As promised in my previous post, filled with lots and lots of stamping, this post is all about the paper. Beautiful patterns of paper combined together into one card. I also recently came across a blog post from 2011 with many many different card folds and realized I had gotten…
I like being able to be creative and make my own backgrounds and ‘Designer Series Paper’. It isn’t as hard as you might think. Just pick some stamps that go well together, ones from the same stamp set are always a good start. Stamp the largest image first then fill…
It might only be early August but here in Ohio we have had a cold snap. Highs in the mid 70’s and lows sometimes in the 50s over the last couple of days. Now we all know these won’t last but it’s fun to be reminded of the weather to…
If you’ve been a frequent visitor to my blog you know that I’m a card maker and sometimes a 3D maker but not a scrapbooker. If you are like me, you enjoy making cards to send to your friends and family. But, even if you aren’t a scrapbooker, that doesn’t…

I’m sure some of you are old enough to remember this nostalgic look. I remember wearing dresses like this in grade school. Do you? This new suite of products is just adorable. It reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen. I was inspired by a card by Debi Meissner’s card.…
This week my brother and sister- in- law celebrate their wedding anniversary. Today’s card is for them. I pulled out Best Birds as I’ve been seeing so many great projects with that set and I was thrilled there was a Happy Anniversary sentiment included. It’s great when a whole card…
