No, that isn't a spelling error!  It's President Theodore Roosevelt's Birthday and since he is responsible for giving the teddy bear his name, I thought I share that story.  I' m also include  a Teddy Bear Card from our stamp set "Beary Best Friends". President Roosevelt and the Teddy Bear Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his… Read More »

You saw it here first!!!

Probably not true but it sounds good to say it (LOL).  This my first hybrid card.  The ornaments and greetings are from My Digital Studio and the paper and ribbon are from my stash. In printing out the ornaments, I found out that my Real Red prints out as Riding Hood Red.  I'm glad that I saved my card stock, inks and ribbon from the last year's in-color!  Also, I printed… Read More »

Lovely as a Tree

Good Morning Everyone.  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I am feeling so much better and I wish I could say it was because of my husband's delicious spicy chicken noodle soup.  Nope!  I finally went to the doctor's and he put me on antibiotics. Today's post features the stamp set "Lovely as a Tree".   The card was made for LNS Challenge #42 –  I was inspired by Sharon… Read More »

I’m having so much fun it ought to be against the law!

The My Digital Studio is so addicting!  I worked on a business card and  submitted it to Vista Print for printing.  If it had been designed by my favorite designer (Michelle), it would have cost me $25.00!    Front Back I'm also working on my 2010 Calendar which will print out to 12 x 12.  Once the year is over, I can take the pages and make them into a scrapbook.  I've also… Read More »

New Card Kits for Sale and more

Good morning everyone!  As I mentioned earlier, I've been trying to get over a head cold.  Well – my husband decided to make the most delicious chicken soup ever!  It was just what the doctor ordered and because it was so hot (spicy), it cleared my sinuses (LOL).  I'd include the recipe but he's the type of cook that throws in everything that he feels is good and doesn't measure anything - just… Read More »

Bloomin’ Beautiful

I've had a head cold for several days now and have not really felt like stamping.  Today I decided to make a card that was bright and colorful.  I think I failed in the colorful but I liked the way it came out anyway (LOL)! I used a technique from Tami White that I saw recently.  Here is the video.   You need chipboard (I used On-Board Book Basics (Small)) and any embossing folder to get this look.  I used… Read More »
