It's 90 degrees outside, I'm playing James Blunt "You're Beautiful" on my IPOD and I'm making Christmas Cards! Life does not get better than this! Today's card is for my Christmas in July class on 2 September 2009. This card is cased from the catalog (page 35). I changed a couple of things, i.e., ribbon is different and the sentiment is a different color than the trees. At the Christmas… Read More »
Today's post includes a card I made for my Stamp Camp scheduled for 26 August 2009 at my home in Bella Vista, AR. So if you live in the area and would like to attend, please contact me. To me, a sympathy card calls for clean and simple lines and that's what this one is. No embellishments, layers or multicolors. I cannot remember where I got the sketch but it… Read More »
I had already started working on this card when the brown man rang the doorbell. It was my long awaited and much anticipated goodies from SU. I had to contain myself as I went through the box and then laid the goodies carefully aside while I finished my card! But I promise, I'll have a card for you tomorrow using some of the new stamps, perhaps Flower Fancy or Autumn… Read More »
Would you help me out? I'm trying to determine which type of card is your favorite. I know that I tend to like, no love the vintage, traditional (with lots of flowers) type of card but I would like to know which is the one you like the most. Vote on this poll on the right. This poll will stay at the top for the next week (until 16 August… Read More »

Today guest stamper is Angela Mireles from Arizona. Angela is a new customer and is also my nephew's wife. She's only been stamping for a couple of months but as you can see by her card that she is a very talented lady! Would you like to be a guest stamper?

The box on the SCS tutorial was 4" x 4" – this box is 5" x 4". Download Top Note Box.pdf (1066.8K Thanks for visiting!
There's a problem with printing my file for the template for the corset. This is where I found the template Stampington.com . All you have to do is right click and print. It will print out to the perfect size
I saw a card by Kayleen Clements using a corset template a couple of weeks ago and knew I would be making it as soon as I could. Here it is. I used the Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper for the corset because I liked the pattern. I used the oval scallop punch (cut in half) for the frills at the bust line and the legs. To get the holes even… Read More »
Today's card came about because of two things: (1) needed to come up with cards for this month's stamp camp which will consist of sympathy cards. We all need them but are not usually in a mood to make them when we really need them! and (2) I decided to join in on the late night stampers challenge #31 which is to make a monochromatic card. When I think… Read More »
