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
Flowering Fields
I'm back this week with more projects using the Flowering Fields Suite. This time I'm using the Tulip Fields stamp set. This one takes a bit of practice to get the field stamped right. The horizontal yellow flowers are all one stamp. I recommend using the Stamparatus with this stamp to be sure you have it straight. Then the triangle fields are added in. I recommend starting on the outside, next to the yellow flowers and then work your way in to … [Read more...] about Flowering Fields
Happy Fri-Yay!
We are 11 days from the end of the 2021-22 Annual Catalog. Eeek! I'm going through my supplies now to see what items I need to have before they retire. Plus I always like to stock up on the retiring In Color products to make sure I have my ink refills and enough card stock to last me.

Every Chapter
Last year, my girlfriends and I decided to start a book club. Actually, it kind of started as a joke. We were talking about doing a monthly wine night and decided to legitimize it by making it a book club. We're almost a year into it and we've really been enjoying it. We do spend quite a bit of the evening discussing the book, what we liked about it and what we didn't. So far, all the books have been enjoyable. It's been a nice change to read … [Read more...] about Every Chapter

April Sampler-Best Wishes
Periodically, customers will share ideas I can use for my Sampler kits. One idea that I've heard from several different people is a Birthday Sampler. I thought a Birthday Sampler would be a perfect kit to be able to include a picture on it. The neutral colors are perfect for any gender. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month seasonally. Several customers … [Read more...] about April Sampler-Best Wishes
