Today's post includes a very simple card for Father, whether it's for Father's Day, birthday or any special occasion. As you can see it doesn't have any stamping on it nor fancy embellishments. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I don't have very many sentiment stamps so I find myself using the computer to generate the sentiment. And I kind of prefer that because I can personalize… Read More »
I wasn't in the mood to stamp today but I did want to have a card for you. I pulled out this image that I had colored several weeks ago. The reason I didn't use it because I used the wrong color (should have used Bordering Blue instead Baja Breeze). I inked up the brayer in Baja Breeze and added color to a piece of Au Chocolate DSP which was… Read More »

I hope everyone enjoyed their day today. After a delicious brunch at Copeland's, I was ready for the sofa but decided to stamp instead. Then I took a nap! Today's post is a masculine card. I've been doing so many floral cards lately that I felt the need for a "male" card. I just received this stamp set and decided to play with it instead of sticking it in a… Read More »
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 »
