Last year I bought the Tag Buffet Project kit for my Christmas gift tags and one of my classes. Alas, COVID prevented me from holding the class and seeing family so no need for my tags (I ordered all my gifts online, probably like so many of you). But, I did send Christmas cards as […]
Anniversary
Fall (and tropical storm!) hit Texas with cooler temperatures!
It looks like my making fall cards is paying off…we are finally got a “cool” front, along with a tropical storm, not a hurricane-YEA. For those of you up north…this means early summer weather – LOL. For us in Texas, we are looking at the 60’s for several days! Yea!! Another fall card today to […]
A batch of cards for FMS427
Practicing social isolation hasn’t been a problem for me up to now. Since I retired I spend most of my time in my craft room, alone – LOL. But my poor husband it going crazy not being able to go to his office. That said, he is retired and doesn’t have to go in, but […]
Banner surprise, but where’s the banner?
Today’s cards were made from my June-2016 Banner Surprise Paper Pumpkin kit (you know I’m almost always behind)! I love the cards in the kit, but didn’t think too many on my birthday list would appreciate a banner for just one day. So off I headed to Pinterest, isn’t that just the greatest invention since […]
Finally, A day to celebrate with FMS271
Yes, I said finally…read to the end and you’ll see why I titled my post this way! I decided to create another Valentines Day card with this week’s FMS271 sketch. This time I used the So in Love stamps and the So Detailed thinlit dies bundle to create a simple, elegant card. But as I looked […]
Silver Anniversary surprises – with a special gift box
I wanted to create a more masculine box for today’s post, hence the Basic Gray and silver. When I finished I realized this would also make a great Silver Anniversary gift box for someone special. A sad note since almost all of the supplies I used on this box and the boxes themselves retired this past year. […]
Everything is not black & white…
Maybe it’s black and cream instead? Last weekend I saw a post from a fellow demonstrator, Ginger Pelfrey with a gorgeous B&W card she created for a challenge. I loved it and starting pulling all my retire black and white papers, only to find mine were “very Vanilla” not white. Okay, so I rolled with that […]
With love, for you
My family seems to avoid the traditional summer months for weddings and instead choose to have a fall or spring wedding. That means several fall wedding anniversaries are coming up and, hey…August’s Paper Pumpkin is just what I need to make some anniversary cards. I love it when the Paper Pumpkin cards are printed on front and back […]
Paper doilies and Love notes-January 2014 Paper Pumpkin
Ah, nothing says love better than pretty doilies, hearts and “xoxo”. January 2014 Paper Pumpkin kit had all the ingredients, but I thought it needed a little different approach in putting it together to make it stunning! And of course pretty enough to give to that special someone in your life! The original suggestion was to put […]
