This card is for my youngest daughter. As you can see by the previous card (which I made a couple of days ago), the two girls are complete opposites. I want to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day and hope everyone enjoys this day. We plan to go out for brunch to Copeland's. I received this from my friend Jane and thought I would share it with you: Mothers Real mothers… Read More »
This is not a Stampin' Up! stamp but I wanted to use it anyway for my daughter Stephanie. This is the way I remember Stephanie and not the 31 year old she is today. I guess it's because she is the baby of the family. This is the card I made for my oldest daughter Deena. As you can see by the style of the cards, they are complete opposites.… Read More »
These flowers are addicting! I was not one of the first one to buy this set, but after seeing all the beautiful cards everyone else was making, I knew I had to have it! And I'm not sorry! This time I decided to try watercolor crayons. I colored the main image in with the Perfect Plum crayon and then blended it in using a blender pen. So much fun! The pattern paper is… Read More »

I bet you are wondering where I got the gorgeous paper! It is from the Au Chocolate DSP (retired) that I used yesterday. The colors are Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla but I made it into Chcolate Chip and Regal Rose. I used the brayer and Regal Rose Classic ink giving it several coats. I meant to take a picture of the piece of paper before I added the Regal… Read More »

Recipe: Stamp Set: Friends 24-7 Paper: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Designer Series Paper Au Chocolate (retired) Ink: Chocolate Chip Accessories: Ivory Grosgrain Ribbon, Bigz Frame, Oval Scallop, Sponge, Flower from Michael's, Big Shot… Read More »
Today's post includes a Mother's Day card I made for my daughter Deena who lives in California. One of the bad things about living so far apart is that I don't get to spend very many holidays with her and her family. No stamping on this card – not even for the sentiment! One of the things I like about computer generated sentiments is that you can personalize it as… Read More »
Today's card is in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. I did not have an appropriate SU stamp so I thought I'd used this cute little guy instead (I've had him for a couple of years). The rest of the post includes the history of Cinco de Mayo and my favorite meal to make on this special occasion – Chicken Mole! I've also included the recipe. History of Cinco de Mayo While not… Read More »
If you look at all the cards I've made, you will notice that 90% of them have some type of pattern paper on them. The reason I do this is because I love to make them even more special or to "jazz" them up. I also use flowers or some type of "bling" embellishment but my favorite is the pattern paper. Since Stampin' Up! is offering the buy… Read More »
I am having so much fun with this technique – I think it was originally shown at the Seattle Regionals. I've made pink, yellow, purple and red/orange watercolor roses in the last couple of days. Here's a sneak peak at the purple and red/orange roses. I've colored them but won't put them together for another week or so, I don't want to bore you with too many cards using this… Read More »
