This card uses many of the pieces from the February 2016 Hello Sunshine Paper Pumpkin kit. I combined pieces from two of their card examples to create this card from similar Pinterest posts. The airy Calypso Coral flower outline is actually a peel and stick flower that I cut in half (so double the cards!). And […]
Gold Swirls for a birthday
For today’s post I’m moving onto another of my Paper Pumpkin kits, February 2016’s “Hello Sunshine.” It was such a cheery set, especially for those of you who were living with records snows this year in February – lots of spring flowers to cheer you up??!! The kit had 3 different card examples and you had […]
Thank you flowers
Still working on alternatives from my October-2015 Paper Pumpkin kit! The kit featured 3 different card layouts, but this is the 4th card I’ve made using the kit.

Garden wall trellis makes a beautiful card

This kit included 4 Crushed Curry cards so rather than just making the card with that, I cut […]

Here’s another alternative card from the October, 2015 “Blissful Bouquet” kit. These darling 3″ x 3″ cards are perfect for […]
Happy 4th of July!
Have a safe and fun holiday with family and friends. And remember all those who are serving, or have served for us and our country! Especially during all the unrest we are experiencing around the world. Be thankful that we are American citizens with all the freedoms and advantages that brings to us!
Robotics camp – huh??
What’s a post about robotics camp doing on a paper crafting site? Grandkids’ creations! No crafting this past week for me since our grandkids came to spend the week while they attended robotics camp at Rice University. And each evening after dinner we made them put away their iPhones and play card games…argh…LOL, they called […]
