Hi Everyone. Quick post for you tonight. I needed a birthday card and went looking for a little inspiration. I found this great challenge across at the Male Room Initially, I was looking through my stamp sets for something with a vintage feel - but then I came across an old set from My Favorite Things called Uncorked and it had the perfect sentiment for the challenge. Oh... and... to be honest.. it was the perfect sentiment for the person this card is going to. I've known this particular gent for 40 years and I swear he hasn't aged a... Read more →

Hi Everyone. Wanted to pop by and share a couple of masculine kiddie cards I created for the current card drive.

Just in case you missed it :-) Here's the link to... Read more →

Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. I saw this great sketch across at Retrosketches and was inspired to use it to create a masculine and a feminine birthday card. I really am trying to make the English Garden DSP work for me. I love the colors of the DSP, but, as I've said before, some of the patterns on the paper are really large and my immediate reaction was to put it with all the other DSP that I buy and end up putting in my cupboard. It's such a waste and I am determined to make it work. :-) So, for... Read more →
