• The Old and the New

    A couple of posts ago, I stated how much I hate to use my designer series paper.  I tend to hoard it.  This is the first time I've used Parisian Breeze since I bought it.  I thought I would use it with one of my older but goody stamp set, Heartfelt Thanks. Today's card is…

    Dogwoods

       I used the stamp Christmas Rose from a Christmas Cardinal Stamp Set to make my dogwoods.   Don't you think they look a little like dogwoods??  The dogwoods are out around our area and they are beautiful!  I was going to take some pictures to share but it's been raining – maybe tomorrow.  Recipe: Stamp…

  • An Egg-cellent Easter

    I made these holders for my grandchildren, David 10, Felicia 8 and Rachel 2 1/2.  I bet you can guess who will receive which candy holder.  They are like the ones I made for Teacher Appreciation Week.   After making the 1st two candy holders, the next 3 went pretty fast. I didn't really want to…

  • You’ve been tagged!

    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…
