Happy Sunday, again :-) In case you missed it, you can find my Paper Players card on this post. I have a quick card for you that I created from the sketch across at Casethissketch. It's a really cool sketch and I decided to turn it on the vertical instead of the horizontal. I used my favorite The Greetery sets - Robin and Wren and Blooming Branches to create this little scene. Here's the sketch: I created a sponged background for my frame and used my nested squares to create the frame. I stamped and die-cut the birds and the... Read more →
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great Tic Tac Toe board for us. For my choices I went horizontal on the top line - Patterned Paper, Die Cut and Embossing. For my card I used some of my new favorite goodies from The Greetery: Signed & Sealed with a Kiss, Signed & Sealed and the Shiplap dies. Oh... I LOVE those dies!

Happy Saturday. I have a couple of cards to share with you tonight using the Stampin' Up! Detailed Doves dies. I was asked to help create Christmas and Hanukkah cards for distribution to old age homes and also military families.

In this time of being grateful - I really am grateful to all of you who read my blog, comment or send me... Read more →
Happy Wednesday. I have a few variations on the same layout - with the same set - for you tonight. Christmas Selfies from My Favorite Things is such a fun set. It was perfect to make multiples of for both SendASmile4Kids - and also for seniors to send out to their grandkids. So, I stamped up the images, did some very simple coloring, and add lots of glimmer and shine - but not with real glitter. One set of requests asked for holiday/winter themed cards but no Merry Christmas. On the other hand, another request was to HAVE Merry Christmas!... Read more →
