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.

Happy Wednesday. I have a quick post for you today. I promised to share more of the cards that I created using the Reach for the Stars stamp and die set from Stampin' Up!

Here's a sneak peek: Bright greens and yellows. I cannot remember... Read more →

I made three different attempts at a card for this sketch and am still not happy with it. In the end I went with a card made using two old sets for Paper Rose Studio called Super Hero Fun and a die called Cityscapes. This card is going off to Send A Smile 4 Kids. Here's a sneak peek: Once I had photographed the card and re-looked... Read more →
