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 »

It's a cold and windy day and this card is just perfect for this type of day. You can't get more cheerful than a bright yellow card, can you? I cheated a little and did not use all SU products (gasp!!). I wanted this ribbon for the card – the black gingham I had from SU did not look as good so I went with the organdy ribbon.

I have to share this photo with you. My friends say I spoil my granddaughter and namesake. But I want to lay that rumor to rest once and for all. As you can see we make her work for her upkeep! Aren't they cute at that stage when they want to help. Too bad it doesn't last! Thanks for stopping by!

I tried to stitched the block together but it just wasn't coming out right. I then adhered the blocks to a white sheet of paper and then stitched it. So much easier… Read More »
I'm having too much fun creating Easter Cards this year! I keep seeing such neat ones in the different blogs I visited on a daily basis. In fact, I think I spend too much time surfing my favorite blogs (KWIM?). This card was inspired by one that Leslie Miller (Running with Scissors) did for Flourishes Stamps. The color that looks like Cameo Coral is really Regal Rose. I tried adjusting the… Read More »
I'm part of the Business Stampers Coach Group which is led by John Sanpietro and last week he challenged us to post every day on our blog. So you will probably be hearing from me a lot more often. I don't know if I will make cards every day or whether I'll featured other things such as tips, techniques or something interesting I've read on the web. Anyhoo, today's post… Read More »
This card encompasses two stamp sets and two die cuts. With Spring in the air (forget the freeze for tonight), I'm drawn to using our designer series papers that are soft and pretty. This one is called a Walk in the Park and is in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Stamp Set: Great Friend, Oval All Paper: Whisper White, Going Gray, Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper Ink: Black Stazon… Read More »
