Loving having the time the last several weeks to create cards for various template challenges. Several weekends ago I saw Brian King’s card for the FabFri98 color challenge (Basic Black, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Perfect Plum) and loved his idea to make it a non-Halloween card with typical Halloween colors. I was working on SGGWWC template […]
Birthday cards
Celebrate Today with PPA322
Today’s card was also inspired by the PPA322 template challenge for this week. My first card for the challenge was made without my usual background paper or dry embossing (see it here). But you know me, I like bright, happy colors and something in the background and this is my 2nd card for the challenge. The card base […]
Here’s to Cheer a 90th birthday!
My father will be turning 90 in February (WOW!) and I thought this week’s PPA322 template challenge would be a great template to create his card. I used masculine colors from the retired Sweater Weather DSP and the Here’s to Cheer stamp with the “there is much to celebrate” saying since it seemed so appropriate for his celebration. […]
Celebrate the Stars, 60th birthday – MOJO469
Yesterday I shared my MOJO469 card entry for this week. If you missed it, see it here. Then in a moment of creativity at 5 am in the morning (unheard of for me, a non-morning person) I created this 2nd entry card using the same template. When I first saw this week’s template, I thought it would take […]
Can’t get enough birthday balloons!
Birthday balloons, lots of them! This is a card I created a while ago, but forgot to post it! I was working with one of the card bases from my Cottage Greetings card kit. But more in keeping with my bright, fun colors, I paired it with more dramatic colors for a very special birthday […]

Marquee Messages for your birthday
I was up bright and early last Friday morning which is very unusual for me on my days off! But I spent Thursday dealing with possible medical issues with my dad and I was ready for Connie Stewart’s SGGW weekend template challenge as a diversion of creativity. This past weekend’s template was a little more challenging […]
One more flowery Happy Happy
As I was straightening up my craft table last night before working on my March-2016 Paper Pumpkin kit alternative ideas, I found 2 more of the flower card from the February’s kit. And an idea popped into my head looking at the supplies sitting on my table. I cut the front off the card, cut that in […]
