I promised another hot air balloon card and here it is. I've got to say, I'm loving the pastels in the pattern paper. They are such a breath of fresh air. I had a hard time deciding what colors to use for the balloon, but I love how it turned out. Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon? I have once and it was exhilarating. It's definitely something I would do again and I'm not fond of heights. Would you ever take shot air balloon ride? … [Read more...] about Happy Wednesday

We Are So Close!
March 19th is the first day of Spring. Only 18 more days to go. We've had a really wet Winter and I cannot wait for Spring. It's been days and days of rain this Winter. And bonus... Daylight savings is only 10 days away. I'm looking for longer days very soon. With longer days and warmer weather on the horizon, it seems like the perfect occasion for a hot air ballon ride. I'm using the hot air balloon dies this time, layering them together. … [Read more...] about We Are So Close!

Sweet As Honey
If I haven't talked you into purchasing the Bee Mine Suite yet, here is one more project to twist your arm. Once again, I'm using the adorable bee stamp and pattern papers. I found the easiest way to make the center panel is to start out with the full sheet of the red card stock. I cut the two pieces of pattern paper to the size I needed. Before I glued them to the red card stock, I stamped the dashed lines for the bee trail. Then I added the … [Read more...] about Sweet As Honey
Happy Valentine’s Day!
It is so nice to open my mailbox and find something other than bills or flyers addressed to "Occupant". I just received a lovely Valentine's card from my friend Lyndi in the mail a couple days ago. This really tickles me because Lyndi lives across the street from me. You're probably wondering why she bothered to mail it when she could have just left it on my porch or handed it to me. She knows, just as I do, how nice it is to open your … [Read more...] about Happy Valentine’s Day!
