Happy Saturday. Oh... I got to make another kiddies card for Ronald McDonald today. I saw this challenge across at Time Out and couldn't help but bring out my Birthday Monsters dies again. This time I paired it with a background stamp from Stampin' Up! called It's in the Stars. Here's a sneak peek: I didn't think I would get half as much fun out of these dies as I have and I think they are just perfect for Ronald McDonald House. Here's the challenge from Time Out: I stamped the background stamp and heat embossed it with white embossing... Read more →

Instead of the ribbon, I went with a... Read more →

I went looking for some inspiration and found some across at Freshly Made Sketches. The sketch inspired me to ink up the Sweet Citrus stamp and die set as well as the accompanying embossing folder. Here's a sneak peek: And here's the sketch from Freshly Made: I really liked the idea of leaving the bottom blank. I actually made two versions of this card - a very clean and simple... Read more →
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a fun theme for us. I was inspired to use a new set I purchased from Stampin' Up called Share a Milkshake. Now, I know that technically some people say you drink a milkshake, but I like mine thick and I like to eat them with a spoon. None of those weak drinks that you can suck up through a straw for me. My favorite is strawberry and I like them with lots of cream on top:-) Nothing better on a... Read more →
