I don't know what it is, but I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Some weeks are just like that. My daughter is coming home from college to celebrate her big brother's graduation from college two weeks ago. Now that they are older, it's such a blessing to have both kids home under the same roof even if it's just for one night. I'm back with the Hues of Happiness Suite of products. Oh my goodness, this pattern paper just makes my heart … [Read more...] about Happy Fri-YAY!
Happiness Abounds
One of my favorite stamp sets from the Catalog pre-order is the Happiness Abounds bundle. I absolutely love the coordinating pattern paper. For today's card I chose the rainbow sheet and matched my flower colors to the paper. I used my blending brush to add a bit of yellow to the tag just to soften the white color. And then edged the ink with a bit of pink to help it stand out. Then I added a lot of the iridescent rhinestones because I love … [Read more...] about Happiness Abounds

A Double Fan Fun Fold Card
Just try to say that five times fast! It's quite the mouthful. I think that's what this technique is called. I found a pattern for this unique fun fold online and created my own card using the Flowering Fields Suite. This is one gorgeous card. It is so unique that it stands on its own, and all the different folds with the different patterns are just beautiful. The pattern online made a larger size card, almost 7" tall. It wouldn't fit in one … [Read more...] about A Double Fan Fun Fold Card
Tall Flowers
Oh my goodness, I think this one is my favorite card so far with the Flowering Fields Suite. Slim line cards are so popular right now, but sometimes they can be tough to create if your stamp isn't big enough. I knew the actual stamp for the field wasn't going to be long enough so I had to adjust my design a bit for this card. First I cut my white card stock length based on how long I thought it should be. I started with the yellow flowers in … [Read more...] about Tall Flowers
