Blessings of Home for a Perfect Birthday

So, I was in a mood to make a shabby chic card and wanted to use the color “Misty Moonlight” in it. But I forgot I sold the cardstock, ink and marker because it retired! And, yes, I sell everything once it retires because I want to be able to buy the new things in the catalog without digging too deeply into my own pockets. Can you relate? For the… Read More »

Miss You by Peekaboo Farm Cuties!

I had so much fun making this card! I love the cute, adorable farm animals in the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set. You can create so many cute cards – choose from a cow, pig, horse, and more!

Happy Birthday Peter!

Today’s card features the stamp set “What a Guy” and is a non-SU stamp set. Usually when I am using a “contraband” stamp set it’s because it’s for a very special person. In this case, it’s for my nephew, Peter. When I first saw this stamp set, I thought of Peter – it is so him! The digital image was printed out on Basic White Cardstock and layered with Cherry… Read More »
