Last week at our Downline Meeting, we spent our time making Halloween Treats for our local Ronald MacDonald House. We've been doing this for several years now. We try to have treats for the house for most of the major holidays. We haven't had as much time the past couple months, but we make the effort when we can.My downline, Poli usually designs our project and very often provides the paper supplies to be used for the treats. This treat holder … [Read more...] about Doing Good Deeds
September Thank You’s
Yay, me! I managed to get my September Thank You cards out relatively early this month. I delayed posting the card so my customers that received one of these would get to see it first. This card uses the Country Lane Suite. This stamp set is a great choice when you want to practice your coloring with our Blends markers. The shading that you do with the flowers and leaves gives added depth to the image. You probably noticed there is no … [Read more...] about September Thank You’s

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!
