New crazy game of tag. You get tagged, pick the 6th folder in your photo gallery, pick the 6th picture in that folder, add to your blog with a description. This picture was taken about a month ago. If the grandkids maintain good grades (A's & B's) through the semester, we celebrate by taking them out to dinner (restaurant of their choosing). This time they chose the Red Lobster. So… Read More »
Today's post includes two candyholders I made for my grandchildren to take to their teachers since it is Teacher Appreciation Week. I cannot remember where I got the template for this box, but it was about a week ago. Sorry I cannot give credit to the original owner. I had to modify the box (made it larger) because the candy I bought (Hershey Bars) did not fit into the original box. … Read More »
It's time again for the Emerson girls! I love these images! They are by Emerson and are from the American Art Stamp website. At least, that where I buy them because they have a large selection. I know that they are also available at Hobby Lobby but they only have two or three of them and for the last couple of years, it's been the same three. The image was… Read More »

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 »
Today's card is for Jazzy Inspirations Challenge #9. Check out their site for some awesome cards by the Jazzy Cats and join in on the challenge. Who knows you may win and get to be a guest designer on the blog. I'll be back with the recipe tomorrow – gotta go! Thanks
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. Recipe:… Read More »
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!
When I saw a card like this on Dawn's Stamping Spot, I knew I had to case it. Well, I didn't exactly case it because I changed a couple of things – so let's say I was inspired by it! 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 »
