Many Happy Birthdays with February’s Paper Pumpkin
Slider cards are such a fun, interactive way to say Happy Birthday to someone special in your life. But they may be hard to design and create if you are starting from scratch.

I made Paper Craft Crew’s Top 3 Picks!!

Although I didn’t get today’s card posted in time for the challenge, it’s up there as one of my favorites. Why? Because it is Black & White with a pop Melon Mambo, one my all time favorite […]
Happy Valentine’s Day with lots of treats!
As I said on yesterday’s post…WOW…I had a great crafting weekend! I finished all my Valentine’s Day treat containers for my staff, faculty and co-workers – 32 and counting! I saw a post early last week on Facebook, I think, about celebrating Valentine’s Day. It suggested rather than focusing on what you did or did not receive, to instead spread the love to […]
