We all hate to make these type of cards but especially if it’s for a member of your family. This one is for my sister and the family of Michael Anthony Martinez who passed away last month. He was the most delightful, funny, awesome, loyal and caring nephew a person could ask for. He was taken much too soon. RIP Mikey💕 The stamp set I chose for this card is… Read More »

I was drawn to this whimsical set because my husband (like so many others) has a hate/love relationship with the squirrels in our area. We have gone through so… Read More »

Well, it’s been a long 2 months but I’m back to making cards again. I’ve been blogging since 2009 and it’s soooo good to back! 🥰 Back on 30 June I tripped and fractured my elbow and was in a cast for several weeks. During this time, I fell again and received a concussion. My headaches are gone but my arm is not yet fully functional. But I’m back and… Read More »
Last week I fell and hit my left arm and face on the tile kitchen floor. I have a black eye, large lump on my left eyebrow and fractured elbow. I see the orthopedic Dr on Friday – I hope he can tell me how long I will have my arm in a cast. Until then, I am unable to create cards.

It’s Monday and time for a masculine card. Masculine cards are so easy and fun with the new Sailing Home Bundle from Stampin’ Up! I’d say that this is my favorite masculine stamp set – I think because my husband and I were sailors when we lived in California. We loved sailing out to the Channel Islands whether it was a quick 2 day trip or a week of fun!… Read More »

Are you a plant person? Do you love succulents? I like succulents but only the fake ones 😊 because I don’t have a green thumb and don’t have any luck with growing either plants, flowers or succulents! My daughter, Stephanie, has started collecting them so I thought the Simply Succulent Bundle would be perfect as a birthday card! This stamp set contains 8 cling images, the ones I used in… Read More »
I loved the Pansy Patch bundle as soon as I saw it in the new catalog! I bought the whole Pansy Petals Suite Collection so I could get the paper, embellishments, etc. For today’s card, I’m using one of the printed images from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. I cased the card created by Stampin’ Up! but change a couple of things to make it my own. I fussy cut the flower image with our… Read More »
