Painter for all of the splattering I do because the bristles hold more ink.

Left to right (my niece, aunt, me and granddaughter) For today’s card, I decided to go shabby… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends I’ve been wanting to show you all the beautiful birthday cards I received for my 70th birthday.

Here are some of the hand made cards I received: They are gorgeous! Lisa Liz Becky Laurenda

Hi Stampin’ Friends We went out to dinner to celebrate David selling his sailboat. Of course, I’ll go out to dinner anytime, any excuse! My sweater matches one of our new colors called Strawberry Slush. When I bought it, I immediately thought that looks like “Strawberry slush!”. The girls laugh when we go into town to go shopping because when I see a color, I saw that’s Elegant Eggplant or… Read More »

We then went shopping (girls love to shop!). Then when I left her off, I picked up my grandson, David, and we went to see the movie “After Earth” with Will Smith. It was… Read More »
