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 »

Valentine Birthday

Hi Stampers I am way out of my comfort zone when I make a card that's not shabby chic or vintage or something like it.  Today's card is that card and it's for a friend whose birthday falls on 14 February and she likes bright bold colors. Well back to decluttering – tomorrow I tackle my stamp room AAAACCK! Thanks for stopping by today!

Rue Des Fleurs

Hi Stampers I love the Rue des Fleurs Stamp Set.   This splendid, Victorian-inspired eight-piece set has everything you need to express gratitude with unconventional humor and wit! Coordinates with the sumptuously feminine Attic Boutique product suite. In case you are thinking this card looks familiar, I cased it from the Occasions Mini Catalog (Page 22) but changed a couple of things to make it my own.  I added another layer using… Read More »
