Remembering You…
Quick post today as we have lots going on this weekend between soccer games, birthday parties, and everything else. Today, I’m sharing my card from last night’s downline meeting. Each month, my Downline group gets together to discuss what’s going onwith Stampin Up, do make & takes, eat dessert, and swap new card ideas. For this card, I saw an idea online using a monocrhomatic background and subtle colors that aren’t using associated with … [Read more...] about Remembering You…
Happy Birthday
I think one of the most common cards I make is a Birthday card. It can be a challenge to come up with new ideas every time. While making this card, I realized my go-to for birthday cards is to use flowers. I tend to use flowers before I reach for any cake or party stamps. I think it's because we have a huge variety of choices when it comes to flowers and they can be so pretty when stamped. This card uses the flowers from the stamp set … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday
Nothing Beats Homemade
Have you ever been in the card section of the local store and you've looked at a dozen cards, but you don't see just what you want? This one is too mushy. That one isn't mushy enough. And most are way too expensive. I am here to help you. I make cards. I make lots and lots of cards. And I can make custom cards for you. You decide colors and theme. You decide what you want it to say. And I do all the work. Here is a sample of a recent custom … [Read more...] about Nothing Beats Homemade
Happy Fall!
I know Fall officially started a few weeks ago, but we are just starting to have a few cooler nights here and there. I love the pretty Fall colors that you see on trees, but we really don't get much of that here in SoCal. Anytime I want Fall colors, I have to make my own. But that's so easy to do with paper, stamps, and some dies. Today's card uses the brand new Corrugated Embossing folder. This folder makes the paper look just like … [Read more...] about Happy Fall!

September Paper Pumpkin Revisited
Last Friday, I shared the September Paper Pumpkin kit and what it looks like assembled. For today's project, I took some of the pieces from the September Paper Pumpkin and altered them to fit my scrapbook page for Halloween. I love pocket pages for scrapbooking, it makes things so much quicker when it comes to getting my photos in albums. I can add my pictures and add a couple cards and embellishments and I'm set. The two bottom … [Read more...] about September Paper Pumpkin Revisited
September Paper Pumpkin
I have to say, Stampin Up hit it out of the park with the September's Paper Pumpkin kit. In case you missed it, September's kit came in this adorable black box with spider webs printed all over it. If you collect the boxes, this is one you don't want to miss. The kit itself contained enough supplies to make 24 treat holders. This is perfect for those that want to give out some special treats to your friends or your kids friends. As … [Read more...] about September Paper Pumpkin
